Civil Enforcement have sent the notice out too late to be able to hold you liable as the registered keeper - only the driver is liable, and they don't know who that is. On that basis, you could appeal along the lines of the below:
Dear Sirs,
I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ________) for vehicle registration mark ____ ___, in which you allege that the driver is liable for a parking charge. I note from your correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act"). You have chosen not to issue a Notice to Keeper in accordance with The Act, and it is now too late for you to do so.
There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I am therefore appealing on the grounds that I have no liability as the registered keeper of the vehicle. I am unable to help you further with this matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been cancelled. If you do not accept this appeal, you must provide a POPLA code.
Yours,
If appealing online, be careful there are no drop down/tick boxes that cause you to identify who was driving, and keep a close eye on your spam folder for their response. If they do not respond, chase them. If they reject, this should be a straightforward win at POPLA.
Brilliant, thank you.
I will review the methods of appeal and see which is best. I will post back here when I receive anything further.
Once again, many thanks!
