So appeal with the following as the Keeper only:
I am writing to formally challenge the Parking Charge Notice issued on 1st April 2025 in relation to an alleged incident on 31st March 2025 at Canal Street, Milton Keynes.
This appeal is submitted strictly in my capacity as the Registered Keeper of the vehicle. I do not identify the driver and make no admission as to who was driving at the time.
Having reviewed the notice and the accompanying images, I reject the charge on the following grounds:
1. The photographs provided do not show any clear breach of parking terms and conditions. The vehicle was briefly located on a roundabout, outside the private estate, and not within any clearly marked or signed area that is stated to be under the control of UK Car Park Management.
2. The area lacks sufficient and prominent signage or visible demarcation to indicate that it is private land or subject to parking restrictions. Without clear signage at the point of entry or where the vehicle was stopped, no contract could have been formed.
3. Your Notice to Keeper fails to comply with Paragraph 9(2)(a) of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. It does not specify any period of parking. A single timestamp does not constitute a period of parking and does not demonstrate that the vehicle remained on site long enough to conclude that any contractual terms were accepted or breached. As such, no liability can be transferred to the Registered Keeper under POFA.
4. Should you reject this appeal, I will not engage with the so-called Independent Appeals Service (IAS), which is not a genuinely independent or impartial forum. You are welcome to proceed directly to litigation if you believe your position is sound. I am fully prepared to defend this matter in court and will seek a full costs order for unreasonable conduct if you pursue a meritless claim.
You are now formally notified that I object to the processing or dissemination of my personal data to any third-party debt collection agency. Given my stated position and willingness to proceed to court, any such action would be unwarranted, unnecessary, and contrary to the UK GDPR—particularly the principles of data minimisation and purpose limitation under Article 5(1)(b) and (c). I reserve the right to report any such misuse to the Information Commissioner’s Office and to seek compensation for any breach under Article 82.
I will also report any unauthorised sharing of my data to the DVLA, the original data controller. The DVLA released keeper data solely for the purpose of enforcing a parking charge. Passing that data to a debt collection agency when a dispute is ongoing and litigation has been invited would constitute misuse.
I expect either cancellation of this charge or a Letter of Claim. Do not refer this matter to a debt recovery agent.
