It would be nice to see the original PPN.Also, unfortunately you have identified the driver.But, I`m sure PPS was one of the PPC`s that eventually discontinue their claim.Below is a post by b789 from last year.Not to worry. You are just one of literally thousands who have been suckered into this well know scam at this location. If you follow the advice, you won't be paying a penny to PPS.There are several things wrong with the Parking Charge Notice (PCN) that has been issued as a postal Notice to Keeper (NtK). The first one is that it is not fully compliant with all the requirements of PoFA to be able to hold the Keeper liable for the charge. PPS have absolutely no idea who the driver is unless the Keeper blabs it to them, inadvertently or otherwise.The Keeper and the driver are two separate legal entities and there is no legal obligation on the Keeper to identify the drie third person. No "I did this or that". Only "The driver did this or that". So, don't tell 'em your name Pike!Also, the location is NOT Holloway Street but Mattise Road. I have seen PPS provide doctored maps to POPLA to try and con them about this issue.For now, as PPS will reject any initial appeal, just send the following and wait for the rejection and the POPLA code.Easy one to deal with… as long as the unknown drivers identity is not revealed. There is no legal obligation on the known keeper (the recipient of the Notice to Keeper (NtK)) to reveal the identity of the unknown driver and no inference or assumptions can be made.The NtK is not compliant with all the requirements of PoFA which means that if the unknown driver is not identified, they cannot transfer liability for the charge from the unknown driver to the known keeper.
