Free Traffic Legal Advice

It is quite a lengthy response to provide and is duplicated but makes valid points. I would stated there will be no admission who the driver was rather than no admission I was the driver. I have appealed in the past with this term and also been more succinct in stating in no uncertain terms that I was not the driver. IAS May though unlikely favour you.

I would think this will be classed by the parking company as a major keying error. You can appeal to POPLA to see if they agree with you if not then you will need to wait to see if there are any other outcomes.

Not unexpected POPLA is your Avenue

By the way it is not a fine but an invoice.

 I am of the understanding that the PCN should state that they are pursuing the notice under pursuant to schedule 4 of POFA. I cannot see this in the PCN.

You will have to wait for the PCN to arrive post that on here and advice will be provided M&S have started this scheme over the country and SWMBO fell foul but returned within the parking period so that was that. M&S can sort the matter so don’t let this put you off.Any appeal RK only do not mention the name of the driver.

Unless my eyesight has deteriorated overnight. I cannot read original PCN or reminder. The PCN is not a fine but an invoice. It looks as if in all intense and purpose you were prepared to pay the reduced payment but was thwarted. They will rely on the Interpretation Act in this case. I assume you did not appeal to IAS. If you feel you need to challenge the signs please post them. Unless you want to pay what DCBL require then ignore until you get a LOC this will lead to mediation and you can try to offer payment reduced at this point. You can also alternatively have your day in court.

A few things here as far as  POFA does not apply in Scotland so they cannot pursue the registered keeper under that Act as stated in their rejection.Therefore IAS appeal is not required it is just general contract law. I see they are trying the old chestnut of Elliott Vs Loake a criminal matter south of the border. You will probably receive a NTK there is no requirement to engage with the parking company and as it is a one off then they will not in my opinion pursue the matter. You can if you wish write to them and stare in no uncertain terms that there are a number of cases where Elliott Vs Loake have been firmly rebuked in Courts. You can read the case and outline your reasons that this case is not applicable. There was ample evidence to prove he was the driver.There was forensic evidence etc.
