Can you please confirm that when they sent the notice, Premier Park did not include with it any other documents (such as a copy of your lease agreement)? If they did not, you can appeal as below, as the hirer only, not revealing who was driving:

Dear Sirs,

I have received your Notice to Hirer [(PCN number)] for Vehicle Registration Mark [VRM]. I am the hirer of the vehicle. There is no obligation for me to name the driver at the time and I will not be doing so.

To hold me liable for the charge as the hirer of the vehicle, you must meet the conditions specified in Paragraph 14 of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (“the Act”). I note from your correspondence that you have failed to meet these conditions. These failures include (but are not limited to):

• A failure to serve a Notice to Hirer containing all the information required by 14(5) of the Act.
• A failure to include the additional documents mentioned by 13(2) of the Act.

As a result of this, you are unable to recover the specified charge from me, the hirer. As I do not have liability for this charge, I am unable to help you further with this matter. I therefore look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been cancelled. If you do not cancel the charge, 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 within 28 days, chase them.

Hi, yes you are right the lease company did instruct the parking company that I am the hirer.

Is what you have show us addressed to you or the lease company? How was it sent to you? By post or as an attachment in an email?

There is no way that the "incident date" and the issue date of a Notice to Keeper (NtK) or a Notice to Hirer (NtH) can be the same date. What we have here is evidence of unlawful behaviour from a company we already know are in criminal breach of The Companies (Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2008, regulation 10.

They are mendaciously claiming that on Monday 3rd March, just two days ago, they recorded the alleged breach of contract, requested the Keepers details from the DVLA and received them on the same date (an impossibility), sent an NtK to the hire/lease company, who then informed them of the Hirers details and they then sent an NtK to the Hirer in the Hirers name and this was received today, Wednesday 5th March.

The DVLA take at least 24 hours to process a Keeper data request.

First things first... Is what you have shown us, the NtK, in your name or the lease/hire company's name? Unless you receive an NtH in your name, there is nothing you can do to appeal it. You are in the centre of a scam and you should inform the lease company of the same.

Your lease company need to name you as the hirer of the vehicle, if they're the ones named on the notice then it's not for you to deal with.

Confirm with them that they have named you as the hirer and then you should receive a notice in your own name, which we can support you to challenge.
