Thank you both for all the advice I will keep you updated on what happens next.Many Thanks

Thank you for your quick response, I really appreciate the help, please see below the appeal I sentDear Appeals Team,I am writing to formally appeal the Parking Charge Notice referenced above.I respectfully contest this charge on the following grounds:1. I Was Not the DriverAt the time of the alleged contravention on 06/08/2024, I was not driving the vehicle. I was returning to the UK from abroad, having arrived at Luton Airport on a delayed flight. I enclose my boarding pass and flight itinerary which clearly show I was in transit and could not have been the driver.The vehicle was being used by another party who collected me from the airport. I was not in control of the vehicle at any point during the time in question.2. Keeper Liability Does Not ApplyYour Notice to Keeper is dated 02/01/2025, which is nearly five months after the alleged parking event. Under Paragraph 9(4)(b) of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (POFA), a Notice to Keeper must be served within 14 days of the incident for keeper liability to apply. As this time limit was not met, you cannot lawfully pursue me as the keeper.3. No Legal Obligation to Name the DriverThere is no legal requirement under POFA or UK civil law for a keeper to identify the driver. I have met my obligations by informing you that I was not driving and have provided evidence of the same.4. Request for CancellationGiven that:•   I was not the driver,•   Keeper liability under POFA does not apply due to the timing of the notice,•   And that pursuing me in these circumstances is both unreasonable and without legal merit,I respectfully request that this Parking Charge Notice be cancelled immediately.If you reject this appeal, I request that you:•   Provide a POFA-compliant rejection letter,•   Disclose all evidence relied upon (including any photographs or video footage),•   And provide full instructions on how to escalate the matter to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS).

Hi everyone,I would really appreciate some help and advice regarding a PCN I’ve received.The charge relates to an incident on 06/08/2024 at Kelly’s Storage. However, I was not the driver of the vehicle on that day – I had just landed at Luton Airport and was being picked up.The first letter I received was dated 02/01/2025,[/img]which is almost five months after the parking incident. I appealed this initial letter and provided evidence, including my boarding pass, to confirm I wasn’t the driver. I’ve attached images of what I sent in my appeal.https://i.imgur.com/Vb6GjbT.jpegThe appeal was unfortunately rejected, and I missed the deadline to respond further.[/img]https://i.imgur.com/iPWiIat.jpegSince then, I’ve received two more letters, bringing the total to four. The most recent one (Letter 4) is especially concerning and I’m worried this might escalate to court proceedings. [/img][/img]https://i.imgur.com/aRhXzwd.jpeghttps://i.imgur.com/aZrJp7W.jpegCould anyone please advise:How should I respond to the latest letter?Should I name the actual driver (if known)?Do I have any grounds to challenge this further?Or should I just pay the charge to avoid court action?I’ve attached all relevant letters and evidence below for context.Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give.
