Sorry

Alphabet did send copy of Notice to Keeper
and also Third Party Authorisation letter (customer name is Company)
both attached


I can confirm I never received Notice to Hirer for PCN GA00225695 addressed to my company as the Hirer

To clarify

GA00225695 is the original Notice to Keeper - which I never saw
This was closed and then GA00267727 was issued (PCN1) - Notice to Keeper, This was addressed to my company and received 4th Feb 2025

I made payment for this on 5th Feb 2025, but NCP allocated it to GA00265267 (PCN2) which I didn't receive a copy of (but see below)

NCP then sent a final reminder (for GA00267727 Notice to Hirer) on 9th March 2025

I attempted to communicate with them to explain that I had paid PCN1 (I was unaware of PCN2 at this time), but during this time they referred it to Trace Debt recovery



I have (today) gone back through my Junk email, and found an email from Alphabet relating to GA00265267 - This is a Notice to Keeper (addressed to Alphabet)
An accompanying letter (attached) from Alphabet states

"We have written to the relevant authority transferring liability of this offence to you. The authority will now write to you
directly issuing a new notice with all new timescales."

This was never received

Hi
GaAppeals have responded with this email

=============================
Good Morning,
 
There seems to be some confusion surrounding GA00225695 and GA00267727.
 
When we receive a transfer of liability as we did in your case from Alphabet, the current PCN is closed as it contains obsolete details and a new one opens with a new reference number and a new driver/hirer/keeper. Therefore GA00225695 closed and a new number of GA00267727 was allocated.
 
We can confirm GA00225695 is closed and GA00265267 has a payment of £60 and is also closed.
 
As your Parking Charge Notice GA00267727 has now been transferred to Trace Debt Recovery all further correspondence regarding this notice will need to be sent to them directly as NCP cannot accept appeals or payments regarding this notice.
If you require contact information for Trace please see the below provided details:

And Trace Debt recovery has just sent me this letter (attached)


How do you recommend responding ?

Here's the original PCN1 that was issued 14/06/2024, but notice sent 4/2/2025
I received it and made payment on 5/2/2025

However, that payment was allocated to another PCN, which I never received a copy of
Hence it appeared that PCN1 was unpaid

PCN2 was issued on 16/01/2025, but I never received notice of this

9/3/25 I received notice of non-payment of PCN1, and I contacted gaparjking, and they eventually informed me of the other PCN and that my payment had been allocated to this one
As I was trying to resolve, they then referred to debt collector

Private parking tickets / PCN delays and confusion
« on: May 01, 2025, 07:18:13 pm »
I have received two PCNs and am trying to unpick the confusion, but debt collector is now not communicating and will refer for further action

I have leased the car (so am not registered keeper)
Parking incidents occurred at Cambridge North station

 
PCN1 was issued 14/06/2024, but notice sent 4/2/2025
I’m not quite sure why there was an 8 month delay in issuing the notice ??
I made payment on 5/2/2025, but it was applied to PCN2, which I have not received (see below)
Hence it appeared that PCN1 was unpaid

PCN2 was issued on 16/01/2025, but I never received notice of this


PCN1 was referred to debt collector, and I tried to explain the situation and made an offer
"Without prejudice, I am happy to make payment for the £60 fine, but don’t feel it right for you to charge the late payment, nor debt recovery fee as I never received notice
I look forward to your reply and proposed settlement offer of £60"

This was rejected, and they say that I now have 14 days to pay the fines, or it will be referred for further cation.
They state they will not enter into further correspondence on the matter



All correspondence has been to my company (that is leasing the car) and states
"The driver of the above vehicle is liable for a parking charge....."


What would people advise are my next steps
