So, just to be clear. To comply with PoFa, they would have to notify the registered keeper within 14 days? Even if the RK was not the driver it would have been valid within 14 days?

Hi,

I am the registered keeper of this vehicle. The driver parked for 14.5 minutes at this location whilst visiting a church over Easter, they entered the private road without noticing the signage, and that the whole road and parking spaces were private property and parking was not allowed anywhere, the driver parked on the double yellow lines on the road. The event took place on the 19/04/25, but the notice was not received in the post until 28/05/25. Due to taking over 5 weeks to receive the notice, this seems to breach POFA, and Horizon are a member of the BPA.

I have already appealed using a a blurb from another post which seemed similar regarding going over the 14 days, but haven't received a response yet.

I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your 'parking charge'. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner.

As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with ALL the requirements of PoFA 2012, you are unable to hold the keeper of the vehicle liable for the charge. Partial or even substantial compliance is not sufficient. There will be no admission as to who was driving and no inference or assumptions can be drawn. Horizon has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver only.

The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable. Horizon have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.

I have attached the documents.

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.
