Thank you so much, I’ve only just seen this but will certainly make the complaint to the DVLA as you have recommended.
I have now received a debt recovery letter (see attached). Should I just ignore it?
Thanks again for everyone’s help to defeat these crooks!

Thanks so much for the advice. Is there any chance it could turn in to a costly court / legal battle?
I’m loathed to pay them a penny but also don’t want to spend a fortune trying to beat them.

Thanks for your reply. Yes unfortunately it’s past that now.
Would love to hear if anyone knows what my options are

Hi everyone, I’m new here and after some advice regarding a Notice to Keeper at the infamous Southgate parking Stansted Airport.
I received a Notice to Keeper stating that the driver of my vehicle was parked incorrectly, see attached PCN.
I appealed to MET Parking as follows;
“I am the registered keeper. MET cannot hold a registered keeper liable for any alleged contravention on land that is under statutory control. As a matter of fact and law, MET will be well aware that they cannot use the PoFA provisions because Stansted Airport is not 'relevant land'.
If Stansted Airport wanted to hold owners or keepers liable under Airport Bylaws, that would be within the landowner's gift and another matter entirely. However, not only is that not pleaded, it is also not legally possible because MET is not the Airport owner and your 'parking charge' is not and never attempts to be a penalty. It is created for MET’s own profit (as opposed to a bylaws penalty that goes to the public purse) and MET 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. MET have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.”
Of course Met Parking declined my appeal and gave me a POPLA verification code. However I have been working away for over 3 weeks and have now unfortunately missed the 28 day appeal deadline (deadline was 23 May but I only got home on 31 May).
Have I missed the opportunity to defeat these crooks or would anyone be able to kindly point me in the right direction of what to do next?
