Private parking tickets / Re: UKCPS and Trace Debt Recovery - Advice needed
« on: December 04, 2025, 01:38:29 pm »
Thanks for coming back to me so quickly. And thanks also for the information regarding Non-POFA. Below is my appeal letter and also the response they sent back to me.
Subject: Parking Charge Notice [Reference Number]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the registered keeper of the vehicle [my reg given here]. I write in reference to your Notice to Keeper dated [date was here].
This site is railway land, therefore subject to railway byelaws. As such, the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 does not apply, and you cannot transfer liability for this charge from the driver to the keeper.
Your notice is marked “Non-PoFA,” which confirms you are aware that keeper liability does not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, I will not be identifying the driver.
Any further demands for payment directed at me as keeper will be considered harassment and unlawful processing of my personal data. Should you continue, I will consider escalating this matter with the DVLA, the ICO, and the relevant trade associations.
This concludes the matter. Please confirm that no further action will be taken against me as the keeper.
Yours faithfully,
Their reply:
Thank you for your appeal submitted on 21st September 2025. After reviewing your comments, and carefully
considering the evidence collected at the time the Parking Charge was issued, we regret to inform you that your
appeal has been unsuccessful. The reasons for our decision are detailed below:
The area where the vehicle stopped is designated as private land where parking, stopping, or waiting is strictly
prohibited at all times.
At the time of the event, the vehicle was parked, stopped or waiting in this area, and as a result, the driver
contractually agrees to pay a parking charge. Without you providing the driver details, we can not transfer the
liability. As the vehicle has stopped in a no stopping area, you have breached the terms and conditions and
therefore the PCN has been issued correctly.
Attached, you will find photographic evidence showing the vehicle parked at the location mentioned above.
We have extended the opportunity for you to pay the reduced amount of, £60.00, until 24/10/2025, after this date,
the full amount of £100.00 will be due.
Regards,
Appeals Team

Private parking tickets / UKCPS and Trace Debt Recovery - Advice needed
« on: December 04, 2025, 12:58:03 pm »Hey all, I hope you're doing well.
A few months ago I received two letters from UKCPS stating that I had parked on Non-POFA private land at Leeds Train Station and I now owed £60x2 for each fine.
I appealed the fines due to Leeds Train Station being on Non-POFA land and their lack of evidence that I was driving the vehicle at the time. Non-POFA to my understanding states that I am not legally required to state the details of the driver.
The appeals were obviously rejected and their response seemed like an automated one. I now have 3 letters from Trace Debt Recovery to which I have ignored based on advice found on another forum. I am looking for advice on whether I should contact Trace Debt Recovery, give up and pay the fines or if I'm doing the right thing.
