Major update, and I think I hit the lottery with luck and that I need to go play in the casino's today.

My second letter came in today and I was like great, it is going to be another rejection and I will just ignore it along with any other letters that come through. So I opened it and to my surprise the letter was accepting my appeal and mentioned that any further issues will be taken into account that I already had an exception so that it will hold.

So out of curiosity, I called the number on the line and got someone and I asked to speak to the person that had their name on the letter for approval and was told that she wasnt in at the moment, so I decided, what the hell and explained that for some reason I submitted the same proof for both and the second one was approved and the first one was rejected.

To my surprise they looked at it, saw the first payment proof and also accepted the appeal. So I am good to go now and they sent an email approval as proof. Time to go to the casino!

What about the threat of collections? I’ll check the AS portal and if they don’t require the identity of the driver then I’ll be a pain for them. I don’t know how they can open a debt against someone for owning a vehicle when no driver is identified and their message clearly states that it is the liability of the driver.

I added the reference number and made the adjustments and sent the first one yesterday and I will send the second one today! Thanks for the advice, and I will update when I hear back because I know I will hear back.

Thanks, I’ll get that changed. I don’t know the law changed but luckily the fine is from before it.

Tomorrow is my last day to respond though in the time limit.

Take a look at this recent case involving Saba - Topic: Penalty Notice from Saba for not paying for parking. You can take a similar approach yourself. The intent here is essentially to string the matter out so that it goes past the 6 month period they have to prosecute (not that they ever would prosecute, as they don't get any money from that).

Thanks, is there a way to contact them that isn't through their online portal, as I don't believe they can force someone to compel who was driving, but the online form appears to require an answer for it. I found this while looking (https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/saba-parking-charge-re-failure-to-obtain-a-valid-ticket/15/), would this also be viable to send the email to their DPO or was that bad advice? If so, I will send my first one tomorrow as it is the day before the last day I think and then the next one probably Saturday.

I am the registered owner of a vehicle that received two PCNs, one received on Dec 18 for a Dec 11 offense and one on Dec 22 for a Dec 13 offense. The registered driver paid through the trust application but incorrectly entered the registration details (turned a V into a Z but the rest of the plate was correct). I have uploaded both PCNs along with the back of one since it was the same on both. I am assuming they got my details as the registered owner through DVLA already.





The driver had to use the train station both days and wasn't aware there was an issue in how they entered the registration until these PCNs started to arrive. The drive has since resolved the issue through the Trust app. For note, the Trust app did not register the vehicle when entering, and the driver assumed it was an issue in the system and, before leaving the car park for the day, manually paid through the Trust app.




It looks like I have until Jan 14 for the first one and then Jan 18 for the second one, which is a Sunday. What defense would I, as the registered keeper, have? I read the start here post and see that I have no obligation to disclose who was driving. However, when I went to initially dispute the PCN through their site, it appeared they required a box to state who was driving to dispute it through the online portal. Does that mean I need to mail a letter, as they don't have an email address to send anything? Any help would be appreciated.
