Hi! Thanks for any advice on this

I’ve been issued a PCN by CPM. They state the reason for issuing is no parking outside of a marked Bay.

I pulled into a side road performed a U-turn dropped off a passenger and then left. At no point did I see any signage or recognise this was a car park

(42 Queens Rd, NG2 3AS)

They have two pictures which provide timestamps showing I was there a total of two minutes.

I appealed directly to CPM as the keeper (not driver) which was rejected.

I am planning to appeal to IAS however wanted some advice to ensure I have the best opportunity to win and any other guidance on next steps is welcome

I’ve also heard that IAS are not that fair and you end up with lots of scary debt letters while sorting it. Wondering whether it’s worth fighting or just paying to avoid hassle

IAS will be a waste of time and effort you will have very little chance of a positive outcome. However if you feel that anything is to be gained for the future the by all means go ahead you place your appeal as outlined and PPC replies this is like tennis match to and fro the onto debt collectors letters and maybe court.

If you want some meaningful help, drip feeding us information isn't the way to go.

My advice, based the cornucopia of information available. Plead guilty to minimise the penalty.

Much appreciated, thank you for the advice

POPLA Parking Appeal for PCN reference xxxxxxxx


I am the registered keeper of vehicle registration xxxx xxx

I wish to appeal the PCN on the grounds that there is no PoFA invoked keeper liability at this car park site.

The driver is not known to the parking operator and there is no legal requirement for me to identify the driver in this circumstance.

Furthermore, the PCN issued by Euro Car Parks is unlawful as it falsely claims that PoFA can be applied in order to move liability from the unknown driver to the known keeper - this appears to be a deliberately misleading claim designed to pressure the keeper into paying.

The claim of keeper liability is also a clear breach of the operator's own Code of Conduct which EXPRESSLY PROHIBITS the mentioning of PoFA (in a PCN) in instances where PoFA cannot apply - any breach of the Code of Conduct is also a breach of the operators KADOE agreement - as a result, the keeper data released to the operator has also been misused.

Furthermore, the issues with PoFA were outlined in my original keeper appeal but again Euro Car Parks issued a response which once again mis-stated their true legal position and again implied that liability could be moved onto the keeper - this appears to illustrate the incompetence of the Euro Car Park staff who are clearly mishandling valid appeals. It also illustrates the fact that Euro Car Parks are not accessing the nature of the land before commencing their parking enforcement - as a result they are issuing unlawful and non-compliant NtKs.




The facts in the case are;

The land at Fullwell Cross Leisure Centre is owned by the London Borough of Redbridge.

The London Borough of Redbridge is a Council and therefore, legally, constitutes a traffic authority.

The car park is therefore council owned and, in law, represents 'a parking place provided by a traffic authority.'

It appears that Euro Car Parks have been appointed by the council to help manage the car park.

Whilst it appears that Euro Car Parks are entitled to help manage the car park, this DOES NOT automatically make it a location where PoFA can suddenly be used to invoke keeper liability.

In particular, Schedule 4 of PoFA confirms that point as Paragraph 3(1)(b) expressly excludes 'a parking place which is provided or controlled by a traffic authority' from being 'relevant land' for the purposes of PoFA.

The car park at Fullwell Cross Leisure Centre is not therefore defined as 'relevant land' for the purposes of PoFA and therefore liability can never be moved from the driver to the keeper as Euro Car Parks are continually stating.



I now invite POPLA to uphold this appeal.




Best wishes,



xxxxx xxxxxxxx

From the looks of the address in the email screenshot, it looks like the court may have been copied in.

I would amend your opening post so as not to identify who was driving - "the driver" parked etc.

As the alleged parking event took place in Scotland, they have no mechanism through which to hold you liable as the registered keeper of the vehicle. Only the driver can be liable, and they don't know who that is.

Ignore for now. If you receive a "Letter of Claim", return here.

No it was a pair of glasses in and a pair of glasses out and I was driving a Smart car.

May be a good idea to contact the court to confirm the claim has been discontinued.

These claims must p__s of the courts.
