UKPC parking charge hire vehicle
« on: »
Hi. I received a parking charge from UKPC as the hirer of a vehicle. I have already appealed, they didn’t include the hire agreement and copy of the notice to keeper so I mentioned this and said I appealed it on this basis. But, this is the main reason of appealing, I also said that I appeal on the basis that the number of hours were paid for. Unfortunately the pay machine that was used wasn’t very easy to understand in regards to how to purchase a ticket from it (there was a board of info) so when the parking stay was finished, the less than 2 hours were paid for at the end of the parking time and I attached pictures of these parking tickets that paid for the amount of time. It pays for the length of time but not the exact time period that the car was there, if that makes sense?

I’m really here to get an idea of if this appeal will be rejected by them or not and if it is, can I just not pay the charge? How likely would it really be that I’d be taken to court?

Thank you.

Please read https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/ and post the details it requests.
Unless we can see these, we’re guessing.
It’s true that if you received a Notice to Hirer, if the driver was not identified, and if the NtH did not comply with PoFA 2012, for example by not including the mandatory documentation, that you can not be held liable for the actions of the driver.

If so, you should not care about “being taken to court” because they would lose and would likely discontinue before an actual court appearance, using the process to frighten you into paying.
