Free Traffic Legal Advice

The car park is owned / provided by Kent County Council and this is why the ECP NtK is not PoFA compliant - they don't even mention PoFA.

You have missed the appeal deadline so you now have to play the long game.

Never reveal the driver.

There is no way to keeper liability in this matter so rest easy.

I'll get photos tomorrow and post up.

On a side note, I just received a private message linking me to a website www.ninjapcn.co.uk where you type in the postcode of the car park of the PCN, this one is CT21 4HL, and it tells you automatically if the PCN is valid and or appealable.

I did this and it came back with:

"🛑 Deadline Alert: You are more than 28 days past the issue date of your PCN. A formal POPLA/IAS appeal is legally timed out.

How is this even fair if the PCN was issued 11th April and I only received the final notification 2 days ago!?!? That's crazy. There must be a formal appeals process. Please help!
As I said before I'll post pictures when I get a chance tomorrow.

You don't need any photos.

You now have to wait to see if they pursue the matter further.

There is nothing further to do at this point in time.

You are now waiting for a 'Letter Before Claim' which we can then respond to.

I'll get photos tomorrow and post up.

Hi there, it is worth trying to appeal even if the deadline has passed. Just put the date of your final notification and download the template...then follow the steps. Good luck!

So I haven't received any "letter before claim" or any NtK. I've received a debt recovery letter. So I've received one letter, and one debt recovery letter. They claim they had sent a 2nd letter when I requested the FoI request but I never received it. So, I feel like I haven't even had an opportunity to appeal.

Where do I go from here please? I'm at a loss. I don't feel £170 at all fair and the small amount of time before palming the feeling off to a debt collection agency already?

Please see 2nd and most recent letter.

Thanks for your reply here. I'll simply keep waiting then.

As always, I'll post back here with any updates.

Cheers,

You are still waiting for a Letter Before Claim.

You won't get a Notice to Keeper. That's in the past. You are getting hopeless begging letters from debt collectors that you can ignore. You can't appeal.

Debt collectors are trying to frighten you into paying. You either follow our advice and ignore or you pay them and they will stop.

And if it's a Letter of Claim, it's the same thing. Don't get hung up on the precise words.
