Non PoFA-Compliant PCN Question
« on: »
Hi, I recently received a (NtK) Parking Charge from Total Parking Solutions.


It was issued on 10/11/25 and pertains to the 'partial payment' of parking fees on 26/10/25.


The notice states 'the driver is required to pay this parking charge'.


This NtK is non-PoFA-compliant as there is no mention of PoFA on the letter - the issue date (considered served on the second working day after the issue date) is outside the 14-day limit.


Is this enough to successfully appeal without too much hassle?

Thanks!

Yes it should be, but for completeness do please share the notice with us.

As you have rightly identified, it is not PoFA compliant.

You as the registered keeper can apply with something like the below:

Dear Sirs,

I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ________) for vehicle registration mark ____ ___, in which you allege that the driver has incurred a parking charge. I note from your correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act"). You have chosen not to issue a Notice to Keeper in accordance with The Act, and it is now too late for you to do so.

There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue a POPLA code.

Yours,

If appealing online, be careful there are no drop down/tick boxes that cause you to identify who was driving, and keep a close eye on your spam folder for their response
