Leeds Station no stopping notice
« on: »
Hi,

Any help/advice gratefully received.

My other half received a parking charge for stopping on the double yellows outside the car park/Leeds station. There was no traffic in front or behind - I was there literally for seconds as a friend jumped into the car. The registered keeper wasn't with me.

The notice is described as Postal - Non PoFA, issued on private land (the incident happened well after the recent rule change in December.

I am not the registered keeper of the car.

The notice was received 15 days after the supposed offence.

How should I proceed? I'm a bit thrown by the conflicting advice I've seen online.

Thanks in advance.

I can post a redacted copy of the letter if this helps.
Thanks!

Yes.
If it’s “non-PoFA” then we need to see why, but if it is then the liability can’t be transferred from driver to the registered keeper.
The legislation change means that PoFA can be used because the land is now “relevant land” but if the notice doesn’t comply with the requirements of the legislation, as its title appears to indicate, then the transfer can’t be made if the driver is not identified.

These files show the redacted notice.

The route in - which does have signage. But only on the way in - this was the evening before when it was dark and the signage is to your left on the wall. There is a much smaller sign a little further ahead on a metal pole.

The other photos show the route out of the car park.  I turned out and spotted a workmate - stopped for seconds on the double yellows - and they jumped in.  There isn't any readable signage when you turn out of the car park (where I stopped). A bit further ahead there is a very small sign on a metal pole but this wasn't in vision where I stopped (very briefly!).

The dates show that, issued on 10 February, the notice is too late to transfer liability from the unknown driver to the registered keeper, with presumed delivery on 12 February being more than 14 days after the alleged transgression on 28 January.

So indeed they can not use PoFA to transfer liability and say that they’re not doing.

Their statement that they can assume you were the driver is complete twaddle. They make untrue statements like this in the hope that you will believe them and pay up.

You “appeal” by telling them that you’re not liable and not going to pay, essentially. It’s a common form of words which, if I find it, I will post here.

Thank you!  If you could post the correct wording - or direct me to where I can find it - that would be very much appreciated.

What a great website this is!

Also, am I better posting or emailing my reply - or does it not matter which way I tell them where to go?

You (well, the registered keeper) can simply say
Quote
I am the registered keeper.

You state that your notice is not attempting to use PoFA to transfer liability from the driver to the registered keeper.

As your notice is not PoFA compliant I will not be accepting any liability for the outstanding parking charges.

The driver is not known to you and I will not be providing any driver details.

Your options are;

Cancel the notice

OR

Dismiss the appeal and refer this to the IAS


Many thanks,

The IAS is useless and unlikely to uphold an appeal if it’s not cancelled, but if you stay the course it’s very unlikely to make it to court. Plus the IAS will cost them something like £23.
