Any claim made will include a fake added £60 or £70 plus fixed claim fee of £35 and fixed legal costs of £50. No judge would allow the fake added fee. At the end of the day, even if you were a 'one percenter', the judgment would be less than the original claim.

It's up to you. If you don't think that the PCN has been issued unfairly and you are bang to rights, pay it. That is how this unregulated industry works. They rely on the gullibility and ignorance of their victims to give up and just pay it, mostly out of fear.

Thanks so much. There's a slight extra complication in that the "keeper" (Person A) and the person sorting out the admin (the Person B who used the machine) is not the same person. So while Person B might be willing to take the risk, it's in Person A's name - which doesn't feel fair to them.

I don't really understand your point. The person who has to deal with this is the Keeper. Anyone can deal with it for the Keeper but it has to be done in the Keepers name.

The driver is the only person actually liable but they have no idea who the driver is unless the Keeper blabs the identity of the driver, inadvertently or otherwise. If their Notice to Keeper is 100% fully compliant with the requirements of PoFA 2012, then they can transfer liability from the unknown driver to the known Keeper.

So, without understanding who person A or B is in relation to the Keeper/Driver, it means nothing. Just in case there are two different drivers involved, the liable driver is the one who drove in and parked. But they still have no idea who that is unless the Keeper tells them.

For example: wife parks the car (Person B) and feels bad about the fine - even though it was the machine that was faulty.

All paperwork arrives in husband Keeper's name (Person A).

Person B is dealing with the admin as it's her "fault" but doesn't want to start potential court proceedings/threatening letters in the name of Person A, meaningless though they may turn out to be; it's stressful.

But I fear I have strayed from the point - your advice has been excellent, and now I need to decide if I have the bottle!
