Author Topic: Parkmaven Notice to Keeper PCN - Maghull Central Square - help with appeal  (Read 373 times)

Hello,

The PCN attached has been received however the registered keeper details are incorrect.

The car was recently purchased at the dealership and the dealership sent the incorrect name, the person the PCN letter is addressed to does not live at this address and is not the registered keeper, the dealership have since amended and corrected the registered keeper details.

Is this grounds for an appeal? The PCN has incorrect name but correct address of actual registered keeper.

For clarity, the person the letter is addressed to was not the driver of the vehicle and incorrectly registered as registered keeper.

Thank you

No.

You are not being clear at all.

But I guess that your car’s V5C document has the incorrect name you refer to, and this is the information the DVLA gave the parking company.

It’s your responsibility to correct the V5C and I’ve done it myself in similar circumstances in the past.

If this were a way of getting off, lots of people might deliberately use the wrong name.

Note that correcting the V5C should not cost you anything. Not doing so could theoretically lead to a £1,000 fine, although this is rarely enforced. You say this has now been done I note.

Yeah - the V5C has now been corrected.

The PCN is addressed to my partner who isn’t the registered keeper and weren’t the driver.

If you post the details of the PCN it might be possible to identify appeal grounds, do not obscure dates if you do so.

So, to clarify... The person named on the NtK does live at the address. That person is neither the RK nor the driver at the time of the alleged contravention.

In which case, the person named (your partner) needs to send the following appeal to Parkmaven:

I am not the registered keeper of this vehicle and was not the driver. My name was mistakenly provided by the dealership when registering the vehicle. The DVLA record has since been corrected and I have no connection to the vehicle in question.

Furthermore, the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA) in the following respects:

• It was sent to an individual who is not the registered keeper, and therefore no keeper liability can arise.
• It misstates the period for liability, demanding payment within 28 days of the date of issue, whereas PoFA requires the 28-day period to begin from the day after the notice is deemed to have been received. This also breaches section 8.1.2(e) of the BPA/IPC Private Parking Single Code of Practice.

As you cannot hold me liable as Keeper or Driver, you are required to cancel this Parking Charge Notice and remove my data from your systems.

If you fail to confirm cancellation and erasure of my data, I will escalate this to the Information Commissioner’s Office for a breach of data protection obligations.

My partner does not live at the address on the PCN but all other points are correct as he is not registered keeper nor driver so he will submit your appeal. Thank you for your help!

You should have told me that bit of info earlier. If you've not sent that appeal yet (in your partners name), then send this slightly amended version:

Apologies, found it difficult to explain clearly without exposing too much info.

My partner submitted the appeal last night but may be something we can add in the future.
