Hello,
As you can imagine, I am really worried and not sure what to do ? Will I have to pay the PCN tickets (there are loads).
I have drafted the letter below, is this worth sending for all the PCNs they have issued ?
I'd really appreciate any support.
Thank you.
Dear xxx,
I write solely in my capacity as the registered keeper of the above vehicle.
Liability for the alleged parking charge is denied in its entirety. No admission is made as to the identity of the driver, and no inference should be drawn from this correspondence as to the identity of the driver.
The party seeking to recover this charge is put to strict proof of every element of its claim.
In particular, should this challenge be rejected, please provide:
Strict proof of the legal basis upon which keeper liability is asserted, including full compliance with Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
Strict proof that a legally enforceable contract was formed with the driver.
Strict proof that the contractual terms relied upon were clear, prominent, transparent and capable of binding a reasonable motorist.
Contemporaneous photographs of all signage relied upon, together with a site plan showing the location of every sign in place on the material date.
Strict proof that the signage complied in all respects with the applicable British Parking Association Code of Practice.
A contemporaneous, unredacted contract demonstrating the legal authority to issue and pursue parking charges in respect of this site.
Copies of all ANPR data, payment records, audit logs, machine maintenance records and any other evidence relied upon.
Evidence that all mandatory consideration and grace periods required by the British Parking Association Code of Practice were correctly applied.
Evidence demonstrating compliance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including the requirement that consumer notices and contractual terms be transparent and prominent.
The ANPR images supplied merely demonstrate that a vehicle entered and exited the site. They do not establish that any contractual terms were adequately brought to the attention of the driver, that any contract was accepted, or that any contractual liability arose.
For the avoidance of doubt, this correspondence should not be construed as an admission of liability, an admission as to the identity of the driver, or acceptance that any enforceable contract existed.
Should you decline to cancel this Parking Charge Notice, please provide a POPLA Verification Code, together with all evidence upon which you intend to rely, so that the matter may be referred to independent adjudication.
Yours faithfully,
At this stage all that is needed is the basic non PoFA compliance as you have wrote.
Anything else can be added at a later stage as they will most likely refuse the appeal.
It could be done online on their site, but watch out for any drop down boxes asking for the driver, submit as hirer.
Keep a shot of the appeal before submitting.
