You can reply

I am the keeper of the vehicle with registration [REG] and I dispute your 'parking charge', received 27th January 2026. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner.

As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with all the requirements of PoFA 2012, you are unable to hold the keeper of the vehicle liable for the charge. It does not specify “the period of parking” as required, amongst other failings. This omission renders the notice non-compliant, and as such, the operator cannot rely on PoFA to pursue the registered keeper.

Partial or even substantial compliance is not sufficient. There will be no admission as to who was driving and no inference or assumptions can be drawn. PPS has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver only.

The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation of the law of agency.

Expect your appeal to be rejected. Come back here when it is. They reject because upholding a valid appeal means no money for them, which is all they care about.

Also, are they required to leave a ticket on windscreen? Someone simply run around the car, took 4 pictures and run away. Driver was present in the car for the whole 3 minutes

No.

Different rules apply if they do, but it’s covered in the legislation.
