Free Traffic Legal Advice

Dear NPC,

Thank you for your pitiful response, which has done nothing but confirm your ignorance of the very rules you are supposed to follow as required by the BPA/IPC Private Parking Single Code of Practice (PPSCoP). It appears that either basic reading comprehension or integrity is in short supply at your company.

Let me explain this in simple terms, since you seem to struggle with your own industry’s Code of Practice.

Your claim that you are not required to meet the PPSCoP in full until December 2026 is categorically false. Had you taken the time to read Page 3 of the PPSCoP, you would have seen the following:

From 1st October 2024, all aspects of the Code must be complied with, except for signage requirements for existing sites.

Just so as you fully understand what that means, is that your obligation to retain a record of the actual date of posting has been in effect since October 2024. Your failure to provide a proper proof of postage from a recognised postal provider (Royal Mail, Whistl, or equivalent) is a direct breach of PPSCoP Section 8.1.2(e), Note 2.

Instead of a legitimate proof of posting, you have attempted to palm me off with an irrelevant “Certificate of Postage” that merely shows when your third-party hybrid mail processor generated the notice, not when it was actually handed over to the postal service.

This is not sufficient evidence to invoke the presumption of service under the Interpretation Act 1978. If you are not are what that means, pass this correspondence to someone who is capable of understanding what it does mean.

DVLA Complaint and Your Breach of the KADOE Agreement

Since you have now publicly admitted (in writing, no less!) that you are not complying with the PPSCoP, you have also confirmed that you are in breach of your KADOE agreement with the DVLA. Your access to DVLA keeper data is strictly conditional upon compliance with the relevant Code of Practice—which you have just declared you do not follow. Duh!

As such, your response will be submitted as formal evidence in a complaint to the DVLA, requesting that they review your KADOE access due to your failure to meet the necessary compliance standards. I'm sure a competent adult will be able to explain to you the likely consequences of this.

What Happens Next

1. Provide a proper lodgement record from a recognised postal provider (not Unity5’s internal timestamp nonsense).
2. If you cannot provide this, cancel the charge immediately.
3. If you refuse, expect to be reported to the DVLA, where you now face the very real risk of losing access to keeper data due to your utter incompetence.
4. If you still persist in this farce, I will see you in court, where your inability to comply with the PPSCoP and your laughable approach to procedural fairness will earn you a well-deserved costs order for unreasonable behaviour under CPR 27.14(2)(g).

I suggest that before you embarrass yourselves any further, you escalate this matter to someone within your company who is capable of understanding the PPSCoP, the KADOE agreement, and the serious implications of breaching both.

I look forward to your correct response—not another load of mendacious drivel.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]

Thanks for your time can you drat me a complaint to the dvla?
