Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi all, is anybody able/willing to take a look at this one at all? Can find out more information if required.

TIA

Anyone at all? If someone could help that would be excellent, i have also just posted on the MSE forum too but you guys have been great in the past, so thought i would persevere.

Regards

The NtK does not appear to be PoFA compliant.

Unusually, they seem to have calculated the PoFA period wrong - their notice says:


Paragpragh 9(2)(f) of Schedule 4 the Protection of Freedoms Act says the notice must:
.

On that basis, I'd be tempted to appeal as the keeper on the lines of the below:


If appealing online, be careful there are no drop down/tick boxes that cause you to identify who was driving, and keep a close eye on your spam folder for their response. If they do not respond within 28 days, chase them.

We have had the below from Total, not dismissed the appeal and havent issued a code to appeal to Poplar either:

Thank you for your appeal.

 

Please see below response to your appeal:-

 

The Notice to Keeper letter was issued within the appropriate time frames required by Schedule 4 of POFA 2012, and contained the required wording as outlined by Schedule 4 of POFA 2012, to enable us to pursue you for payment of the unpaid Parking Charge in the event we are not informed of the name and serviceable address for the driver within 30 days of the issue date of the Notice to Keeper letter. If you can provide this information within the 30-day period we will transfer the liability but if this is not provided the liability will remain with you.

 

We have placed the above parking charge on hold until the 18th of April 2026 (30-day period)

 

Kind regards


What should be my next move?

Regards

Apologies for reposting, i'm wondering if I should just go back with the same initial response? Seems odd they haven't accepted my arguement but also haven't turned it down, and have given me a further 4 days?

I've just gone back to them saying -


Good morning,

Again I wish to draw your attention to the below -

"You are unable to hold me liable as the registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act"). You have failed to issue a Notice to Keeper properly compliant with The Act, and it is now too late for you to do so.

There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue a POPLA code.'

I guess they'll now send me the Popla code, will update once I hear back.
