Sorry, I don't have the exact wording - it was a web form to complete and I forgot to scrape it.

I got an email Friday stating that TPS, as a gesture of goodwill, have dropped the charge and nothing further is required from my part.

The jist of the appeal was:

I have received a PCN as the registered keeper of the vehicle which has been reported by yourselves as overstaying the permitted parking period on <dates/times>.

During this period, I had rented a van from Hertz 24/7 (invoice attached) which corresponds to the aforementioned times/date.  I have since contacted Hertz regarding this issue and awaiting their reponse, however given that the Hertz vehicles will not incur charges for overstaying the permitted period, I was under the impression that this would be extended to their customers.

Please advise on next course of action etc. etc.

Thanks for those who replied to assist on this - I won't use that car park again (will choose Ikea next time!!).

Luckily for you, they cancelled the PCN. Had it not been so, your appeal would have made you liable as the driver. It is a classic example of how not to inadvertently give away the drivers identity when appealing as the keeper. A lesson learnt for the future.

The above doesn't state I was driving the car, nor the van - just that I was the keeper of the car (which they know) and that I hired a van from the invoice.  I didn't state that I drove the car nor the van - I might not have gone to the car park at all and hired it for someone else.

That's as maybe. However, on the balance of probabilities, which the judge can use to determine disputed facts, it could have gone against the defendant had it progressed to court.

I am not accusing you of doing anything wrong. Just that you have to be very careful how you word appeals if you are depending on no keeper liability. Next time, you will be aware of this.
