Notice to keeper:


I have spoken to the driver of the car and have received the following account:

Quote
Car was parked about 10 mins; driver has indicated that someone else was in the car the entire time whilst driver retrieved an item from a nearby shop; driver doesn’t believe it’s signed clearly as you enter to suggest that it's a private road where parking is prohibited.

Driver has parked in this area numerous times in the past without incident. Valid blue badge held at time of incident.


Mostly interested in compliance with PoFA 2012, but any advice gratefully received.

Cheers (and thanks for the link), you're quite right that it's simply an instant in time specified on the NTK, rather than a range.

So, standard reply appears to be along these lines:

Quote
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. 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. UK Parking Patrol Office 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.


Presumably appealing via recorded post is the method likely to incur UKPPO the most handling fees. Given we're outside the 14 day period now, there's no remedy for UKPPO - right? They're out of time to deliver a fixed NTK.

I will do some digging into who the landowner is; I think a lot of what's near Wembley Stadium is Quintain's.

I'll reply here once the initial appeal has been rejected, assume the next step then may as well be a POPLA appeal.

Recorded post is not usually advised. The recipient can choose not to accept it. Email or first class post with certificate of posting are better. Don’t waste your money.

Response entirely fails to engage with the substance of the appeal. Actually, it cuts off mid-sentence at the end too ;D

I'm keen to do an IAS appeal, is there anything else worth stating in the appeal or is the initial appeal text enough?
