Hi all

I received a parking charge notice through the post a few days ago for being in a car park for 31 mins without purchasing a ticket.

This parking charge notice has a photo of my car and is dated 28/09/17

but the date of the actual event is 13/05/17.

There was no ticket placed on my car at the time.

Isnt this too late now to issue a parking charge notice from an event back in May?

Is there not a time limit when using anpr?

Thanks

1 Date of the infringement 13/05/17

2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 28/09/17

3 Date received 02/10/17

4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [y/n?] No

5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes

6 Have you appealed? {y/n?] No

Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up

7 Who is the parking company? Parking Eye

8. Where exactly Copthorne Tara Hotel, Kensington

Yep dead in the water

I guess it's invalid then. How should I respond?

Probably ignore

Let Eric confirm

simple, you dont respond.

As they are too rubbish to do their own job why would you ant to do it for them.

If you respond and tell them the event was May then they can still sue you as you will be the only person who knows that particular detail and all they have to do is issue a new letter and not rely on the POFA but on general contract law.

In truth,

any company that gets things this wrong wont be getting much else right I woudl never encourage them to even try.

I hope you can remember where you were on the 28/09 at that time so you can bury them if they want to try their luck.

In the meanwhile you ASK the DVLA who accessed your keeper details and when so you can make a complaint about ANPR telling lies to do so.

The DVLA are quite touchy about all of this and will firsty avoid answering your request for info but send a automated rubbish letter saying people are allowed to but not who and when so you will have to persevere.

They do this because they may well lose a large revenue stream when enough MP's get complaints about the parking co's accessing the KADOE system when they have no lawful reason to do so and the ICO may wake up as well

Ok thanks. Is there a guide on what to do? Do I literally ignore all communication? Will it end up in court?

If you get more letters, by all means come back and check here so we can confirm if they're harmless or not. You certainly don't ignore a court claim form or correspondence from a court.

HB

get on to the dvla, once they have responded tell us what they say. You are asking them for who accessed your data and WHEN. After you get this info you rasie a complaint about the compnay abusing the access arrangements and the DVLA for letting them.

Ok will do.

What if they can see from the cctv video that I was driving.

Would that be a problem for me?

nope its ANPR not CCTV.
