PCN - Park With Ease - Brockholes, Preston

[Clobber42]

Hi

 

I received the attached PCN from Park With Ease after a visit to Brockholes, Preston.

 

 

I was aware of the free initial 20 minutes and did not think we had exceeded this.

 

The 'offence' occurred on 01/10/14.

The PCN is dated 04/11/14 (34 days later)

The PCN arrived in my post on 07/11/14 (37 days after the offence).

 

The charge seems excessive to me.

 

 

Before I do something stupid, can thgis be enforced,

 

 

and would I win an appeal?

Before I do something stupid, can thgis be enforced, No, not on the keeper.

 

 

and would I win an appeal? You do not appeal. See below.

 

The NTK does not meet the criteria, under the POFA 2012 schedule 4, for keeper liability. ( Even though they have a keeper liabilty heading, they don't actually quote the act. )

 

Therefore they can only chase the driver.

 

You write a simple letter to PWE.

 

' As registered keeper of vehicle xxx xxx I am not liable for this charge.

 

The criteria for keeper liability under The POFA 2012 schedule 4 have not been met, therefore please address all further correspondence to the driver of the vehicle at the time of event.

 

I am under no obligation to name the driver at the time of event.

 

Any further correspondence received regarding this matter will be treated as harassment and dealt with accordingly.

 

This letter has been sent with proof of postage. '

I'd leave out the bit about not being obliged to name the driver to be honest.

 

Let them write to you again asking for those details and waste a bit more of their money

OK

 

 

They are timed out by ages as they have to issue the NTK within 12 days after the event and then have 2 days for service so 14 days in all.

 

It would be wise to let them know that their claim from the keeper is timed out

so they dont keep sending you silly demands without understanding why you arent going to play their game.

 

 

The say they should cease theri correspondence as you have no liability under the PoFA.

Thanks to all for some great advice. I've sent a letter and I will update on the response.
