Parking Eye windscreen PCN - appealed now at popla - Long Eaton Asda

[lookinforinfo]

On what grounds did you challenge them on previous occasions.Did they  provide you with the land owners contract on any previous occasion, And is this PCN issued for the same reason as the others were?

 

As far as I can see PE are correct when they say they do not have to reply to FOI queries. Check out the FOI regs. as to who has to reply to a FOI request.

Most parking companies do not provide contracts to motorists with PCNs until they are at the Court stage for commercial reasons. You could ask Asda if they would provide it.

 

Please read the Town and Country regs, for advertisements as each car park is different and will depend on how long there has been parking signs there and whether planning has been granted and when, as well  if planning has not been requested.

It is a pity that they know who the driver was as the PCN is not compliant with PoFA on two counts.Had they not known that they would have great difficulty winning in Court should they decide to go. it is now much more likely that they will go knowing who the driver is.

Which is why  we do not reccommend appealing.

You say the driver has not been identified.

you say you challenged the PCN.

 

Did you write it or your friend using your suggestions.

 

PE are pretty crafty when motorists write in to challenge their PCNs.

They ask things like "are you challenging as the driver?" If your friend ticked  " yes ", then they identified as the driver. 

Could you please post up the exact wording and copy of the challenge made. 

 

If you are certain that the driver has not been id'd, you could send them an SAR and ask for the information and where the proof is where the id occurred.

If they lied I guess they may well cancel the ticket.

We may be talking about two different parking cases here.

On the PCN shown at post 3 it states  that it was sent on the 11th May-20 days after the Notice to Driver on the 11th April. To comply with POFA that PCN would not normally have been sent out until at least 28 days after the NTD. 

 

As the PCN makes clear, the reason they sent out the PCN early was because someone wrote in and from that appeal/letter they deduced that the author had outed who was driving.

 

Therefore PE sent out a PCN that was not a Notice to Keeper because there was no need because the driver had been revealed. Under PoFA when a driver has ben revealed PE cannot then send a Notice to Keeper since they already know who was driving.

 

Your letter does not appear to reveal who was driving and nor is it dated. But what seems certain is that a letter was received by PE prior to the 11th May that triggered their response.  Who was the PCN addressed to? Are you sure your colleague didn't write to PE before you, or are the PCNS mixed up?
