Parking charge notice humberside airport

nigelbb

Indeed this isn't parking. Does the letter you received try & make out that the keeper of the vehicle is liable under the Protection Of Freedoms Acts 2012? If it does it's a lie as the very first paragraph of the relevant section of POFA 2012 states:-

Introductory
1 (1) This Schedule applies where:
(a) the driver of a vehicle is required by virtue of
a relevant obligation to pay parking charges in
respect of the parking of the vehicle on relevant
land; and
(b) those charges have not been paid in full.

Not sure what you mean, they should have replied to your challenge points and sent you a POPLA code. You MUST NOT say who was driving and you DO NOT have to say.

I assume you didn't put the ref number or car reg on your appeal, if not why on earth not, how were they supposed to tally it to a 'ticket'? If you did give enough detail just reply and say you have given all the details (quote the ref and car reg again) and say the charge is clearly punitive and your challenge is your final position at this stage before it goes to POPLA. So they either need to cancel the ticket or send a POPLA code, which the registered keeper is allowed to use without the driver ever being mentioned.

Let's start with what you actually wrote to them and then we can see what we can do sort it out.

Dear Sir/Madam

On 06/06/2013 we briefly stopped our car Reg No at the bus stop at humberside airport, the car subsequently left within a couple of minutes of stopping.

On the 18/06/2013 we recieved a notice for alleged contrivention "No Stopping/Waiting in Restricted Areas or Roadways".

I would like to appeal on the following grounds.

1. No Contract was knowingly entered and no losses have been demonstrated.

2. punitive/unfair/unreasonable charges.

3. Inadaquate Signage.

All information will be disclosed at the next appeal stage.

Regards

You've challenged them so you wait for the response from them. They have 14 days to acknowledge the challenge, and 35 days to accept or reject it.

Thanks stroma for the heads up

Guys_Dad

I see no point in refusing to give them this information, even if already supplied, with one exception. I would say "the keeper is...." and not who the motorist was.

I don't argue with stroma's approach, but I look at it this way.

Where do we see these guys off? POPLA

How do you get a POPLA appeal in? You get a POPLA Code from the PPC.

Why waste any time arguing with them before then or playing chicken with the timeframe leaving all of this hanging over your head when you can expedite things and get to the nitty gritty.

Incidentally, you didn't specifically ask for a POPLA Code and the PPC can argue that they are still dealing with your appeal process by coming back and asking for more details to deal with your appeal, so I definitely would NOT leave things at this stage.

Now that's just my approach. I am not saying anyone else's is wrong, but it's your call.

bazster

Careful G.D., this is neither a rejection nor a refusal to issue a POPLA code. It is simply an acknowledgment dressed up in an attempt to fool people into sending the driver's details. The OP need to nothing until the actual response is received.
