Timing of NtK for Lease car

rhepneil

Hi,

I have received an £85 PCN from Parking Eye (on basis of ANPR and a 24-minute overstay in a free car park). Date issued is 17/05/2014 for the parking event dated 28/05/2014. PE procured my details from the leasing company I have my car leased through who have also sent me a "Fines Recharge" notice of £12 in administration fees for processing the "Fixed Penalty Notice", including a copy of the original PCN from PE to them. I'll for sure be making a claim back for that!

I will use the templated letter on the posts here to appeal to PE but have also picked up from other posts that there is a 14-day time limit for PE to issue the PCN to the keeper. As I am the registered keeper, not the leasing company, and the date of notication of the parking event coming to me is more than 14-days does that automatically invalidate their claim? Or does their contacting the leasing company as the owner of the car count as being within the time period?

Thanks

If you are the registered keeper how did it go to the leasing company? If they go the dvla they get the details on file, so are you sure you have a V5 document with your name on it ?

Anyway just appeal as in the sticky thread by coupon mad, jus add your details to it and send via the post office with a free proof of postage, also send via their site.

Nope, but it's not a 'claim' anyway. It's a mere invoice impersonating a parking ticket.

Your queries are already covered in the NEWBIES thread including the fact that the 14 days being missed doesn't make a fake PCN 'invalid' as such, simply that you 'could' argue 'no keeper liability as the NTK wasn't received by you (the keeper) by day 15'.

To echo stroma ... if it is a lease car then the Leasing company is the Registered keeper, and You are the Usual keeper. It will be the Leasing company whose details are registered with DVLA.

Unless you yourself have the V5 document with YOUR name on it for THAT vehicle?

But yes ... kick up a stink with the leasing company - this was NOT a fine or penalty, and as such is almost certainly not covered within the leasing contract for allowing an admin fee to be added.
