Pointing out non-compliance with POFA

I was just wondering about embellishing the excellent template letter in the sticky by pointing out invalidities in the NtK.
Basically, does it have to specify whether a notice to driver (windscreen ticket) has been issued or not - hence indicate which of paragraphs 8 or 9 I can nail them to?
Basically a 'friend' :) allegedly drove my car into a private car park and I happened upon it later and found a windscreen ticket there. I haven't had an NtK yet. But how would I know whether there's been a windscreen ticket or not (therefore which of paragraph 8 or 9 to use) if I ostensibly wasn't the driver?

The 'parkingcowboys' site suggests the NtK must "State whether a notice to the driver was given either to the driver or placed on the vehicle" -but i can't find that clause in the POFA.

Probably jumping the gun a bit and should wait for the NtK but just researcing really.

Thanks for all the excellent info.

    Yes it will say the fact that a PCN was served if that was the case. It IS in Schedule 4:

    8 (c)state that a notice to driver relating to the specified period of parking has been given and repeat the information in that notice as required by paragraph
