Fighting a PCN when a lease company is the registered keeper

usedtobefaster

Hi All,

I've had a reply back from BPA about Highview not accepting my appeal. It reads as follows;

"I have investigated your complaint and can advise as follows.

The operator has asked you for further clarification as to who you are because you have not identified yourself as the driver and you are not listed as the keeper or the hirer of the vehicle. The operator wrote to the hire company and your name was not listed as the hirer.

Therefore, in order for the operator to give proper consideration to your appeal you do need to clarify this point to them. I have advised the operator to write you a further letter to explain what they require to process your appeal and in order for your appeal to be processed, we suggest you provide them with as much information as possible.

There is no breach of our Code of Practice here and therefore we must close the investigation.

Please liaise directly with Highview Parking in order to get your appeal heard."




So I'm now expecting contact from Highview Parking again.


What is the correct terminology (legal jargon) I need to use to describe me as the regular driver of the car, and what if I simply state I'm the day-to-day driver of the car will this affect my case?


I'm beginning to wonder if this is worth the hassle!

Just to close this thread off.

Eventually I won my case against the PCN through POPLA and used Private Parking Appeals Ltd to deal with this which was well worth the £18 cost considering the evidence pack from Highview Parking that had to be waded through.

I won on the grounds that Highview Parking didn't show evidence of the landowners authority.
