    Hi,


    I got another letter from UKPC. Still no POPLA verification code.
    I should just ignore this or?

    They are telling lies. In that letter it says that the keeper should inform UKPC of the name and address of the driver. This is not correct. They may invite the keeper to tell them the driver's name, but nothing in POFA 2012 says that the keeper has to do this.


    You should make a very robust complaint to the BPA and DVLA that UKPC have failed to provide you with a PoPLA code, and have deliberately misquoted Paragraph 9 section 4 of the Protection of Freedom Act 2012 to imply that a keeper must provide the name and address of the driver. This is a blatant lie
    UKPC have previously been caught fraudulently doctoring time stamps on PCNs and this is yet another instance of UKPC's deliberate attempt to flout the law. What are the BPA and DVLA going to do about it?


    Local and national press and your MP should be made aware of this. The Parking-Prankster may also be interested as well.


    Do not reply to this letter, but please do write letters of complaint.

    I agree with fruitcake, a very robust complaint. You should also write to your local Trading Standards Office, (avoiding Consumer Direct), alleging that they are attempting to obtain money by fraud, not only is naming the driver discretionary, but the have also totally misrepresented the HC decision.


    Copy UKPC in on all of your letters, make them aware that you are no lightweight, make them sweat.

    Everyone is right about UKPC

    You must report this fraudulent bag of dung to the DVLA and Trading Standards. I suspect the BPA has wads of complaints about UKPC but they currently are as useless as an ice cream in the sun

    Wow they are desperate! Ignore and wait is what I would do.

    The BPA won't care as they'll see this as a reasonable question...and equally, you are reasonable and within every right not to name the driver!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    What research have you undertaken in the period since your last post here on 21/03/16? Have you looked at previous POPLA cases in the POPLA Decisions sticky? Have you read the newbies sticky, post #3 yet?

    Hi,


    I was planning to appeal base on:
    1. No keeper liability
    2. grace period


    I did not unclose the driver and fine was charge within 5min.

    What about 'Signage', 'No landowner authority to manage the car park', 'No authority to issue Parking Charges', 'No authority to pursue charges in their own name'?
