Parking Eye - Time Limit for NtK

Receipts will definitely help. PE tend to cancel charges when receipts are produced. £30 appears to be the threshold.

A Letter Before County Court Claim is definitely a notification that PE intend to pursue this further. Look for those receipts.

OK Ive read your OP , 17 minutes .

Dear Parking Eye
Re PCN xxxx

I am the registered keeper of vehicle xxxx and have received your Letter Before Action of xx/xx/xx of which this is my acknowledgment .
The driver was a genuine customer and can provide evidence of purchases made demonstraring that rhe car park was used for the purpose intended to the benefit of the retailers .

I wish to challenge this charge . The vehicle was not parked for longer than the authorised period of free parking . Your timings which are recorded at an arbitrary position of which the driver was unaware do not accurately reflect the time for which the vehicle was parked but simply the possible time that the vehicle entered and left the car park.
Consequently the Notice to Keeper was not compliant with schedule 4 of POFA to invoke keeper liability because it does not contain the required notification of the period of parking .

If you do not accept my challenge I would assert that we should utilise services of POPLA , an industry specific method of ADR. This will control costs for all parties and also take advantage of a service that fully understands all the issues . Consequently I invite you to issue a POPLA code if you reject my challenge , as you are required to by your trade association Code of Practice . There is no reason for you to refuse this on the basis that your unilaterally imposed timescale for appeals has been exceeded .

Alternatively you can cancel the charge .

I expect a reply to this acknowledgment within 14 days and will then provide my formal reply as required by the Practice Direction on pre action conduct . I would also remind you of your responsibilities under this

Yours

I'm afraid you are wrong . You are confusing Notice to Keeoer with a letter advising of Keeper liability

And I see you've edited your post , good that prevents confusion .

I realise I'd erred as soon as I posted. Changed it more or less straight away but guess you were too quick for me!
