    Haha I was just trying to tailor the template on the Newbie thread. This is way better Coupon-mad (despite the fact I don't understand bits of it but will google!!)

    As for time spent - hours and hours so far reading this forum! As for LIP...well I already did this in divorce court last year. This would be a walk in the park in comparison :)

    Hmmm just noticed that the PCN states that ".....we may pursue the Registered Keeper for any Parking Charge amount that remains outstanding on the assumption that they were the driver". Can they do that? I thought I read somewhere that they can now?

    On the pepipoo link the BW legal letter made no mention of holding the registered keeper liable for the charge.

    If your after the landowner of a retail park, you may need to do a little digging...

    Ummmmm POFA takes a bit of reading .....difficult to know what is fully complying. To my untrained eye it seems they have.

    They didn't use the exact POFA wording? Just that as stated in my last post saying they may pursue me as the registered keeper

    Well done for finding that Half_way. The manager in B&M gave me an email address for GBR Phoenix Beard as being the car park owners ( they contact them when they have a problem in the car park) However as they just employ VCS to manage the site, with the use of PCNs to pay for this, I see no point in going to them. I would go to the retailers, but as they all seem to rent that is tricky too. I went into the Wilkinsons across from the retail park, but they have no interest in it and were unable to help.

    the company that contracted VCS is jointly liable, especially if it is the landowner , so its definitely worth pursuing the idiots that employ these par@sites

    Ah ok. I will also ask for confirmation of the landowner in my email.

    Wow they are as far away from POFA compliant as a NTK can get! Paragraph 9 was all you needed to read, you will see nothing on a VCS Notice to Keeper that is worded as per the '28 days keeper liability under the POFA' warning. Saying instead that a keeper might be pursued on the 'assumption' or 'as if' they were the driver is the exact opposite of what the POFA says.

    :)
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Following your thread with interest as I'm trying to do the exact same thing and find out who holds the contract with VCS. Did you have any joy with GBR Phoenix Beard?
