Thank you all so much for the information. I did not mean to suggest that the information on this forum was out of date - this is the first time I have used a MSE forum. I will let you know the outcome of my appeal.

You are not the first to wonder if the NEWBIES thread is up to date but it's not possible to re-start a sticky thread...I can only edit it. So it will always show the original date but with editing info too, when you look closely.

Same as any sticky thread on any forum. Would not be at the top if not relevant!

I've had a reply from Civil Enforcement.

They say there is no legal requirement to send out the PCN within 14 days as there is no reference to POFA on the ticket. I quoted the relevant Failure to Comply with Section 4 para 9.4 of the POFA to the letter.

They will not provide me with proof of the contract between them and the landowner due to the Data Protection Act. There is no car park at the address stated on the PCN and I have asked for proof that they have authority to manage the car park where my car was parked.

They want me to provide details of the driver within 7 days.

Any suggestions where I go from here?

Thanks.

and as they are not bothrering to comply with POFa , they can find the driver without your help,

await thier rejection in a few weeks with a POPLa code and kill em at POPLa

Yes, that is true, but you KNOW that already because the NEWBIES thread tells you that PPCs do not 'have to' use the POFA.

The point is because they have chosen not to, they can only hold a driver liable. Soooo, can you now see why they've sent that desperate letter?!

Ignore it and wait for your POPLA code or cancellation.

Hi Guys,

I appealed to POPLA following advice given on this thread and am pleased to say that my Appeal has been successful!

I appealed on two points:
a) The address given on the PCN was not the address where the car was parked.
b) Failure to Comply with Section 4 para 9.4 of the POFA

Civil Enforcement informed POPLA that they do not wish to contest the Appeal so my appeal was successful.

Thanks for all your advice and guidance on this matter.
