UKCPS parking charge ignored for 2 months

Hi,
I have trawled through the forums trying to find info relating to UKCPS finding little bits here and there. Although i couldn't find much relating to ignoring the ticket for 2 months. Basically what happened was i was parked in a little car park behind a pub which had no pay and display machines. I left my car there on the basis that it was free (stupidly not checking the signs) and when i have returned i have had a ticket. I chose to ignore this and i received a NtK exactly a month after the ticket was issued. I have checked it as per the POFA 2012 legislation and it seems to check out. I also ignored this hoping they'd just go away but i recently received a notification letter exactly 27 days after the NtK basically telling me not to ignore and i have 14 days to reply. What should i do?
Thankyou.

  • Date of ticket is 22nd August. Date on letter is 22nd september. 2nd notification letter is dated 19th october.
  • I have posted this on behalf of a friend who has just informed me that when he came to his car he did not have a ticket but did receive a letter in the post a month after he had parked there. The letter claims a ticket was issued however this doesn't seem to be the case. Sorry for the confusion.

    Just get the keeper to send a short letter saying he is not liable because he does not believe that the POFA 2012 was followed, which would have required a Notice to Driver followed by a Notice to Keeper in accordance with para 8 of Schedule 4.

    How, without a windscreen NTD first?!

    DO NOT LET HIM WRITE ANYTHING THAT IMPLIES WHO WAS DRIVING! SO NOT 'WHEN I WENT BACK...I SAW NO PCN' NONONONO!!!

    Send him here to read the forum and NEWBIES thread, make sure he knows to appeal as registered keeper.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    On behalf of a friend?

    The opening post is full of I, I, I. Doesn't add up.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
