Do you have to pay to PCN?

Hello,

I recieved a Parking Charge Notice (Private) today, on the letter it says:

"....the driver of the motor vehicle is required to pay this parking charge in full. As we do not know the driver's name or current postal address, if you wre not the driver at the time, you should tell us the name and current postal address of the driver and pass this notice to them."

Am I obliged to declare the name/address of the driver, whomever s/he is, even if it was myself?

Thanks

Ticket got cancelled after I complained to the store

You need to read the newbies thread first - private company or council

Updated the post, it is private.

No, you are not 'obliged' to tell them who was driving. However, if they have fully complied with the PoFa 2012, they can pursue you as the 'keeper' to claim back monies owed.

So I can still be pursued being the keeper of the car in case they are unable to identify the driver?

If you read the newbies thread you will find the answer to this and many other questions.

I think I will just give up and pay the charge.

One final question, as this is the first time I get this kind of charge, the letter they sent me have picture of my number plates, both with white backgrounds, shouldn't there be one with yellow background to show that the vehicle was leaving the car park at that time?

By the way, the charge is for exceeding the time limit on the car park

Indeed there should. This castes a huge doubt on the validity of their claim, but, unless you are set on paying these scammers, read the stickies. In fact, read them anyway, you might like to join in the game we play.

So should I request a picture of the backside of my car's nubmer plate?

Do whatever you feel is necessary, but 3 times on this thread you have been asked to read the newbies thread, where all the answers to your questions will be found.

Choice 1. Pay them.
Choice 2. Don't pay them.

Entirely in your hands.

I read it, the letter I am suppost to send is to complain about the sign, but my case is different.
