UKPC - Parking Charge Leeds

ynlos76

Dear all.

A Parking Charge was sent by UKPC to me due to my car being parked on the 29.05.2017 at Crown Point Shopping Park in Leeds.

To explain in more detail Together with the family we were shopping at Crown Point so we spent a bit more time than normal, when we got back to the car we received a penalty charge for overtime.

After checking your website and the newbies forum, I finally make an appeal to UKPC using one of the formats which I found on your website.I also tried contacting the manager of Crown Point to cancel the fine but they did not answer me yet.
Now I got another letter from them to ask me who was the driver at the date of accident (copy letter attached below ).They have not provided me with any POPLA number.I am very confused and have started to feel a bit at unease.
Should I tell them who was the driver? or not respond and wait what will happen next.

Thanks for all the answers and help.

The Act also warns that if, at the end of the period of 28 days (beginning with the day after the Parking Charge is sent), the parking charge has not been paid in full and the operator does not know both the name and current
address of the driver, the operator has the right to recover any unpaid part of the parkinq charge from the
registered keeper. This warning is given under Paragraph 9(2)(for of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act

You never reveal who was driving.

In view of that edit your op to remove details of who was driving.

Ignore the letter and await your popla code

Thank you for all the replies guys.
In that case I will wait for the POPLA code and then I'll come back if I have other questions.
