ParkingEye fine for a scrapped vehicle

wild_thing

Hello all!

Before anything else, I did read the newbies section, took me a while but I went through it. I also searched for a thread with a similar problem, but haven't found one.

I have received a reminder via post (no windscreen ticket) from Parking Eye and appealed on a technicality (no NTK, the first letter ever to arrive was a reminder 3.5 weeks after the alleged incident on 17.09.). Of course they rejected it and gave me a POPLA reference number.

Now, before I write an appeal to POPLA, I want to ask some things:
1) I never received the NTK, just a reminder and when I appealed I refused to name the driver - is there any way of proving that I haven't received anything before the reminder?
2) Less than a week after 17.09. I was in a car crash and my car has been scrapped by the Essex police - Considering the car doesn't exist anymore (need to inform DVLA, haven't done it yet because I listen to my husband who said they will be informed but gov page says I need to send a part from the log book or smth) can I still be held accountable for a notice where the driver is not named?

I also noticed on the newbie post something about the golden ticket, as in POPLA not being mentioned on the back of the reminder. I believe I haven't seen it on mine, but am not 100% and will have to check when I get home (typing this from work as usually have no time when home). Is that a point I should mention when appealing?

Appreciate any help or advice you can give. Let me know if you need any more info

The fact that the vehicle has been scrapped since the alleged incident is irrelevant.

1) nope, all they have to do is prove they posted it , it is deemed "arrived" 2 days later

2) irrelevant , as it was NOT SCRAPPED on the day of the incident

I believe you mean the POFA (not POPLA) paragraph was absent, in which case , GOOD , golden ticket

you should have used this appeal I rewrote recently , removing the clause #13 grace periods part

appeal on their website , choosing KEEPER in the drop down menu

BUT , as you now have a popla code, construct a popla appeal based on the usual suspects from post #3 of the NEWBIES sticky thread

include POFA2012 failure , yes
no landowner contract
poor and inadequate signage
not the same as beavis
any BPA CoP failures

and anything else

First paragraph of post one in the Newbies Sticky outlines your situation completely...?

There is a date on the reminder, 28th September which I assume should be the posted date of NTK, adding 2 more days for "delivery" it gets to 15 days later

And I just checked, no POFA mentioned anywhere

Riverside Chelmsford, I believe it's the one from ParkingEye vs. Beavis

As per the title of the thread, my main question was the scrapped part, as technically I am no longer the registered keeper. I did not see that bit anywhere and I just went back and used the find option on the Newbie thread. If it is in fact mentioned somewhere, please post it as I really did not see it anywhere

Oddly enough not NOW being the RK is irrelevant.
Its who was RK at the time that is the starting point, as RK is presumed Keeper unless shown otherwise.

Otherwise if you got flashed by a speed camera you could sell your car before the notice comes through....

This is where it is mentioned, in the first few lines of post 1.


''I have read the NEWBIES thread but cannot find anything specific to my case...my case is different''.

NO IT ISN'T. AND YOU DO NOT NEED SPECIFICS - FORGET THE DETAIL, THESE CASES ARE ALL THE SAME.

You are being told the bit about the car being scrapped is covered in the first part of the NEWBIES because it tells you your case is the same as everyone else's, which it is.
