I suggest you re read the link I posted , someone will be along shortly to give you an email address of a party at the BPA / POPLa to appeal to

it has been clearly stated that a NON UK address is acceptable , if NCP do not not like this , then tuf , let them argue with the bpa

beamerguy

busybee .... this is rubbish and the AOS Investigation Team
speak with a forked tongue

POFA 2012 stipulates that a servicable address must be
given to transfer liability to the driver.

Nowhere does it say it must be in the UK
The servicable address must of course be real

It is tough luck that the operator will not accept a
foreign address. You have complied with POFA 2012

As pappa said, let NCP argue this out with the BPA

You have done your duty as per the law so best
to see if NCP are stupid enough to go further and if
they did, you would have a valid claim for costs
against NCP

I've read the link but in my case NCP has asked for an email address and not a UK address.

Firstly, they have the address for the keeper which they
got from the DVLA

Secondly you have provided the address of the driver

No point in complicating it further with an email address

Nothing in POFA about email addresses.

Either they contact the driver with the address
you have given or they cancel

Only two options open to them

That's what I thought but obviously NCP and BPA think differently. As you can read in my previous reply, BPA takes NCP's side and advises me to pay or go the legal way which I don't want.
Shall I write to BPA again??

Of course they think differently .... they want money

A letter to the BPA requesting where within POFA does
it say overseas addresses are not applicable ?
It's not there so their reply will be of interest

POFA 2012 is in many respects a mish mash.
Government relied on the BPA for advice but seemingly
never questioned the advice, hence it is a mish mash.

this is so obviously wrong.... so one course of action is to write to your MP , and explain how you are being hounded by this industry .....

inform him/her that there is a private members bill going though parliament to help stop such bad behaviour ....

as in the below ....

this is a copy of a post by Bargepole ....

"Some action at last:

http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2017-19/parkingcodeofpractice.html

This Private Member's Bill has Government and cross-party support, and stands a good chance of making it into statute.

The full text of the clauses will be published nearer the date of the second reading, but my sources tell me it's something we should support.

Now would be a good time to write to your MP urging them to support it."

good luck

I have also today received an email from TRACE Debt Recovery. Unfortunately they're not saying anything apart from referring to the attachment which is the letter from NCP to me requesting an email address for the driver as they are unable to send letters outside the uk.

This afternoon I sent a reply to BPA pointing out what I've been told on here that the The Protection of Freedoms Act. Schedule 4 Para 5(1)(b) refers only to an address at which documents can be served. It makes no mention that the address must be an email or a UK address.

Do I have to reply to the Debt Recovery and/or to NCP? I do not want to go to court etc

Redx

I would not reply to DRP or to TRACE RECOVERY either

its a case of who blinks first on this one

The POFA2012 makes no mention of the postal address having to be in the UK, nor of providing any email addresses either

you have discharged your liability so I would not bother with anything else other than an LBC or an MCOL in the post , initiaited by NCP or their solicitors

well done for contacting the BPA again, they dont know what they are talking about despite their own POPLA ruling on it some time ago

I would stand my ground , and let a judge decide if it were necessary

try emailing the BMPA and see if they are interested in helping out on this one

Together with DRP, Trace are just another bunch of
timewasters and you ignore them, timewasters with
100% no power .... just leeches trying to extort money

IGNORE DRP AND TRACE and other idiot debt
collectors who are clueless,

"letter from NCP to me requesting an email address for the driver as they are unable to send letters outside the uk."

Bunch of complete idiots, have they not heard of
the postal system .... the Post Office actually do
send post overseas ???

No email address available due to data protection

I hope you realise BusyBee1904 that you are dealing
with complete idiots here

As a tip here .... NCP know there is nothing they can
do. they are phishing for an email address to find out
who the ISP is, be it UK or Germany

But due to protection, the data protection act, and scams,
you are not a liberty to say
