Parking eye appeal

Beckie1406

Hi I'm a newbie

I followed Martin's guide on appealing a parking eye ticket. My husband was driving but I have failed to identify him as the driver as per the advice.
There was no barrier or information in the hotel he went to to advise of charges. He was there for 43 minutes and they want £60 in 14 days. He didn't see signs as it was dark.

They have written to say the appeal is on hold while they await more information and it looks like they want me to name the driver.

What should I do now?

Thanks in advance

First step - remove any references to who was driving and use "the keeper" and "the driver" where applicable..

Second step - spend some time read the various sticky threads in this forum, particularly the Newbies thread that answers your questions..

you SHOULD have followed the advice in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread at the top of this forum (not martins advice)

this is what you still need to be doing too, following that NEWBIES sticky thread , so start drafting your popla appeal (see post #3 of that thread) whilst awaiting a popla code

So should I write back saying I'm appealing as the keeper or do nothing and wait for the code?
Never fought one of these before

do nothing other than prepare a popla appeal

wait for code , appeal to popla

Looking at the sticky thread it appears I have the 'golden ticket' without the paragraph on the end.

Wish I'd seen this before I sent the letter.

The original paperwork says date of event 2/11
Issued 14/11 and we received on 17/11

Am I also right in thinking that they took too long to issue?

it is worth a try , yes

in theory it is deemed to take 2 days to deliver a letter , so depends when it was postmarked , so they either cut it close or failed

and if the POFA2012 paragraph is not there , they are not following POFA2012 so the keeper has no liability (a golden ticket)

Parking eye popla appeal. Heathrow t4
I've had a PCN from parking eye in November. They rejected the appeal but I have never named the driver. I don't think it has the pofa 2012 anywhere on the back and there was no barrier to indicate payment needed nor pay machine. It was also dark and the driver didn't see any signs or notification.

The alleged offence was on 2 November and they issued on 14 November but I didn't get till 17 November but envelope had no franking mark.

I can't see any similar posts and can't download the Dropbox attachment.

Any advice appreciated. Don't know if I should just pay up.

a letter posted on 14th nov , (tuesday) would be deemed to have been delivered by 16th (thursday) , providing they can show proof of posting using royal mail

1) Did they send you a POPLA code?
2) Heathrow is subject to its own Byelaws:-

Please double check, to be sure. On the back, the part about keeper liability would be in the middle.

It was also dark and the driver didn't see any signs or notification.

Fair enough, so appeal to POPLA (not implying who was driving) if you now have a POPLA code.

Don't know if I should just pay up.

Where do you see that advised here at all? Clue - you don't. No idea why on earth people ask that!

You appear to have a golden ticket with no POFA on the back (double check it) so you are about to win at POPLA with that, if you appeal as keeper and point out the PCN is non-POFA.

Just like you will have found on all the other golden ticket ParkingEye POPLA appeal threads. We hope you've been reading some already, if not, do an 'advanced' search for those words I put in bold, and change the default to 'show posts' (NOT threads).
