Appeal Letter

aftershockbm

The wind blew a paid for parking ticket on to a car seat which was face up and visible. The Driver of the car appealed their £60 now £100 later invoice. The ticket belongs to the driver, which was not disclosed. They received a letter back after appealing. It says in order to process the appeal then needed their name. Should they give their name. It also says they need it within 28 days or they could incur more charges & then can get it off DVLA anyway.

They used the std appeal letter from the site.

Any advice on what to do.

They need the name and address of The Keeper so you should send it to them with the keeper appeal. Don't miss the appeal deadline. Do not reveal the driver's identity, not even on here. You should edit your post to remove information about who the ticket belonged to. It belonged to The Driver.

Have you read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES yet? This is your starting point for all things private parking.

Please tell us the name of the parking company.

They need the full name of the Driver so you should send it to them with the appeal. Don't miss the appeal deadline. Do not reveal the driver's identity, not even on here.

So the driver name was not sent, but an address was included in the appeal letter. They are asking for driver's full name.

do not reveal who was driving, that is a no-no

avoid giving them that info

if the appeal has already been made, ignore this demand to know the drivers details

Thanks

But they say on the letter they can find out after 28 days under 27(1)(e) from DVLA 'reasonable cause'

Do I just wait?

Redx

they cannot find out the details of the driver, only the keeper, which is how it needs to be

so yes, just wait

Does the DVLA know who was driving then?

Does the DVLA know who was driving then?

No. Only who the car is registered to.

Ah... thanks.

I was worried for a moment.

Update

The company have applied to the DVLA to get registered keeper details. The leasing company have now given them my name. I have been contacted to make payment. The car can be driven by more that one person and payment needs to be made in my name.

Thoughts?
