Britannia Parking Popla Appeal Comments Stage- Keeper Liability

e2323

Hello, I appealed to Britannia about a PCN issued to my vehicle as registered keeper. No NTK was ever received and I explicitly said in my appeal to them and subsequent appeal to POPLA that I was NOT the driver and was appealing as Keeper. Today I received a response to my POPLA appeal from Britannia and I have 7 days to give comments, they disputed my claims about signage and at the bottom of the letter said this:

We received an appeal on *** from appellant who admitted they are keeper of the vehicle.
The appeal was processed and rejected as the pictures taken clearly show that no valid ticket was on display between **** !!!8211; ****. We responded on **** advising this PCN was issued
correctly.

Britannia Parking have only issued a Notice to Driver, which was affixed to the vehicle. The details of the KADOE have yet to have been obtained from the DVLA!!!8217;s records. The only parties aware of this PCN are the driver of the vehicle as the keeper has yet to be officially informed. However, Britannia Parking is certain the keeper would be aware of all individuals with access to their vehicle for insurance purposes.
We have therefore identified the appellant to be the keeper and driver of the vehicle and liable for the Parking charge notice. The appellant has supplied us with the home address in the appeal letter, and we therefore find them to be liable for the parking charge notice.

I'm slightly confused as to why they are saying they have identified myself to be the keeper and the driver as I have only stated I was the keeper -is this a standard response from Britannia and will POPLA discredit this? As an NTK was never served, not even after the 56 days, I was confident about my appeal but the part about proving me to be keeper and driver has thrown me! What is their point about me giving my address?! Is it worth replying in the 7 days or shall I just leave it for POPLA to decide now? I was thinking about saying something along the lines of this if I replied:

As Britannia have confirmed in their letter, a Notice to Keeper was never served. I have appealed as registered keeper of the vehicle and as said in my appeal to Britannia and subsequent appeal to POPLA I was NOT the driver. I am appealing on behalf of the driver as I am entitled to do so as the registered keeper of the vehicle. Britannia have failed to prove I was the driver and as no Notice to Keeper was served I am not liable to pay this parking charge.

What do you think?

Why are you not appealing as the Registered Keeper?

I fear that appealing on behalf or the driver will be your downfall.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take that part out. As keeper I am entitled though to appeal for someone who was driving my vehicle? Do you think there's anything else that I should put? Thank for the fast reply, really appreciate it.
