Just do what fruitcake said , nothing else , appealing as keeper to the PPC that issued the PCN

No blabbing about who was driving

Post #4 of the newbies thread tells people to ignore debt collectors

POFA is not mandatory , we wish it was , but it's not

Yes , add that statement to the blue text template

If the PPC has failed to meet the deadlines for issuing the PCN, does it matter that it is not mandatory?

Redx

POFA is a law that allows a PPC to chase a keeper for a PCN , even if they were not driving

If a PPC fails POFA , then they will have trouble making it stick against a keeper

A driver has no protection under POFA

So if nforce failed POFA , then as keeper they will struggle to hold liability against you

In other words , if they want to hold you the keeper as liable , they should have complied with POFA

Unfortunately , POFA via not mandatory , so they would have to prove that the keeper was the driver , hence why you do not reveal who was driving

Well put Redx. Fruitcake clarified and you've explained in laymans terms for me
I'm going to send the Blue Template with the mentioned amendment as Redx confirmed, Appealing as keeper to nForce that issued the PCN.


I'll update accordingly.

Many thanks to Fruitcake, monkeez, The Deep and Redx.

I think the confusion is thinking it's either Keeper Liability OR PoFA. It's simply non PoFA compliant. I should read up more on this.


You're surely pulling your hair out with me this thread but I do appreciate you time. I'm just find this more complicated than it really is.

I don't have any hair to pull out.

It is daunting at first, though it is actually quite simple once you get familiar with it. It took me a while to understand the PoFA requirements so don't worry too much.

The NEWBIES has a lot of information but it doesn't all need to be digested at once. You don't need to read anything about IPC members or the IAS in this case as these do not apply where BPA members are concerned.
You don't need to read anything about court, or hire/lease cars, or byelaws except where the car park was at a port, airport, or on railway land.

So, sift out what you don't need and thoroughly read the rest.
It's a good idea to write out or print off the abbreviations/acronyms in post 5 for reference as well.
