Phishing for driver details

Did they stick to POFA or fail POFA ?

If they stuck to it , they can Keep after the keeper , regardless of who was driving

If you do nothing , they will cancel or issue a popla code

Con1750

Pofa is stated on the back of the PCN and it also did arrive within the 28 day period.

Just ignore until POPLA at this stage then?

Erm, there IS NO 28 day period!

Its either 14 days (no NtD, para 9 of POFA, go read it) OR 29-56 days (para 8, ditto)

So which was it>

Their signs leave much to be desired and several Judges have thrown cases out of court for that reason, read this.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and has been known to get the charge cancelled.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.[/FONT][/FONT]

the NTK should have arrived by day 15 for POFA to apply (nothing to do with the reduced charge time) , nothing to do with 28 days either, it's 14 days , not 28 days

They should issue a popla code in due course

Con1750

Thank you for the responses so far. Apologies I dont have the PCN with me currently so cant double check the dates etc.

I have read the POFA legalisation, so will come back with the info later on.

If I cant submit further info that shows they havent followed POFA shall I just simply ignore and wait for my POPLA code?

Many thanks

If you are appealing as keeper then wait for a popla code , regardless
