    That occurred to me too!  It makes no sense.
    Sit tight and await your POPLA code or cancellation. 
    Highview often cancel and if not, just proceed to POPLA as registered keeper and Highview will fold.
    Thank you so much for your time and advice :)

    Without Prejudice

    I am writing to formally challenge the above Charge Notice on the basis that I was not served the Notice to Keeper within the legal timeframe of 14 days, possibly because it was not served to my correct address

    Why 'Without Prejudice'?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    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 in some cases, cancellation. 

    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,

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many 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.

    Exactly.  No-one should be adding that!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I won a case against Highview - it wasn’t an easy win for me as it was before I landed in this forum.  I paid the PCN and sued for the money back when I realised it was a scam - very satisfying and Mr Ian Langdon was not happy.
