Used template appeal. Received request for driver details again

JOnathan2018

Hi all,
 Recently i used one of the templates specific to leased cars listed on the newbies section. I have since had a reply from the company as follows:

 We write to acknowledge receipt of your recent online appeal, on behalf of the driver, appealing against the issuing of a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) to the vehicle.

 

We note your comments and must refer you to the Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) 2012, Schedule 4 - Recovery of unpaid Parking Charges. This is available to view online at:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/9/schedule/4

 

We now therefore request that the details of the driver of the vehicle at the time of the contravention are supplied; this must include their full name and serviceable postal address.  If you are unwilling or unable to provide these details the hirer of this vehicle will remain liable for this PCN.  This information should be provided by xxxx.  Please note, Premier Park Limited will not reply to any correspondence until after the above date, if the requested information is not provided.

                                         

If we do not receive this information by the date given, the hirer of the vehicle at the date of event will be held liable.

 

If you would like to view our photographic evidence, please visit xxxx

 

Please respond by return or by filling in the Transfer of Liability form on the reverse of the PCN and posting it to Premier Park, xxxxxxxxx

Could you suggest a best course of action here?

Many thanks

Ignore that request and wait patiently for your appeal refusal and a PoPLA code.


Any feedback to your earlier thread? Questions were asked there but never answered.
What happened?

Coupon-mad

AND - get ANGRY and GET EVEN about this scam! 

Please now make a real difference because not enough people have::

A TASK FOR SEPTEMBER:

The Government is (this month only) consulting about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework to rein in the rogue parking firms.  Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation, and get everyone you know to do the same.

You will need to register to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker, but otherwise it is easy to navigate, and comment upon each section/subsection individually. You can save comments to edit later and or submit comments once you are happy with them.

You do not need to register to comment on the enforcement framework which can be found here. It has a link on page 5 to make comments.

At the very least, we say the parking charge level should be £50/£25 or higher level £70/£35, as per Council PCNs in E&W.  

And we say the added fake 'debt recovery' costs are just double counting the cost of letters and MUST GO.  Remove that layer and you remove the ‘drivers’ behind the race to court.

HOW TO DO THE SUBMISSIONS:

Responses into the PAS 232 and MHCLG framework documents are not completely straightforward:

On the MHCLG response, you have to answer the questions on a 1-5 scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree, and then put some commentary. No way to upload documents or alternatives.

 

On the PAS 232, you have to click on each clause and sub-clause to put your comments, and a suggested rewording of their draft.  You can see comments which other people have written! 

 

But, when you click ‘submit’, a message pops up to say your comments have been received, but that only applies to the particular clause you have just addressed.

 

You have to click ‘submit’ separately for each individual clause response.

 

Some people will be caught out by this but can revisit it and add further responses up to 12 October.
