    ParkingEye is sometimes used (incorrectly) to mean ANPR.

    Thanks to you all - I have advised my hubby's office manager to email Britannia and to name him as the driver - he has received the standard automatic reply from them. I will update once I know/receive anything more. 

    @D_P_Dance I have not complained to my MP, no. Do you think I should?
    NO! Hubby's office should advice the PPC that he was the hirer/lessee/day-to-day keeper. The Driver is not involved and their identity should not be revealed under any circumstances.

    Could you please also explain what ParkingEye have got to do with a Britannia parking charge?
    Please read Coupon-mad advise above, specifically 'However, if the letter is being addressed to his workplace and not the driver, the workplace must transfer liability, simply by emailing Britannia and telling them the name and address of the driver (postal address)' - which I have done.

    Nope , name and address of the hirer , not driver

    The manager is not a witness to who was driving the vehicle , they were not present , just who was the keeper on the day , so hirer or lessee , not driver

    It's important you all understand this

    Well if he was not the driver on the day he deals with it as hirer or lessee

    I suggested naming the driver to remove the workplace from the equation, to give certainty.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I know, but I was hoping it would prompt the OP to work it out for themselves.
    I married my cousin. I had to...
    I don't have a sister. :D

  • I suggested naming the driver to remove the workplace from the equation, to give certainty.
    Do the facts of this case (as presented thus far) mean that driver/day-to-day keeper distinction carry little difference in weight? (I think that's the point the others were trying to get across - the company naming the OP's OH as driver potentially scuppers an appeal/defence point).
  • The company cannot name the driver. They can make a guess, but that's all it is. A guess 
    what they put is mostly irrelevant legally
