I'm stuck at what I need to send. I know this should be simple, but i have Dyslexia. so all this is going over my head.

Either will do ... depends which one you best-understand. Obviously make sure you change details to suit your own case ... e.g. UKPC not Highview. If you choose to use the latter one I'd suggest tweaks as follows:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Parking Charge Notice [xx]: Vehicle Registration [xx]

I refer to the above-detailed Parking Charge Notice (“PCN”) issued to me by {Put correct name for UKPC} (“UKPC”) as a Notice to Hirer. I confirm that as the hirer of this vehicle, I was its keeper for the purpose of the corresponding definition under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (“POFA”) and I write to formally challenge the validity of this PCN.

You will no doubt be familiar with the strict requirements of Schedule 4 of POFA to be followed in order for a parking operator to be able to invoke keeper liability for a Parking Charge. There are a number of reasons why UKPC’s Notice to Hirer did not comply with POFA; in order that you may understand why, I suggest that you carefully study the details of Paragraphs 13 and 14 of Schedule 4 in particular.

Given that UKPC has forfeited its right to keeper liability, please confirm that you shall now cancel this charge. Alternatively, should you choose to reject my challenge, please provide me with details of the Independent Appeals Service (POPLA), their contact details and a unique POPLA appeal reference so that I may escalate the matter to POPLA.

Thank you for your cooperation and I look forward to receiving your response within the relevant timescales specified under the British Parking Association Ltd Code of Practice.


Yours faithfully,

Give it a short while for one of the better-informed regulars to confirm ... no need to rush as long as you're within 28 days of the date on the Notice you received in your own name.

Thanks! I haven't sent anything yet

  letter date of 7/06/2021, so it's been 17 days.

Just submit that online, as the NEWBIES thread already tells you to do in hire car situations.  

DO NOT TICK 'DRIVER' (NOR AN OPTION SAYING 'I WAS THE DRIVER, AND...') ON THE APPEALS PAGE, OBVIOUSLY.
