CPM Parking Charge Notice - para 3 - Reason for PCN - "Vehicle Not Registered"

Bullies_Beware2

Apparently CPM normally enter "parked without authorisation" or an equivalent wording to complete this sentence.

I have received a notice that says "Vehicle Not Registered" As above.

Quite what the registration status of the vehicle or lack of it has to do with CPM escapes me, and if it was not registered, how have DVLA been able to advise them of the RK identity.

Does the forum think this is an unortunate word processing mistake sufficient to indicate that no material claim exists sufficent to defeat these parasites??

Nothing invalidates a private PCN , it's just an invoice

What they are saying is the vehicle should have been registered to park ( permitted , possibly by a permit system ) but wasn't , same meaning as parked without authorisation

Nothing to do with being the RK or not

The newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum in announcements explains what to do etc

It a Judge who will determine that. 

Was the vehicle supposed to 'register' at the parking location - like on a tablet keypad or a PDT machine?

I believe it means, the vehicle was not registered with the PPC/landowner/agent to park at the location in question. In other words, its about permission to park at the site.

It is nothing to do with the vehicle being registered with the DVLA.

No, it is of no use in a defence.

If you have a PCN and need help, please give us more details.

My wife uses my car and have been parking at work place for years. UKPC have provided her with a permit. Names of permenant staff and reg no. were provided to UKPC to obtain the permit. In Aug my wife left the permit on the center consol after cleaning the car and so was not displayed on the dashboard. UKPC got my name from DVLA and sent me £100 charge. Unfortunately, I was away and only saw it when I got back, so it was over 28 days before I/we could respond. I passed the notice to my wife who wrote to UKPC with a copy of the permit.

UKPC have not transfered the fine to my wife are persuing the claim against me because I did not inform them of the driver's name/address within 28 days. They are saying:

"Please be advised we have reviewed the parking charge and confirm it has been issued correctly for not displaying a permit. We have also checked our systems and this registration is not registered for this site."

Can they still claim agaist me the keeper of the car? Doesn't applying for a permit and issuingng a permit means UKPC should have had the details of the driver, in this case my wife? Can this be a defence in case this goes to court, which it will as I had letters from ZZPS and now GCTT.
