    Doesn't the 5 minute grace period apply to over-stays, rather than being there for 5 minutes at all?

    On the IPC website , download it , use a pdf reader , read section 13

    There are 2 UKPS listed , ensure that you deal with the correct company

    That is their trade body code of practice , so you could use it against them in any appeal if they failed to comply with their own IPC CoP

    But as a non driving keeper , POFA is a law and so is better if they failed to comply with it

    Thank u for directing me to this, so useful! what i doubt understand is if they have to comply with this code of practice why does the parking company state 5 mins?

    also, don’t know what i should use in my appeal the grace period or the fact that the registered driver wasn’t driving? which one is likely to get me off from paying

    You may find that no appeal works

    POFA is your best defence , I already told you that

    Or name the driver , I already told you that to

    The code of practice ( and POFA ) can feature in any appeal , I told you that too

    Frankly , I am now repeating myself so will not reply any further !

    It is not a fine.
    Naming the driver throws them under the tram if the PPC have not complied with the PoFA. If you don't like the driver, or the keeper is not up to dealing with this, then you may wish to sacrifice them. That is entirely up to you.
    You can name the driver any time before court proceedings start, which could be any time within six years of the alleged event (five in Scotland).

    Plan A is a complaint in writing to the landowner
    Plan B is an appeal using the template in blue text from the NEWBIES Announcement. If the NTK was non PoFA compliant then add a one liner to that effect.
    If the car left within the allowed five minute grace period, then add a one liner to that effect.

    Thanks for reply.

    I read oj one of the templates that the registered car owner does not have to name the driver. is this the case? 

    Do all PPC have to comply with POFA or not? I sifted through newbie post and i couldn’t find how to confirm. this is ukps based in leamington. 

    Landowner complaint idk if possible, they’re currently closed.
