Pcn from UKPC

Ah I thought this was a hired/lease car and the PCN arrived by post, no?

If not, then that will arrive in just over a month with the lease firm and he needs to make sure they reply and tell UKPC his correct name and address as HIRER/LESSEE (not driver).  Then he should receive his own notice.

The only danger here is someone at the lease firm paying it, so I hope he put his instructions in writing snd not by phone.

Sorry if I haven’t been very clear. 

The vehicle is a leased one , leased by the company the driver does work for (not an employee of that company) the PCN was attached to the windshield.

So how can he be 100% confident that someone at the lease firm has his correct address and will supply it and not just pay it, despite him asking?

The lease firm have been instructed not to pay the PCN by the driver but only by phone ( I will ask the driver to email the same instructions) the driver has also informed the hirer of the vehicle about the PCN , what are best instructions for the driver to give to the hirer ( this is who the drive does work through ) ?

The lease company will not have the drivers address and am guessing they will forward the claim to the hirer, the hirer will then I assume contact the alleged driver. 

So should the plan of action by the driver be : Contact the leasing company by mail and ask them not to pay any money to the PPC and forward any correspondence to the hirer. 

Ask the hirer not to reveal the driver but send the correspondence to him.

No, the keeper MUST name the hirer to the parking firm, to transfer liability.  They can't only hand the PCN over or the lease firm is never out of the equation.

Once the liability has been passed to the hirer should the hirer then pass the documents received onto the driver but without revealing their identity

Yes, if the employer company is happy that he handles the appeal to UKPC and then POPLA, which if he follows the appeal that the NEWBIES thread already specially provides (courtesy of @Edna_Basher) for hire/lease/company cars, the hirer company would win.

Ok thanks 
I will ask the driver to also write to their local MP on these issues.

It would be better if the day-to-day keeper did all the legwork rather than the driver.
