Parking Eye Charge Notice
deschain
Posts: 2 Newbie
Hi everyone,
Having read through the Newbies post, I just want to make sure i'm on the right lines with regard to appealing a Parking Charge Notice from Parking Eye.
In short, I overstayed the allowed time limit at a car park. The vehicle is leased, so the leasing company received the PCN, they replied to Parking Eye on 11/05/2023 to give them my details as hirer. Yesterday (17/05/2023) I received a posted copy of the PCN only - no additional documents. Am I right in thinking there should have been other documents sent along with the PCN?
I'd planned on replying with the below letter from one of the newbie threads, but just want to check this is the right response and if I need to wait 21 days from when Parking Eye were informed I was the hirer of the vehicle.
Thanks so much for anyones help in advance!
Dear Sir,
Parking Charge Notice [0123456789]: Vehicle Registration [AA11ABC]
I refer to the above-detailed Parking Charge Notice (“PCN”) issued to me by Parkingeye Ltd (“Parkingeye”) as a Notice to Hirer. I confirm that as the hirer of this vehicle, I am 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 Parkingeye’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 Parkingeye 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,

Yep that's fine. Do not reply when they write asking who was driving. Await the final decision & POPLA code.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Do I need to wait the 21 days, or am I fine to start the appeal proceedings now?0
