PCN POFA Compliant Check

Kuly

Hi - Been looking through the threads and see quite a few from CEL but it looks as if they have changed the NTK and just wanted to check with you guys to see if it is now actually compliant  and do I need to do things differently.

Thanks in advance.

That is compliant POFA wording on the back.

Which location? Complain to the landowner.

Can't tell without seeing the date the NtK was issued. Have you covered it up?  If the dates fit with PoFA requirements, the NtK does contain the necessary PoFA warning on the reverse side under 'Payment Options' and is as near enough PoFA-compliant to satisfy POPLA or a court. Not the ideal place to place the warning, but PoFA does not prescribe where it should be positioned in the NtK.

Thanks - Issue date was 25/07/2023. So other than complain to the landlord, there is no defence? Registered keeper is disabled and no signs saying applies to disabled persons, indeed, no disabled spots in car park either.

Wow!! That's a giant leap, from 'compliant NtK' to 'no Defence' isn't it?

Definitely complain to the landowner (landlord - is this a pub/hotel?). Why do you think there is no defence?

Registered keeper is disabled and no signs saying applies to disabled persons, indeed, no disabled spots in car park either. 

Not sure what your angle is on the disabled front. Can you elucidate to see if there is something that might help?

Errrr...no-one said that and no-one EVER tells posters here to pay CEL!

Not being able to win on a technicality by using the self-serving POPLA system (i.e. there is no appeal worth trying) is not the same as saying "there's no defence"!
