I received a parking charge notice from Horizon re parking in a Tesco car park, I have just sent the appeal by email.


Update

Its now been cancelled.

I sent the following,

"I appeal as keeper.  I am not obliged to identify the driver and I decline to do so.

The operator can only pursue the keeper by complying with the strict requirements set out in Schedule 4 to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (‘POFA’). Paragraph 9.(2) (f) states that a notice to keeper "must ...: warn the keeper that if, at the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to keeper is given—

(i) the amount of the unpaid parking charges … has not been paid in full, and

(ii) the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver,

...the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid."

The PCN does not comply with POFA because it states the 28 day period wrong by one day. This is fatal to your case. Cancel the 'PCN' or cough up a POPLA Code if you want to put yourselves to that time & expense.."
