UKCPM PCN - non-PoFA compliant?

money_avocado

Hi all,

I have received this PCN from UKCPM when I was delivering goods to a building in Basingstoke. I compared it specifically to UKCPM PoFA & non-PoFA letters here, and suspect it's more on the non-PoFA side? Am I therefore right to assume they cannot hold the registered keeper liable and it could be appealled with the paragraphs below? Thanks in advance.

Appeal:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally appeal against Parking Charge Notice (PCN) XXX, issued to my vehicle. As the registered keeper of the vehicle, I would like to address the points raised in your notice.

You have outlined your belief that the driver is liable for the parking charge and invited me, as the keeper, to either pay the charge or identify the driver. However, I must inform you that the vehicle is driven by multiple individuals, and I am not in a position to disclose the identity of the driver at the time of the alleged contravention.

Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention that your notice appears to be non-compliant with the mandatory requirements set forth in paragraph 14 of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA). As such, I believe that you are unable to pursue any liability against me as the registered keeper.

Given these circumstances, I respectfully request that you cancel the parking charge. Please provide me with written confirmation that this charge has been revoked at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

UKCPM PCN:

It is non-POFA because the penultimate paragraph only claims to ever be able to pursue the DRIVER.

No idea why they've used that version!

I would even try an IAS appeal on that basis. UKCPM might offer no contest.

Thanks! I will try my paragraphs with CPM, see how it goes and report back.

* It should be paragraph "9" instead of "14" of Schedule 4 in my appeal.

Yes and i's get rid of all this which sounds like a polite AI bot added it!

"at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,"
