Another UKCPS No stopping charge at Leeds station - they even missed the 14 day PofA timescales

Evening all,

Another victim of a UKCPS No stopping charge at Leeds station here.  I've submitted my appeal, which felt strong given that the notice landed outside of the PofA timescales.  Timeline copied from my appeal below:

The alleged event occurred on 27 August 2025.

The NTK was dated 9 September 2025 (day 13).

The Claimant states the notice is “deemed served” on 11 September 2025 (day 15).

The NTK was actually received on 12 September 2025 (day 16).

A fairly generic rejection letter was received, including the line "while you have stated that you were not the driver at the time of the event and that you do not intend to disclose the driver’s details, please note that if we do not know both the name and current address of the driver, we may
recover the outstanding balance from you, the Registered Keeper, on the assumption
that you were the driver." 

I can't imagine that an assumption as to who was driving would stand up well in court.

I have to say I didn't give the appeal rejection much attention after I initially read it when it landed on the 2nd of October, as we're renovating our house.  

What are the best next steps here, as I've now missed the IAS deadline, which, from what I've read, is a sham anyway?

Ignore and forget, or should I take another approach?

Thanks in advance, all,

Ben

    Ignore until/unless you receive a Letter Of/Before Claim from the PPC's solicitors, or a County Court Claim via the Northampton CNBC, come back to this thread for further advice. To get ahead of the curve, you could prepare yourself with a bit of gentle reading of the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, second post, and the Template Defence Announcement, both situated near the top of the forum thread list. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Thanks buddy. I’d done some reading on previous threads but I’ll pick those up now.
