    hi thankyou so much,

    I have studied that thread and the said post.

    So just to confirm before I proceed, I should complain seperately to the landowner (thankyou for the google info. I will look them up and find the patronage documenta you say? What should I say to them to complain about the company Regus?


    and secondly to appeal using Edna basher’s Template I should just appeal on the UKPC appeal link? And to confirm it’s the correct template:

    Dear Sir,

    Parking Charge Notice [0123456789]: Vehicle

    Registration [AA11ABC]

    I refer to the above-detailed Parking Charge

    Notice ("PCN") issued to me by Highview Parking Ltd ("Highview") as a Notice to Hirer. I confirm that as the hirer of this vehicle, 1 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 Highview'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 Highview 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….


    Also, Should I replace Highview in the template to UKPC or Regus?

    On the UKPC appeals page the only options in drop down menu for appealing as are: driver, Registered Keeper or Registered Keeper and driver.

    I am assuming I should select Registered keeper and carry on with the template explaining I am the Hirer?


    thankyou for your continued help

    Hi, thankyou for your guidance.
    I have submitted appeals for both charges, still have 2 days left for the 14 day appeal period. hope this works and it gets overturned.
    will keep you updated.

    Haven’t complained to the land owners as confused how to go about that without accepting responsibility as a driver.

    "still have 2 days left for the 14 day appeal period."

    There is no such deadline.

    You have 28 days to appeal and will not be paying a penny, regardless of outcome, so the arbitrary 14 day discount bribe timeline is irrelevant to you.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Obviously you would change the name of the parking company to the one involved, in your case, UKPC

    As for any complaint, the Royal We is sufficient, which fails to identify the driver, because you are complaining about it as the hirer
