Parking appeal - Britannia

bmas

Hello,

Hoping to get some help, I received this last month on the 23rd of Sept from britannia parking - parked but didn't realise there was a limit. I am customer of waitrose but when I looked at my records I dont see that I went in there that day as there are other shops around it I went into.

I responded following the rules on the forum with this

I am appealing this Parking Charge Notice as the registered keeper of the vehicle.
The alleged parking event occurred on 14 August 2026. No Notice to Driver was affixed to the vehicle or otherwise given at the time.
The first notice received was the postal Notice to Keeper dated 16 September 2026.
As no Notice to Driver was given, paragraph 9 of Schedule 4 to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 applies. The Notice to Keeper was not delivered within the relevant period specified by paragraph 9(4).
Accordingly, the statutory requirements necessary to transfer liability from the driver to the registered keeper have not been met.
I am appealing solely as the registered keeper and I am not identifying the driver.
Please cancel the Parking Charge Notice. If this appeal is rejected, please provide the appropriate POPLA verification code so that I may refer the matter to POPLA.

Got an email response to my appeal and not sure how to proceed particularly with their insurance point.

Thanks

Ignore them, they are phishing for drivers details

The insurance aspect is completely irrelevant, it could have been me, or a police person, or a garage driver, there are probably millions of people in the UK with valid insurance who could drive the vehicle, so revealing an insurance policy document DOES NOT REVEAL who could have been driving

Its totally misleading

Ps, most or all private parking areas have limits, especially Supermarkets and Retail Parks, so its clearly the case that the driver didn't bother to check the signage onsite

Thank you so much to the quick response -so I should not respond to their last message? No acknowledgement?

That's correct, ignore means ignore, no communication, wait for their decision in a couple of weeks

Meanwhile, the driver should have a word with themselves as to why they don't read signs when parking !
