    That's the point I'm trying to make - I don't disclose the driver information to the retail outlet either? I'm complaining as the keeper on their behalf.

    That's right don't disclose who the driver was to the retail outlet.
    Complain as keeper. ;)

    You as the keeper are not complaining on anyone else's behalf.

    The keeper complains as the keeper in his own interests - not on behalf of the driver or anyone else.

    You, as the keeper, don't disclose the driver's details to anyone.

    So, when they ask 'Who was driving?' what should the keeper say? Does the keeper just lie or say it's none of their business? I can't imagine the latter option will endear the outlet much towards helping them.

    Why on earth would they ask that?

    Have you no imagination?
    Can you think of no alternative to fibbing or saying 'none of your business'?

    You were the keeper, accompanying the driver on a shopping trip.

    You as the keeper have received a NtK and are asking the store to cancel the ticket due to you being a valuable customer.

    The driver's involvement finished on the day of the event.
    It is the keeper being chased for money. It is the keeper that needs the help of the store in cancelling the ticket.

    Do not lie. Just don't offer any more information than you need to.

    A retailer would NEVER ask who was driving!

    All you need to do is say 'we want to complain about this unfair PCN and we require you to cancel it because ...blah blah...we as a family will vote with our feet and never return....etc.'

    WE. Not 'I'.

    And I expect you must complain not to a shop but to the retail park managing agents or landowner (Google the place).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    So I've spoke to the retail outlet and they were no help whatsoever. Told me I had to complain directly to the PPC. Said there's nothing they could do. Absolutely fuming.

    This company is a known scammer and fraudster. Instead of paying them, make them pay to defend their claim. Were they daft enough to take this to court, you may be able to make them pay you. by counter claiming for harassment, and wasting your time. You are in the driving seat here, UKPC are a busted flush

    What did you say? what retail park is it?

    who did you speak to?
