Luton PCN
By: Leaf Date: February 22, 2026, 3:24 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I drove to Luton airport to drop off some family members who
were going to fly overseas. Instead of using the regular drop
off service , I wanted to drop them off in the free area (15
minutes free). I had no idea that this does not exist anymore
and that it's only longer parking. After I turned into this area
I saw the signs and realised I must get out of there. I reversed
my car a bit, my passengers hopped out, and I received a PCN for
"Dropping off or picking up outside of designated areas." Is
there a way to get out of this? It was truly a mistake of mine
to turn into that street.

Sorry about that. I'm new at this.
I'm the registered keeper.

So they are not relying on PoFA.
The bit where they say that 'the keeper will still be liable for
the charge' is total BS.
You could reply with the following;
I am the registered keeper.
As your notice is not PoFA compliant I will not be accepting any
liability for the outstanding parking charges.
The driver is not known to you and I will not be providing any
driver details.
Your options are;
Cancel the notice
OR
Waste further money by providing a POPLA code.
Many thanks,

What is a PoFA? And a POPLA?

POFA: The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/9/contents
- The
legislation that gives private parking firms a strict pathway to
keeper liability.
POPLA
HTML https://www.popla.co.uk
: An "independent" appeals organisation
for private parking charges. Independent in quotes because it's
still owned by the "British Parking Association"

May I send another PCN for you to view? This one was issued to
my daughter.
