GroupNexus the gym group PCN
By: Higym Date: February 23, 2026, 11:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi, a driver(gym member) uses a household members car, only this
one time forgets to input reg on gym console, has used the same
car/gym many times. Received this ntk, have not responded yet.
Approached the gym who advised to appeal in the first instance,
then they might help.

So the NtK is not PoFA compliant.
The Keeper needs to respond along the lines of;
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,

Thanks for the quick reply, so I don't need to mention the
driver is a gym member and there has been no loss to the gym as
no payment is needed (only need to enter reg when u visit)?
Also what happens if they give a popla code?
Out of curiosity- why don't they make there paperwork poFa
compliant?
Many thanks

I'm struggling to see why the NTK is not POFA compliant. If
InterCity125 is suggesting the wording isn't exactly what's in
the legislation Group Nexus won't agree and it's unlikely POPLA
will either. You may eventually get a judge to agree but that's
a long way off.

That's not how this works, the driver entered into a contract
with Group Nexus, they are alleging the driver didn't adhere to
the rules for the car park, I.e. register, so under the contract
the driver now owes Group Nexus. As GN don't know who the driver
is and they are relying on POFA and will hold the registered
keeper liable. You have four options.
1. Pay the PCN, on the face of it the driver did breach the car
park rules.
2. Get the gym to cancel it, usually the prefered option known
as plan A. Depends on what sway they have with GN.
3. Appeal on the basis the driver was a gym member but forgot to
register, theres an outside chance this will get the PCN
cancelled or reduced to £20 (the driver has cost GN real money
to issue the PCN).
4. Use the appeal above which will almost definitely get
rejected*
A POPLA code allows you to go to the 'independant' appeals
service, the next stage in the process.
*This root will most likely go to POPLA next, followed by debt
collectors letters followed by threats of court followed by a
letter of claim. It's a long winded process if you can be
bothered but you will need to engage with the legal process if
it gets that far. If you do they normally give up just before
they have to pay the court fee. If you don't engage at worst you
risk a CCJ in default which will wreck your credit score for 7
years.

Hi yes I just read jammys recent post at this same location(long
winded attempt imo!) and note popla rejected his appeal and
upheld that the PCN was poFa compliant?
So I'm thinking I'll appeal with proof that the driver is a gym
member.
I'm surprised the same advice is being given for a number of
years from what I have read, to claim poFa non compliance
because surely even if they weren't before they would be by
now?!

The NTK not being POFA compliant may be valid but it's highly
unlikely to win any appeals. It really needs to be argued in
court and even that wouldn't necessarily clear the issue up for
anything other than the claim in question.
It's an avenue to take when appealing if no better grounds exist
but it would be helpful to people appealing if it wasn't
portrayed in such certain terms as the validity of the argument
is very much any opinion, not a legal fact and as you point out
if the PCNs aren't POFA compliant why the parking companies
don't make the relatively trivial changes to the wording eludes
me. Some parking companies are pretty amateur but the bigger
ones generally know what they are doing.
