Leeds Station no stopping notice
By: RipOffPCN Date: February 24, 2026, 7:57 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
Any help/advice gratefully received.
My other half received a parking charge for stopping on the
double yellows outside the car park/Leeds station. There was no
traffic in front or behind - I was there literally for seconds
as a friend jumped into the car. The registered keeper wasn't
with me.
The notice is described as Postal - Non PoFA, issued on private
land (the incident happened well after the recent rule change in
December.
I am not the registered keeper of the car.
The notice was received 15 days after the supposed offence.
How should I proceed? I'm a bit thrown by the conflicting advice
I've seen online.
Thanks in advance.

I can post a redacted copy of the letter if this helps.
Thanks!

Yes.
If it’s “non-PoFA” then we need to see why, but if it is then
the liability can’t be transferred from driver to the registered
keeper.
The legislation change means that PoFA can be used because the
land is now “relevant land” but if the notice doesn’t comply
with the requirements of the legislation, as its title appears
to indicate, then the transfer can’t be made if the driver is
not identified.

Okay, any idea how I post a pic? Sorry for my lack of techno
knowledge :)

These files show the redacted notice.
The route in - which does have signage. But only on the way in -
this was the evening before when it was dark and the signage is
to your left on the wall. There is a much smaller sign a little
further ahead on a metal pole.
The other photos show the route out of the car park. I turned
out and spotted a workmate - stopped for seconds on the double
yellows - and they jumped in. There isn't any readable signage
when you turn out of the car park (where I stopped). A bit
further ahead there is a very small sign on a metal pole but
this wasn't in vision where I stopped (very briefly!).

The dates show that, issued on 10 February, the notice is too
late to transfer liability from the unknown driver to the
registered keeper, with presumed delivery on 12 February being
more than 14 days after the alleged transgression on 28 January.
So indeed they can not use PoFA to transfer liability and say
that they’re not doing.
Their statement that they can assume you were the driver is
complete twaddle. They make untrue statements like this in the
hope that you will believe them and pay up.
You “appeal” by telling them that you’re not liable and not
going to pay, essentially. It’s a common form of words which, if
I find it, I will post here.

Thank you! If you could post the correct wording - or direct me
to where I can find it - that would be very much appreciated.
What a great website this is!
