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 an IAS referral code.
Many thanks,
xxxxxx xxxxxxxx

You might want to expand that a bit if you want any chance of
winning an appeal (IPC member, IAS second stage so unlikely).
There's no period of parking on that PCN I can see which means
they can't show you were there for more than 5 minutes meaning
they can't prove you entered into the contract. Appeal on tnose
grounds, keep it factual and avoid the sarcasm. The people
assessing these will be minimum wage and have quotas to get
through, keep it polite and to the point, some appeals do get
accepted. Send in the above and it's 99% likely to get rejected.

Hello,
I am the registered keeper of vehicle [VRM] and dispute your
invoice / Parking Charge Notice.
Your Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the mandatory
requirements of Schedule 4 to the Protection of Freedoms Act
2012, and you have therefore not established keeper liability.
In particular (but not limited to) you have failed to specify
the required period of parking as required by Schedule 4
paragraph 9(2)(a). Merely stating observation times is
insufficient.
Parliament enacted the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (POFA) to
create a precise statutory route by which a claimant may hold a
vehicle’s keeper liable. Even if the Notice to Keeper contains
elements that resemble POFA, the Claimant has not complied with
all of the mandatory statutory requirements and thus has not
invoked the POFA scheme. Having declined the only mechanism
Parliament provided, the Claimant cannot rely on any presumption
of keeper liability or invite an inference of driver identity.
Parliament deliberately withheld such a presumption, and it
cannot be supplied by implication where the statute does not
provide it.
For the avoidance of doubt - the driver has not been identified;
I am under no obligation to name the driver and will not be
doing so.
You now have two options available:
(i) Cancel the Parking Charge Notice; or
(ii) Provide an IAS referral code

The NtK also fails to provide the information and legal choice
required by Schedule 4 Paragraph 9(2)(e).
The notice MUST - (e)state that the creditor does not know both
the name of the driver and a current address for service for the
driver and invite the keeper—
(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges; or
(ii)if the keeper was not the driver of the vehicle, to notify
the creditor of the name of the driver and a current address for
service for the driver and to pass the notice on to the driver;

Ive just had this response back from my appeal. Can i have any
advice how to respond or next steps, Thanks.
Thank you for your appeal.
Having noted your comments, and checking the evidence gathered
when issuing the Parking Charge, we are satisfied that the
Parking Charge has been issued correctly and your appeal is
rejected.
There are clear signs informing all drivers parking on this site
is strictly prohibited between the hours of 12am and 6am. It is
the drivers sole responsibility to ensure they are familiarising
themselves with the signs and adhering to the terms and
conditions stated within them. As you can see from the
photographic evidence the vehicle had been parked onsite from 00
34 until 00 49. As the vehicle had been parked outside of
permitted hours, this parking charge has been issued correctly.
All of our signage is fully compliant with the guidelines set
out within The Single Code of Practice and we reject the notion
that it is in any way unclear or ambiguous. The signage is
printed on reflective material and is clearly illuminated in
vehicle headlights within hours of darkness.
