Apologies for reposting, i'm wondering if I should just go back
with the same initial response? Seems odd they haven't accepted
my arguement but also haven't turned it down, and have given me
a further 4 days?

They are fishing for the driver’s identity, I would ignore.

I've just gone back to them saying -
Good morning,
Again I wish to draw your attention to the below -
"You are unable to hold me liable as the registered keeper,
under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("The
Act"). You have failed to issue a Notice to Keeper properly
compliant with The Act, and it is now too late for you to do so.
There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not
be doing so. I am therefore unable to help you further with this
matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge
has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you
must issue a POPLA code.'
I guess they'll now send me the Popla code, will update once I
hear back.

If your appeal is on non-compliance with PoFA 2012, as discussed
earlier, you need to amplify the point with POPLA by quoting the
legislation and leading the assessor through the reasons why the
notice does not comply with the legislation, then conclude by
stating that the driver has not been identified and therefore
you as registered keeper can not be held liable.

Research the forum, write something, post it here, you will get
input or approval.
You have to construct the framework for your case, but we’ll
correct or modify as appropriate.
Templates just lead to people blindly submitting things they
don’t understand, I find.

Would the below be suitable or how i can i give it a little more
oomph:
FORMAL APPEAL - PCN xxx
To Whom It May Concern,
I wish to make formal representations against PCN [number]
issued on [date].
I am appealing this parking charge on the grounds of POFA 2012
non-compliance, namely, Paragragh 9(2)(f) of Schedule 4 the
Protection of Freedoms Act says the notice must:
warn the keeper that if, after the period of 28 days beginning
with the day after that on which the notice is given.
However, the PCN notice received states:
"You are advised that, if after the period of 30 days beginning
with the day after that on which this Parking Charge Notice to
Keeper is given."
Also, the parking company operator has no legal right to enforce
the charge against the keeper, and also has no legal right to
require the keeper to name the driver.
With both of these facts in place, the charge cannot be allowed
to stand and my appeal should stand.
