NCP PCN – Wrong Registration – Stockport Picadilly
DIR By: Dr-Perry-Cox
Date: April 16, 2026, 5:19 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
I have received the PCN below for an NCP car park in Stockport.
The driver that day used the card park and made payment on the
app with sufficient time but entered the registration of a
previously used vehicle (completely different).
I have the invoice for payment online and the vehicle that was
entered did not park in the car park.
Appealing doesn't require me to identify the driver, it can be
done as the keeper.
Is there anything you would advise I could add at this time
apart from it being a genuine mistake and sending the
appropriate evidence?
Thank you in advance.

Appealing on the basis of the correct VRM should see a reduced
charge of £20 offered for a 'Major Keying Error'. However, as
the registered keeper, you have another option that should see
you pay nothing. If they want to recover the charge from you as
the keeper, using the provisions of Schedule 4 of the Protection
of Freedoms Act 2012, they must deliver a notice to keeper
within 14 days. The notice issued to you was issued on day 13,
and on the basis that notices by post are presumed to be
delivered 2 working days after the date on which they were
issued, your notice arrived too late. You could therefore appeal
as the keeper on the lines of the below:
[indent]Dear Sirs,
I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ________) for
vehicle registration mark ____ ___, in which you allege that the
driver has incurred a parking charge. I note from your
correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the
registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of
Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act"). You have chosen not to issue a
Notice to Keeper in accordance 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.
Yours,[/indent]
If appealing online, be careful there are no drop down/tick
boxes that cause you to identify who was driving, and keep a
close eye on your spam folder for their response. If they do not
respond within 28 days, chase them.

Got an email this morning confirming that the PCN has been
cancelled.
Genuinely, thank you for taking the time out and advising me,
it's easy to see how they scare a lot of people into paying
👍🏻
