Company Vehicle and PCN from Civil Enforcement
DIR By: djsky

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I came here to search for a draft letter/response I used
before when I recieved a parking charge from one of our company
vehicles... it worked before and wondered if I could use it
again, but can't find it. It was entitled COMPANY ABC or
something similar.
I, as the company secretary/Director, received a PCN for one of
our company vehicles from ce-service for parking at a customer
location on their private land (car park managed by CE-Service)
without registering the number plate at the site... the site
aren't being very helpful and haven't cancelled the charge which
i'm sure they are able to do, but it's now gone to a LBA from
ce-service.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I've not responded or appealed to any of the PCN letters yet.

There is no obligation for us to name the driver and we will not
be doing so. We are 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.

But you say you now have a Letter before Action, so it’s too
late to appeal, for which you may have been able to use the
above. You will presumably have to file a county court defence
now.
Do not assume non-compliance with PoFA 2012 unless you are sure,
or until you have posted the PCN and had feedback on it.

I was back and forth with the landowner about cancelling the
charge, and assumed they'd done it as i'd not heard for a while,
but now its at LBA stage.
Here's the original PCN

As an aside I'd get back onto the customer.
You might want to point out it's not particularly conducive to a
good business relationship for one of their suppliers to be sued
by their car park operator.

The PCN looks pretty compliant to me.
The wording does differ significantly from the legislation but
all key information is set out alongside the correct warnings
and statements etc.
Do you still have your communications with the landowner?
You best defence point could be that you had direct permission
from the landowner for the vehicle to be there - ie if the
landowner had booked your services etc.
