Overstay ParkingEye Private Parking Charge Notice - Asda Ashford
Kent
DIR By: Hustler6969
Date: August 4, 2026, 11:18 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
Received this PCN (front

& back
HTML https://files.catbox.moe/qj6lh4.jpeg)
from Parking eye a little
while ago for an 'overstay' beyond 2 hours at an ASDA carpark.
Bit of a delay with posting here due to being busy with the
start of the summer but the dates of receipt for this were a bit
awkward anyway - alleged overstay of was 02/07/26, issue date
seems to be 06/07/26, date on the letter is 13/07/26 (note it
might say 'reminder' but this is the first letter!) and I could
have received it no earlier than 17th or 18th July as I found it
on the mat on the 19th Sunday having been away from the 17th for
a long weekend.
I can elaborate on circumstances but in general was a case of
lots of back and forth between car and shop to get different
bits I'd forgotten each time/queues etc. (various things we
needed to go away at short notice etc.). Have some receipts on
me (6 transactions) timed towards the back end of the window,
card statement shows another 2 transactions but had binned those
receipts by the time the PCN came through.
Have already contacted CEO@asda.com with a strongly worded email
and PCN pictures/receipts but haven't heard back yet so will let
know here if I do. Must have spent thousands if not tens of
thousands of pounds with the store over the years..
Believe the 'discount' deadline was 19th (the day I found it!)
so that has gone but the appeal deadline will be 10th/11th
August so would appreciate your help in tackling this
please/advice on next steps - appeal to ParkingEye/POPLA (if so
what to say) or to ignore? And before anyone asks, happy to go
all the way with this.
Thanks all.

There is no mention of POFA in the notice. If the alleged
incident was 2/07/26 it should be received by you by 15/07/26 as
far as I am aware but I am sure f this is not the case then
someone will correct me. You have done the right thing
contacting ASDA very strange to mention the words reminder given
the dates.

No mention of pofa 2012. Doesn’t even look like they’re trying
to transfer liability to registered keeper.
Simple appeal mentioning you are appealing as the registered
keeper, non pofa compliant notice to liability cant be
transferred to you. Also mention its not a legal requirement to
reveal who the driver was so you wont be doing so.
Slam dunk at popla if they dumb enough to reject (which they
most likely will).

Appeal for parking charge notice - xxxxxxx
I am appealing as the Registered Keeper of the vehicle in
question.
The driver is not known to yourselves and there is no legal
requirement for me to disclose such details to an unregulated
parking operator.
I have duly noted your entirely misleading wording (on the PCN)
which states that the driver is 'required to pay or appeal' - no
such legislation exists (requiring the driver to do anything)
and I will now be making a formal complaint to the CMA since
this is exactly the behaviour which they are now clamping down
on.
Your options are now-
1. Save further time, money and resources and cancel the PCN
OR
2. Reject this appeal and provide me with a POPLA code for a
slam dunk appeal.
I am unable to help you further.
Wishes,
xxxxx xxxxxxxxx

Thanks for that - very useful. Should I be mentioning anything
around POFA 2012 and the timing issue (which I don't think I
fully understand myself!) as per some of the input before
yourself?

No, use as-is, but you will need to submit a more detailed
appeal to POPLA when this first appeal is rejected, so you need
to understand things properly by then, do some research!
Submitting anything you don't properly understand is a bad idea,
and the purpose of this forum is to give you advice so that you
can help yourself.

paragraph
9 will give you ammunition if they claim use of PoFA 2012; if
they say they are pursuing the keeper on the "reasonable
assumption" that they are the driver, that's also something that
can be countered, and there are examples of cases on the forum.

Yes I'll use InterCity125's suggestion as in - my confusion was
around Sander333's post (i.e. his calculation and when it'll be
assumed legally that the letter was received (even though I
received it later) but would have nothing to prove it and so
on..but perhaps that's a discussion for later) [react][/react]
