Re: UKPC Parking Notice - Not Parked Correctly within the
Markings - Beckton Triangle Retail Park

POPLA Appeal Rejected - Surely this is incorrect!? Has the
assessor completely misunderstood my appeal?
Assessor summary of operator case
The parking operator has issued the parking charge notice (PCN)
for not parking correctly within the markings of the bay or
space.
Assessor summary of your case
The appellant has provided a detailed account surrounding the
parking event in question. For the purpose of my report, I have
summarised the grounds raised into the points below. • The
operator has failed to comply with the Protection of Freedoms
Act (PoFA) and so the liability cannot be transferred from the
driver to the registered keeper • The notice does not clearly
invite the keeper to name the driver, and it does not give
specific warning to the keeper as required that they will be
held liable if driver details are not provided within 28 days •
The notice does not specify the relevant land on which the
vehicle was parked, and does not inform the keeper of the reason
for issuing the charge clearly The appellant has provided 1. A
copy of the rejection notice from the operator The above
evidence has been considered in making my determination.
Assessor supporting rational for decision
The appellant has raised that the operator has failed to comply
with the requirements of PoFA 2012, and therefore they cannot be
held liable for the PCN as the registered keeper. The Protection
of Freedoms Act (PoFA) 2012 is a law that allows parking
operators to transfer the liability to the registered keeper in
the event that the driver or hirer is not identified. The
parking operator has issued the PCN in this case as the vehicle
was not parked correctly within the markings of the bay. Images
of the vehicle have been provided which clearly confirms the
vehicle was not parked within the white bay markings as per the
requirements of the car park which are detailed on the signs.
The operator has made it sufficiently clear on the PCN that this
is the reason the PCN was issued on this occasion, and this
consequence is also made adequately clear on the terms and
conditions signage. The PCN itself lists the address of the
site, which is Beckton Triangle Retail Park, 5 Claps Gate Lane,
London, E6 6LG, and is the address the operator claims vehicle
was present and parked. For the purposes of PoFA. The relevant
land has been specified as required, and therefore meets
paragraph 9(2)(a) of PoFA. The appellant has not provided any
explanation as to why this address or relevant land is not
correct. Parking operators have to follow certain rules
including inviting the registered keeper to provide the name and
address of the driver, along with warning the registered keeper
that they will be liable if the parking operator is not provided
with the name and address of the driver within 28 days. In this
case, I have reviewed the PCN in question and the parking
operator has ensured to include the necessary information
required, and so the parking operator has successfully
transferred the liability onto the registered keeper. In this
case, Mr . POPLA’s role is to assess if the operator has issued
the charge in accordance with the conditions of the contract. As
the terms and conditions of the car park have not been met, as
the vehicle was observed parked outside of the confines of the
bay or space, I conclude that the operator has issued the
parking charge correctly, and the appeal is refused.

Unsurprising - POPLA are a bit rubbish at interpreting PoFA
sometimes. No great problem, the decision is not binding on you.

Yes. They will pass it on to debt collectors, who you should
ignore. Eventually, they will pass it to a legal firm (usually
DCB Legal, not to be confused with debt collectors DCBL). When
you receive a Letter of Claim you should return here for advice.

Claim has been passed on to ZZPS.
I assume these people are debt collectors and not a law firm.
Thank you

Correct. UKPC usually use DCB Legal for their actual claims. Any
Letter of Claim should be clearly labelled as such.
