Parkingeye Billingham Aldi - overstayed limit?
DIR By: eggybread123

Hello received today!
I think this is potentially due to overstaying limit of car
parking and or driver not putting car reg into the machine,
slightly unclear.
The driver has proof they shopped at Aldi but no receipt.
Car is leased via lease company hence delay in notification.
Googling the rules it looks like there is a 90 minute stay limit
on this car parking.

That notice is addressed to the lease company, so for now it is
for them to deal with, not you. What they should do (and you
should contact them to make sure they have done/do this), is
nominate you as the hirer of the vehicle, at which point you
should receive a notice in your own name.

Hello I received a direct notice as registered keeper today. Any
advice please? I’m not entirely sure what the breach of terms is
as the notice is quite vague? The driver did shop in Aldi on
that day.

You're not the registered keeper, the lease company is.

The notice refers to a "statement of liability" and "a copy of
your signed hire agreement" - did ParkingEye send you either of
these with the notice?

In which case, they have failed to comply with the requirements
of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act to hold you
liable as the hirer, despite what they claim on their notice.
Here's an example of an appeal you can use as the hirer:
[indent]Dear Sirs,
I have received you Parking Charge Notice [(PCN number)] for
Vehicle Registration Mark [VRM]. I am appealing as the vehicle's
hirer. There is no obligation for me to name the driver at the
time and I will not be doing so.
To hold me liable for the charge as the hirer of the vehicle,
you must meet the conditions specified in Paragraph 14 of
Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (“the Act”). I
note from your correspondence that you have failed to meet these
conditions. These failures include (but are not limited to) a
failure to include the additional documents mentioned by 13(2)
of the Act, as required by 14(2)(a).
As a result of this, you are unable to recover the specified
charge from me, the hirer. As I do not have liability for this
charge, I am unable to help you further with this matter. I
therefore look forward to your confirmation that the Parking
Charge Notice has been cancelled and that no further action will
be taken against me. If you refuse to do this, you must supply
me with a POPLA code.
Yours faithfully[/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.

They’ve rejected my appeal but it feels like they’ve not
acknowledged the reason for appeal… should I go back to them to
clarify or go via POPLA?

They always reject appeals, even when they’re valid, because
they know that a percentage of recipients give up and pay up.
They deliberately ignored your reasons for appealing.
They also deliberately do not comply with PoFA for hire cars
because enough people pay up anyway, and it costs them “too much
money” to comply by including the required documentation.
You need to get POPLA to cancel this.
