NCP Parking Charge to Keeper
DIR By: Zambo
Date: July 21, 2025, 4:35 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
Received a NCP Parking Charge to Keeper (£100, £60 if paid
withing 14 days), for Parking on private land, in a unauthorised
area, and liable for the same, having been brought to the
attention of the driver by clear signage in and around the car
park.
Now, admittedly, recognise the car park / situation / photos.
However, the charge states the infringement took place at
another car park, some 12 miles away, of which I have never used
and clearly was not there on the day.
Is there a case for incorrect information and request to quash?
Thanks in advance.

Now, admittedly, recognise the car park (Wimborne Redcotts Lane
BH21 1JX) / situation / photos. Parking in a "private" space,
not NCP allocated space. However, the charge states the
infringement took place at another car park (Winton Wimborne
road BH9 1JP), some 12 miles away, of which I have never used
and clearly was not there on the day.
Is there a case for incorrect information and request to quash?
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you ensure that you never identify the driver, see
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/<br
/>if you haven’t already, always refer to “the driver” in the
third person unlike the words you have used, and respond to the
effect that the driver has never used the car park they are
alleging, and that you expect the notice to be cancelled.
Note that today, 22 July, is the latest date by which they would
need to send an amended notice to you, the registered keeper, to
hold you liable for the actions of the driver, whom they don’t
know and you will not identify. So it’s too late for them to fix
their mistake if you don’t identify the driver.

The Parking Charge Notice (PCN) is not PoFA compliant and so
they cannot hold the Keeper liable, as long as the unknown
driver is not identified. There is no legal obligation on the
known keeper (the recipient of the Notice to Keeper (NtK)) to
reveal the identity of the unknown driver and no inference or
assumptions can be made.
The NtK is not compliant with all the requirements of PoFA which
means that if the unknown driver is not identified, they cannot
transfer liability for the charge from the unknown driver to the
known keeper.
Use the following as your appeal. No need to embellish or remove
anything from it:
--- Quote ---
> I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your 'parking
charge'. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I
will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your
client landowner.
>
> As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with ALL
the requirements of PoFA 2012, you are unable to hold the keeper
of the vehicle liable for the charge. Partial or even
substantial compliance is not sufficient. There will be no
admission as to who was driving and no inference or assumptions
can be drawn. NCP has relied on contract law allegations of
breach against the driver only.
>
> The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have
been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation
of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable.
NCP have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a
complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.
