       > First, your assertion that I “stated that [I was] not the
       driver of the vehicle at the date and time of the breach” is
       entirely false. I said no such thing. My appeal made it
       perfectly clear that I am the registered keeper, that I dispute
       the charge, and that there would be no admission as to the
       identity of the driver and no inferences or assumptions could be
       drawn.
       >
       > Your attempt to rewrite my appeal into something it never said
       is, at best, sloppily incompetent and, at worst, deliberately
       mendacious. It gives the distinct impression that nobody at
       ParkingEye has actually read my appeal and that you are simply
       spraying out boilerplate bluster in the hope that keepers will
       be bullied into naming a driver.
       >
       > For the avoidance of doubt, I will not be identifying the
       driver. There is no legal obligation on a registered keeper to
       disclose a driver’s identity and you have no entitlement to that
       personal data.
       >
       > You then recite selected snippets from Schedule 4 of the
       Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, as if parroting paragraphs
       9(2)(b) and 9(2)(f) somehow cures the other defects in your
       Notice to Keeper. It does not. Keeper liability can only arise
       where an operator has complied with ALL the mandatory
       requirements of Schedule 4, not just the ones it finds
       convenient to quote after the event. Your NtK is not fully
       compliant with all of those requirements; partial or
       “substantial” compliance is insufficient in law. Consequently,
       you cannot transfer liability for this charge from the unknown
       driver to me as keeper.
       >
       > My position is therefore unchanged:
       >
       > • I deny any liability or contractual agreement.
       > • I will not be naming the driver.
       > • You cannot rely on Schedule 4 PoFA to pursue me as keeper.
       >
       > You must now either cancel this charge or issue a POPLA code
       without further prevarication. Any continued attempt to
       misrepresent my appeal, to misstate the effect of PoFA, or to
       pursue me as if I were liable despite your own non-compliant
       paperwork will simply form part of a formal complaint to your
       client and the relevant regulatory and supervisory bodies.

       [member=26]b789[/member] I sent the above to ParkingEye as you
       suggested. This "Letter Before County Court Claim" arrived from
       ParkingEye today (23.1.26):

       Did you ever get an appeal response with a POPLA code?

       No, I didn't, they didn't reply to my last correspondence asking
       for one. Everything I've received has been posted in this
       thread.

       Update: I've just found the POPLA code in my emails and realised
       I missed the deadline :(
       Please advise on wording for a safe Letter Before Claim response
       (30 days, online reply only).
       Thanks in advance!

       Doesn't really matter as it was unlikely you would have been
       successful at POPLA with the appeal grounds you used with
       Parkingeye. Nothing more you can do now until a letter of claim
       turns up which you can't afford to ignore. When that arrives
       come back here for further advice.

       I've heard nothing on this since January 2026 and now out of the
       blue I've received a Claim Form from HM Courts & Tribunals
       Service (see attached 8 pages).
       I'm short on time as it says I need to respond within 14 days of
       the day of service and I'm about to go on holiday so the
       deadline will fall within that time. Can anyone help please?
       As it's so long since this topic was started and has remained
       dormant since, do I need to start a new one to ensure it's seen?
       EDIT: I've repeatedly tried to embed the images as I've done
       previously but it's not working. For now, here are the links. I
       will keep trying.

       It looks as though I've mucked up on this one and will just have
       to pay? Is that right? :'(
       NOTE: I've embedded the images from Imgbb but for some reason
       they're not showing up. I'll keep trying.

       You can submit an Acknowledgment of Service within 14+5 days
       from the date on the N1SDT claim form, giving you an additional
       14 days before you have to file a defence. It says this.
       Please do NOT start a new thread, as you haven’t.
       If you will still be on holiday 28+5 days from the date on the
       form, you need to find a way of writing and submitting a
       defence.
       Your defence needs to be more specific on why the NtK fails to
       meet the requirements of PoFA 2012, for example.
