       Just received this charge from group nexus BPA I know nothing
       about at all. I can't even. See in images where it is. Any
       advice please. 1 sheet. Attached back and front with my details
       removed. Says I'm the registered keeper.

       Start with this... 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. GroupNexus 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.
       GroupNexus have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us
       both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.

       Thank you.
       So it's not advisable to just ignore it ?
       Thanks for your help

       You can ignore it, up to the point you receive a county court
       claim from them. After that, you can continue to ignore and get
       a CCJ in default or respond and defend it. With a probable
       greater then 40% chance of being successful.

       They responded after I emailed them what you said -
       Dear Sir/Madam,
       Thank you for your correspondence relating to your Parking
       Charge.
       The Charge was issued and the signage is displayed in compliance
       with The Private Parking Sector Single Code of Practice and all
       relevant laws and regulations.
       Clear signs at the entrance of this site and throughout inform
       drivers that the maximum stay at this site is 2 hours 30 minutes
       between 8:30-21:00 with the option to extend with payment up to
       4 hours 30 minutes. Please note that payment for parking is
       required outside of these times, and it is not possible to
       access any part of the premises without passing multiple signs.
       Your representations are not considered a mitigating
       circumstance for appeal.
       We confirm the Charge was issued under Schedule 4 of the
       Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. As full driver details have not
       been provided, we are holding the registered keeper of the
       vehicle liable.
       In light of this, on this occasion, your representations have
       been carefully considered and rejected.
       We can confirm that we will hold the Charge at the current rate
       of £60.00 for a further 14 days from the date of this
       correspondence. If no payment is received within this period,
       and no further appeal to POPLA is made, the Charge will escalate
       and further costs may be added. Should you appeal to POPLA, and
       your appeal is rejected for any reason, you will also lose your
       right to pay at the reduced rate.
       Please find below the payment options:
       Online: www.groupnexus.co.uk/pcn
       By Telephone: Credit/Debit cards via our automated payment line:
       0844 371 8784
       By Post: Cheques or Postal Orders to: PO Box 1750, Northampton,
       NN1 9PN
       ----------
       You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure.
       This correspondence represents our final stance on the matter
       and we will therefore not enter into any further correspondence.
       CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED FOLLOWING THE REJECTION OF AN APPEAL
       WILL NOT CHANGE THE OUTCOME OR EXTEND THE DATE IN WHICH PAYMENT
       SHOULD BE MADE.
       Although we have now rejected your appeal, you may still have
       recourse to appeal to Parking On Private Land Appeals (POPLA),
       an independent appeals service. An appeal to POPLA must be made
       within 28 days of the date of this correspondence.  POPLA will
       only consider cases on the grounds that the Parking Charge
       exceeded the appropriate amount, that the vehicle was not
       improperly parked or had been stolen, or that you were otherwise
       not liable for the Parking Charge.  To appeal to POPLA, please
       go to their website
  HTML http://www.popla.co.uk
       and follow the
       instructions. If you would rather deal with this matter by post,
       please contact our Appeals Office and we will send you the
       necessary paperwork.
       Your POPLA reference number is (please note this reference is
       for use only when appealing to POPLA): 1773495655
       Please note that if your appeal does not relate to the above
       criteria or is rejected by POPLA for any reason, you will no
       longer qualify for payment at the reduced rate. POPLA will not
       consider any cases where payment has been made. You must pay the
       charge or appeal to POPLA, you cannot do both.
       By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman
       Services (www.ombudsman-services.org/) provides an alternative
       dispute resolution service that would be competent to deal with
       your appeal.  However, we have not chosen to participate in
       their alternative dispute resolution service.  As such should
       you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA, as explained
       above.
       Yours faithfully,
       CP Plus Limited

       I might add I don't know when I'm supposed to have gone to this
       carpark for 2 and a half or it says can be extended to 4hrs !
       I barely go to the place. My son's go there to use the gym on
       site. I often drop them off.
       I went once myself definite not for more than 2hrs. And I
       occasionally go to home bargains for an in and out shop. 21/2 t
       4 1/2hrs. I don't think I've ever done that.
       Ah apparently you have to pay after 9pm which is ridiculous.

       So you have 33 days from there date of the rejection email to
       submit a POPLA appeal. No rush so I suggest you just enjoy the
       holidays for now.
       Have a search of the forum to find other recent POPLA appeals to
       get an idea how to format one and points to use. DO not send
       anything until you've shown us here what you intend to use and
       we will advise on any changes if necessary.
       As I say, do no rush into this. I will only have limited access
       to internet over the next three days and will then be 6 hours
       behind you until early-mid January, so don't expect rapid
       responses if you do decide to rush it.
