With such a clear cut case as explained, this is likely to be
successful at POPLA. If not, it is just more evidence that POPLA
is not fit for purpose.

Hello, I tried to make an appeal a couple of days ago and the
paymyparkingcharge.com site only had a drop down menu for 'yes'
or 'no', to who was the driver. No other option. So, I left it
and was going to ask you what to do and when I have just gone on
again, it has the following page now.

What should I do now as their does not seem to be an option to
appeal on this page?
Thank you, in advance, for your help.

Wait for the debt collectors letters to start coming in followed
by a possible letter of claim. You've missed the appeal window,
your only other option is to contact SABA and ask them to
consider a late appeal. Assuming they will even consider a late
appeal you will need a decent reason for not having appealed in
the time frame allowed.

@Kbonner, today is the last day for submitting an initial
appeal. The NtK was issued on Friday 28 November, so deemed
received Tuesday 02 December. Appeals can be accepted 28 days
from receipt (PPSCoP §8.1.2(e)).
Send the following be email TODAY. DO NOT delay. Address it to
dpo.uk@sabagroup.com and CC yourself:

[TFL reference]
>
> To: dpo.uk@sabagroup.com

> Dear Data Protection Officer,
>
> I am the registered keeper of vehicle [registration]. I am
contacting you because SABA’s online appeal form compels
appellants to answer “Driver: Yes/No”. There is no legal
obligation on a registered keeper to identify the driver, and
this forced declaration unlawfully obstructs the exercise of
appeal rights and risks the creation of inaccurate personal
data.
>
> Because your webform prevents a lawful keeper appeal unless an
unnecessary declaration is made, I am submitting this
correspondence directly to you. The data protection issue and
the appeal are inseparable.
>
> Today is the final day for submitting an initial appeal. The
Notice to Keeper was issued on Friday 28 November and is deemed
received on Tuesday 02 December. Under the Private Parking
Single Code of Practice section 8.1.2(e), appeals may be
submitted within 28 days of receipt. This email is therefore
submitted within the permitted timeframe.
>
> Please treat this email as:
>
> [indent]1. A UK GDPR complaint and limited data request; and
> 2. A formal keeper appeal against Parking Charge Notice [TFL
reference].[/indent]
>
> UK GDPR complaint and limited data request:
>
> Your appeal portal requires a keeper to state “Driver:
Yes/No”. This is not required by law and creates a real risk of
inaccurate or unfair processing by compelling a declaration
about driver identity. This is contrary to the UK GDPR
principles of fairness, data minimisation, and accuracy.
>
> Please confirm that:
>
> [indent]a) no assumption, inference, or data-field entry
regarding driver identity will be recorded unless I explicitly
provide it; and
> b) my appeal will be processed without requiring any driver
declaration.[/indent]
>
> To enable me to understand and verify the processing of my
personal data in this case, please provide only the following:
>
> [indent]1) the images and VRM/ANPR captures relied upon;
> 2) the PCN/NtK data fields held on your system for this case
(including timestamps); and
> 3) the date and purpose of the DVLA data request and the data
items obtained.[/indent]
>
> Pending resolution of this issue and determination of the
appeal, I require restriction of processing for enforcement
purposes under Article 18. Please acknowledge this complaint and
confirm the date by which you will respond.
>
> Keeper appeal:
>
> [indent]I am the registered keeper. SABA cannot hold a
registered keeper liable for any alleged contravention on land
that is under statutory control. As a matter of fact and law,
SABA will be well aware that they cannot use the PoFA provisions
because the car park at TfL Loughton Main is not 'relevant
land'.
>
> If TfL wanted to hold owners or keepers liable under TfL
Bylaws, that would be within the landowner's gift and another
matter entirely. However, not only is that not pleaded, it is
also not legally possible because SABA is not the landowner and
your 'parking charge' is not and never attempts to be a penalty.
It is created for SABA’s own profit (as opposed to a bylaws
penalty that goes to the public purse) and SABA 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.
SABA have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a
complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.[/indent]
>
> Required actions:
>
> [indent]1) Confirm receipt of this email.
> 2) Confirm this UK GDPR complaint and limited data request is
being processed.
> 3) Confirm this email has been accepted as a valid initial
appeal submitted within time and that the appeal section has
been forwarded to the appropriate department for determination.
> 4) Confirm the PCN is placed on hold pending the outcome of
both matters.
> 5) If the PCN is not cancelled, confirm that a POPLA code will
be issued with the rejection so the keeper may escalate to
independent adjudication.[/indent]
