Saba Parking PCN - Paid Wrong Plate x2 (Trust) - Train Station,
Northampton
By: ZerkerEOD Date: January 5, 2026, 5:45 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I am the registered owner of a vehicle that received two PCNs,
one received on Dec 18 for a Dec 11 offense and one on Dec 22
for a Dec 13 offense. The registered driver paid through the
trust application but incorrectly entered the registration
details (turned a V into a Z but the rest of the plate was
correct). I have uploaded both PCNs along with the back of one
since it was the same on both. I am assuming they got my details
as the registered owner through DVLA already.

The driver had to use the train station both days and wasn't
aware there was an issue in how they entered the registration
until these PCNs started to arrive. The drive has since resolved
the issue through the Trust app. For note, the Trust app did not
register the vehicle when entering, and the driver assumed it
was an issue in the system and, before leaving the car park for
the day, manually paid through the Trust app.

It looks like I have until Jan 14 for the first one and then Jan
18 for the second one, which is a Sunday. What defense would I,
as the registered keeper, have? I read the start here post and
see that I have no obligation to disclose who was driving.
However, when I went to initially dispute the PCN through their
site, it appeared they required a box to state who was driving
to dispute it through the online portal. Does that mean I need
to mail a letter, as they don't have an email address to send
anything? Any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at this recent case involving Saba - Topic: Penalty
Notice from Saba for not paying for parking
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/penalty-notice-from-saba-for-not-paying-for-parking/.<br
/>You can take a similar approach yourself. The intent here is
essentially to string the matter out so that it goes past the 6
month period they have to prosecute (not that they ever would
prosecute, as they don't get any money from that).

Thanks, is there a way to contact them that isn't through their
online portal, as I don't believe they can force someone to
compel who was driving, but the online form appears to require
an answer for it. I found this while looking
(

/>would this also be viable to send the email to their DPO or wa
s
that bad advice? If so, I will send my first one tomorrow as it
is the day before the last day I think and then the next one
probably Saturday.

Yes you could do this.
If you are unable to appeal online due to that driver
requirement the other option is to send it by post - this will
cost you £1.70 but will at least circumvent their naff form.
Try their complaints email as an alternative.

Remember to appeal as Keeper.
They have no idea who the driver was and you're not just about
to tell them.

Is this satisfactory to show that it was paid while still
hitting the notices?

I suggest you change this."I noticed that the parking did not
start in" to "it was noticed that".
You're close to revoking the driver! You're lucky inasmuch as
the law was changed on the 28th December to make railway
property "relevant land" under POFA! It cannot be applied
retrospectively. You'll not be paying anything. But wait for
further confirmation from others before you hit the send button.
Maybe leave it a few weeks to string out the 6 months.
You will no doubt get scarey letters from debt collectors, they
are good for cat litter if nothing else.

Thanks, I’ll get that changed. I don’t know the law changed but
luckily the fine is from before it.
Tomorrow is my last day to respond though in the time limit.

Ideal - responding as late as possible is never a bad idea for
the reason above of stringing things out.
