Unfair NCP PCN - didn't park due to no spaces and people parking
in places which weren't bays delayed exit

Hi forum members,
I'm in a bit of a pickle.
As the registered keeper I've received a PCN from NCP for
allegedly parking without payment.
However, the driver found the car park was full with no spaces
available, and to make matter worse the driver found there were
cars that weren’t parked in designated bays blocking the path
around so only one car could pass at a time.
As a result, it took the driver just over 15 minutes to exit the
car park.
I'll follow-up with a copy of the PCN for reference.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If that’s the first PCN, it’s out of time to transfer liability
from the unknown driver to the registered keeper; as long as the
driver isn’t identified there’s a simple appeal on that basis.
Forget about “unfair”. You need to defeat this on a
technicality.
Plus you didn’t park anyway.

Does it? Reminders don't generally provide a fresh 14 day
discount period.
OP - can you show us the back?

Thanks for the responses all, I appreciate the help.
I can confirm this is the first letter I've received regarding
the matter
This is the back:

How does this sound as a response?
"
I am appealing this parking charge as the keeper of vehicle
*reg*.
The Notice to Keeper is non-compliant with the requirements of
the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Paragraph 9,
including, but not limited to, being served outside of the
relevant period contrary to paragraph 9 (4). The presumed
delivery date would be the 16th January 2026, 51 days after the
day following the end of the parking period, exceeding the 14
days permitted for the relevant period stipulated by paragraph 9
(5).
There is no obligation for me to provide you with the identity
of the driver, and I will not be doing so.
I await your confirmation that this appeal is upheld, the
parking charge is cancelled, and that you will cease processing
and destroy any of my personal information held by you.
"
Thanks again!
