Re: PCN - Appeal help

Yes, this is the classic 'disengagement' which we mentioned
previously in the thread.
Basically, you provided them with clear evidence which showed
that the NtK was not PoFA compliant - your evidence was
compelling in that respect.
In simple terms, they could not comment on that without
acknowledging that the prescribed wording wasn't present.
Acknowledging the absent mandatory wording would have
significant legal ramifications for the operator, not just in
your case but in the cases of 1,000s and 1,000s of other cases -
becoming aware of the absent wording would mean that they would
not be able to pursue other unpaid PCNs under the claim of
keeper liability based on PoFA. If they continued to make
representations which indicated that keeper liability existed
(when they knew full well that it didn't) then they would
probably be committing fraud by misrepresentation.
As you say, onto POPLA - an appeal along the lines of your
previous appeal to the operator. Use the previous wording which
sets out the exact requirements of Schedule 4.
You could also send a further letter to Parking Eye asking them;
Why they haven't provided a response which addresses your appeal
point?
Ask Parking Eye to confirm that they are no longer pursuing
other keepers using PoFA now that they are fully aware that PoFA
could never be applied to any of their defective PCNs?
Ask Parking Eye to confirm that they are notifying keepers (of
unpaid notices) that they can no longer rely on PoFA in their
case?
Ask Parking Eye what they are doing with keepers who have
already paid the charges based on the defective notices -
keepers may well have paid under the assumption that Parking
Eye's claim of keeper liability was true?
Have a bit of fun at their expense!
