Got a ticket from PPS for "parked in loading bay". Driver was in
the car at the time but didnt get any "windscreen ticket", only
this letter. Pictures on ticket are completely black, but shows
few different angles from visiting their webpage. Ticket and
signage picture (from PPS) attached. Any advise is welcome.
thank you

The NtK is not PoFA compliant - there is no invitation to the
keeper to either pay the charge or provide the driver details.
Nor is the period of parking stated - a single timestamp is not
sufficient.

You can reply

> I am the keeper of the vehicle with registration [REG] and I
dispute your 'parking charge', received 27th January 2026. 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. It does not specify “the
period of parking” as required, amongst other failings. This
omission renders the notice non-compliant, and as such, the
operator cannot rely on PoFA to pursue the registered keeper.
>
> 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. PPS 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.

Expect your appeal to be rejected. Come back here when it is.
They reject because upholding a valid appeal means no money for
them, which is all they care about.

Thank you for advice jfollows and InterCity125. Very helpful
Will get Appeal ready.
Also, are they required to leave a ticket on windscreen? Someone
simply run around the car, took 4 pictures and run away. Driver
was present in the car for the whole 3 minutes :)

Different rules apply if they do, but it’s covered in the
legislation.

Hello everyone.
Thank you for your help raising an "appeal" to PPS. It got
rejected today (after careful consideration).
Please see reply attached. I assume i have to appeal to POPLA?
Thank you again.
