CPM: parking fine - reason: Vehicle Not Registered - Bow River
Village
DIR By: Plywood-Enthusiast

Hello
Scans and screendumps of CCTV photos below. APlogies the parking
charge number is obfuscated. Providing the parking charge number
and reg seems unwise on a public forum, as someone could use it
maliciously - file a BS invalid appeal and prevent me from doing
so etc.
1. can they issue a PCN without showing a photo of the parking
notice?
2. Charge notice mentions charge is for parking and also for not
registering vehicle interchangably.
3. On google maps the street has a name, but the parking charge
does not state a name. The CCTV footage was taken on a road
named Culvert Drive I think, PCN makes no reference of that.
HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/xiF5NvGNUke38Scg7
4. No privat parking gantry was passed which made it clear that
entering the area would make you liable for parking. There are a
few signs on culvert drive - the text size and location is only
legible to pedestrians, not drivers who are driving along the
road.
Vehicle was used by driver to deliver parcels to block of flats,
this area consists of multiple tower blocks - access controlled
by 3 intercoms to each address. There were 5 parcels to 5
addresses on this estate.
There was no concierge or security to regiser vehicles. The
public road was a very long walk away and not fesable to park on
public roads and walk to delivery addresses.
There is no retained evidence of deliveries as amazon data
retention policies prohibit holding of addresses and names of
customers after shift is over. But amazon delivery app will
confirm the delivery shifts, and the on demand
activated/deactivated 3rd party courier insurance will also
confirm when driver started and ended delivery shift.

Although this doesn’t help you in any way, you have my sympathy
here. We’re the ones who want deliveries to our doors, yet we
then go and employ these predatory parking companies. Do you
have any angle with “Bow River Village”, either to get them to
cancel this nonsense or to get them blacklisted so that your
company will refuse to deliver to them in future?

The PCN is not PoFA compliant and they have no idea who the
driver was.
I would just send them an appeal as keeper stating that you are
the keeper and that you deny liability.
Point out that their NtK is not PoFA compliant.
Point out that you understand that the vehicle driver was not
parked but carrying out a series of deliveries - the law allows
this.
Be careful never to reveal the driver.
They will probably reject the appeal.
We can then provide more support at the external appeal stage.

Well if this is for deliveries to properties then "Jopson v
Homeguard" should come into play.

I wanted to add at the beginning.
The keeper does not intend to pay any extortionate parking
charges unless required to do so by county court. Unless you are
prepared to spend more money into postage and POPLA fees trying
to extract money out of the keeper you should cancel this
parking charge.
The vehicle was used by a driver (who is not the keeper) to make
deliveries for an online retailer to 3 addresses.
[add the not compliant to POFA]
Additionally, the evidence supplied does not provide the photo
of signage used to enforce the parking charge. No signage = no
enforcement. Since you are using driving through a road to infer
a contractual obligation, the signage needs to be legible to a
driver whose driving on that road at 20mph.
Refer to Jopson v Homeguard
Delivery evidence will be provided at POPLA stage. As I am the
keeper and not the driver. I need more time to collect the
evidence from the driver.
[notice to ftla.uk ; vehicle is indeed registerd to someone who
isn't the driver, so I am not lying here by declaring this to
CPM]

I would leave the driver evidence out of the initial appeals for
the time being.
Keep your powder dry in that respect as that will be a
tremendous evidential point if they take the matter to court.

They are IPC, so secondary appeal to IAS not POPLA.

Thanks, are IAS actually independant?
I noticed that CPM are part of so called "international parking
community", whatever the heck that is. The websites of both of
these organisations (IPC & IAS) look a bit amatuerish to me.

Full body of what was sent. They might just see that they are
not going to get a penny from me and just accept the appeal, to
save costs for themselves. Should have added and court fees
after IAS fees (para 2).
Dear Sir/Madam
I am appealing as the keeper and NOT the driver.
Myself (the keeper) does not intend to pay any extortionate
parking charges unless required to do so by county court. Unless
you are prepared to spend more money on letters and IAS fees,
you should cancel this parking charge.
The vehicle was used by a driver (who is not the keeper) to make
deliveries for an online retailer to 3 addresses. Refer to
Jopson v Homeguard, this will be the defence in court and the
judge will throw this case out.
I am the keeper of the vehicle and NOT the driver, and I dispute
your 'parking charge'. 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. 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. CPM 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.
CPM have no hope at IAS, so you are urged to save us both a
complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.
You are invited to either cancel this charge or issue a IAS
appeal code
Additionally, the evidence supplied does not provide the photo
of signage used to enforce the parking charge. No signage = no
enforcement. Since you are using driving through a road to infer
a contractual obligation, the signage needs to be legible to a
driver whose driving on that road at the speed limit which is
20mph.
Delivery evidence will be provided at IAS appeal stage. As I am
the keeper and not the driver. I need more time to collect the
evidence from the driver.

Well, Independent Appeals service..... but their paymasters are
the parking cos, and they pretty much boast that they reject
>94% of all appeals! :D
