Hi all, would appreciate advice on current thinking with the below.
Notice to keeper was received today by keeper, alleging a PCN had been affixed to the window of car in mid April. it appears the driver usually pays via an app, but after repeated tries they were unable to, and had to go and do what they'd come to do. The driver isn't really sure of what happened - they do have some short term memory issues. It appears they saw ticket but thought it would go away. on the rear of the ntk it says the time for appeals (21 days) has now lapsed and £100 is now due. both driver and keeper are on low income with no moey to pay this. what's the current thinking on ignoring or replying? thanks, This post has been edited by needle: Fri, 25 May 2018 - 00:30 |

When exactly was this? |

Meaning they met pofa timescales.
Do they state the keeper is liable due to pofa? Simple yes or no. |

I'd say SIP probably have met the required wording for keeper liability.
Either ignore or send a template appeal from the keeper, saying the app failed that day, which was only realised after trying 3 times and checking their phone later, so the system failed, not the driver. Something very bland like that, then ignore them until they try a small claim, then come back later if they try, in good time to defend. Can the keeper cope with demanding letters? |

Doesn't have to be. Already said, it;s about wording FROM the POFA, not actually mentioning the Act:
QUOTE I'd say SIP probably have met the required wording for keeper liability. Not seen one recently from SIP that wasn't worded properly - and that's for you to check, against Schedule 4 (easy - not for us to do for people). |

They refused any chance of appeal as it wasn’t sent within 21 days of the pcn. They also refused any independent appeal
They can probably cope with demanding letters to a certain extent but neither would be capable of attending court, that would have to be a third party. It does seem as if they’ve used the correct wording. The real concern I have is that as far as I know, if this goes to court and sip win, they are under no obligation to accept a payment plan and can send bailiffs to the keepers house to retrieve goods to the value they are awarded. Also just to add, the driver does have 3 years worth of email receipts from the app for this exact car park. |

No obligation to accept a payment plan, but have to accept a payment in full in the specified time.

but neither would be capable of attending court, that would have to be a third party. The defendant can be represented by a lay person but in that case they have to attend in person. If defendant doesn't attend court, they have to be represented by a solicitor, the cost of which you can't reclaim. |
