I appealed to private company - instead of giving me a POPLA code they have provided the below (just a snippet of the letter).
Can I inform them that I will not be providing the information and request the POPLA code be provided without delay?. I do not wish to wait 28 days and further drag out the process.
Also it states after 29 days they have the right to recover any unpaid parking charges from me? Its a very cleverly and confusing letter - clearly aimed at persuading me to hand over the drivers details.
" You are warned that if, after 29 days from the Date of Issue, the parking charge has not been paid in full and we do not know both the name and current address of the driver, we have the right to recover any unpaid part of the parking charge from you, the registered keeper. This warning is given to you under paragraph 9(2)(f) of schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and is subject to our complying with the applicable conditions under schedule 4 of that Act.
Please note, if you have made or wish to make an appeal on behalf of the driver, and you do not provide the full name and current postal address of the driver, ParkingEye will be obliged to deal with the representations made in your name.
ParkingEye have placed this charge on hold for 28 days to enable you to provide the evidence requested. If this information is not provided within 28 days, the appeal may well be rejected and a POPLA code provided. "
