Hi all.
I have just today received a "Notice to Keeper" from LPS Ltd. (I will scan it and upload it tomorrow)
After reading through various threads on Pepipoo, the Parking Cowboys checklist, and also schedule 4 of the POFA (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/9...edule/4/enacted) - as far as I can see, the Notice to Keeper must, amongst other things:
- Identify the creditor of which LPS Ltd is acting on behalf of.
- Provide details of the discount for payment within 14 days, The Discount should be at least 40% of the full charge under the BPA Code of Practice (applies to BPA Members only)
Both of which they have failed to do.
The Notice to Keeper they have sent me gives no indication that they are an agent on behalf of the land owner.
And also, it specifically states on the Notice to Keeper that:
"This PCN has not been paid and the opportunity to pay a discounted amount has been lost. Failure to provide driver details or payment of the full amount of £85 within 28 days of this notice will result in your case being passed to our solicitor where the outstanding charge will increase to £110.50 plus further administrative costs."
The "full amount of £85" that they refer to is the full amount on the Notice to Driver, a discounted amount of £50 was available if paid within 14 days.
Is my interpretation correct of POFA Section 4, para 8.2 (g) that states:
"inform the keeper of any discount offered for prompt payment and the arrangements for the resolution of disputes or complaints that are available"
I interpret that to mean that they must also offer the same reduced amount of £50 if paid within 14 days of the Notice to Keeper?
Is my interpretation correct? And if so, does that give me grounds for appeal (to be submitted after the 56 day period for issuing a NTK has elapsed)?
Thanks in advance.
