UKCPS - Letter Before Claim (LBC) received - No Stopping at Manchester Piccadilly station

[DaSh60]

yes, I know, this is why I am intrigued to see if they are willing to see this thru to court.

 

on the invoice too late thing, I reference this...

"The landholder may apply to DVLA for vehicle keeper details under the reasonable cause provisions and send a notice to the registered keeper within 14 days of the alleged contravention"

from...

in the questionnaire it mentions 'must be received by you between 29-56 days' - where does this come from ?

[FTMDave]

The 14 days refers to the vehicle being photographed by ANPR.

 

The 29-56 days is instead if some bod sticks a ticket on the windscreen.

ok, clear. thanks for explaining.

 

As they state to be 'non POFA' what legal grounds can they use to even attempt to go to court ?

Surely adherence to POFA is not an option ?

POFA is irrelevant to if or if not simple simon issues a court claim..

[lookinforinfo]

PoFA is relevant when they are pursuing the keeper  when they do not know who the driver is. If you are not the driver they should have little chance of winning in Court.

that's the brilliance of our CAG advice the OP has not appealed so simple simon hasn't got a clue who was driving, so must use POFA if issuing a court claim . however that won't stop him issuing one even if pofa does or not apply.

Don't think this is Simple's pigeon, its UKPS, who are equally as dire as simple.  The signage changes are fatal to the case especially if they deem a Parking event from a prohibitive notice allowing No Stopping.

yes mixing it with the no-stopping king but as you say the same principles apply..they dont care..
