Alliance Parking NTK PCN ANPR - Padstow Main Road Car Park, PL28 8EX

[lookinforinfo]

They cannot transfer the charge from the driver to the keeper as their PCN does not comply with the Act. The Protection of Freedoms Act  2012 is quite clear that if the PCN does not comply with the Act then only the driver is liable to pay the charge.

As any motorist with a valid motor insurance policy can drive your car  Alliance will have a hard job identifying the driver unless you appeal and reveal who was driving. Should this case end up in court,

Judges do not accept that the keeper and the driver are the same person..

The main reasons why the PCN is not compliant is that they have not asked the keeper to pay the charge and nor have they explained that they can only transfer liability to the keeper if they get their PCN to follow the PoFA guide lines. They haven't. 

They are supposed to specify the parking period but instead give the exit and arrival times so they have included the time taken to reach a parking place and later leave it to drive to the exit. Without those driving times your car would have become much closer to the four hour parking time and there is always a fifteen minute allowance to take into account.

Another error they made was to add an extra amount if the charge  is not paid within 28 days as the Act is quite clear-you can only pursue the driver for the amount on the signage.

So dinnae fash yersel.
