@Calg, thanks for providing the images.
For future reference, it is only the original Notice to Keeper (NtK), both front and back, that I need to see. The subsequent reminders and Final Demands contain nothing of any legal significance and can safely be ignored. They do not alter the legal position.
What is particularly interesting is that CUP has not even attempted to invoke Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA) in its original NtK.
As previously explained, the operator has no idea who the driver was unless someone tells them. Without that information, the only statutory route to holding the registered Keeper liable is full compliance with PoFA.
CUP has not attempted to use that route and, in any event, the NtK was issued more than four months after the alleged event, making PoFA compliance impossible.
There is no Keeper liability. End of story.
There is no need to engage with their reminders or debt recovery demands. The only correspondence requiring attention would be a formal Letter of Claim or an actual County Court claim.
For now, the only useful next step is the SAR, so we can establish precisely what their ANPR system recorded and why they are alleging that your vehicle was at a location you insist it never visited.
And remember, under no circumstances identify the driver. Any correspondence must remain strictly in your capacity as the registered Keeper.
