This case concerns a Parking Charge Notice (private parking firm) issued by UK Parking Control Ltd, relating to an alleged contravention on Tuesday, 11 November 2025. The notice itself is dated Saturday, 15 November 2025, and I first became aware of it via received initial notice.
The notice appears to have been issued as By post (ANPR/camera). Driver identified status: NO. Equality Act considerations: No. The location is stated as Blackpole Retail Park, Worcester.
A preliminary Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) assessment indicates COMPLIANT: Likely PoFA timing compliant for paragraph 9 (postal NtK, no windscreen NtD). Route applied: PoFA paragraph 9 (postal NtK, no windscreen NtD). The notice is treated as given on Tuesday, 18 November 2025 (7 days after the alleged event).
Current stage:
- Notice responded to: No
- Debt recovery letters: Yes
- Letter of Claim: No
- County Court claim: No
Please can I have advice on the strongest next steps and defence points for this case.
An attempt to lodge an appeal was made on 17th Dec early in the AM, the UKPC site took the text block and then nothing. No response. No rejection or achowledgeent. No POPLA code.
This was the wording:
Parking Charge Reference No: xxxxxxx
Vehicle Reg: xxxxxxxxxxx
A notice to Keeper was received regarding a parking charge at Blackpool Retail Estate on 10/11/25. As Keeper without acknowledgment of being the driver this message is to appeal the issued charge.
We wish for this charge to be purged from your records on the grounds that:
The signage is not clearly visible on site at night
The driver was a customer at the McDonald's on site via the drive thru was not parked for the whole time
Regards
Keeper:xxxxxxx

As said the site swallowed this without anything coming back.
