This case concerns a Parking Charge Notice (private parking firm) issued by Civil Enforcement Ltd, relating to an alleged contravention on Wednesday, 10 December 2025. The notice itself is dated Wednesday, 17 December 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 61 SUFFOLK ROAD.
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 Friday, 19 December 2025 (9 days after the alleged event).
Current stage:
- Notice responded to: Yes
- Debt recovery letters: No
- Letter of Claim: No
- County Court claim: No
Response/appeal already sent (verbatim where possible):
Yes we have made an appeal to Civil Enforcement which has now been turned down. Next phase is to go to POPLA
Additional notes provided:
We have appealed but it has been turned down. Need to go to POPLA
Please can I have advice on the strongest next steps and defence points for this case.
