Hi @Dom.mcck. Can you show the image. No image was attached to the post.
As this is a windscreen Notice to Driver (NtD) it would assist greatly if you could also show me an image of the PCN that was affixed to the vehicle. Both sides please. Any photos of the signs in situ would also assist.
Have you been back to the pub to ask the management to get it cancelled?
As with any windscreen NtD, you must not act in haste. They have no idea who the driver is and unless their NtD fully complies with PoFA and their follow up also complies, they cannot hold you liable as the Keeper as long as the driver is not identified.
National Parking Control Group are IPC members so any appeals are not going to be accepted, either initially or secondary with the IAS. However, in most cases, these will progress to a county court claim which will either be subsequently discontinued or easily won because of their failures to comply with all the requirements of PoFA.
What you must NOT do is respond to the NtD until day 27 after the date of the initial issue of the NtD. That is when you must submit an initial appeal, only as the Keeper and you must not identify the driver.
So, on Thursday 14 May is when you send the appeal. I will give you the wording to use once you have shown me the NtD and any pictures of the signs etc.
Do not rush this. There is a tactical reason for appealing at the last moment and that is often enough to give you a huge advantage in dealing with these ex-clampers.
