Covers All Major UK Private Parking Operators (BPA & IPC Members)
Private parking tickets are not criminal fines; they are speculative invoices based on contract law. To make the registered keeper pay in place of the driver, operators must satisfy strict statutory hurdles.
Under UK law, registered keepers are never obligated to state who was behind the wheel. When you challenge strictly as the registered keeper, the operator has no driver admission to rely upon.
Under PoFA 2012 Schedule 4 paragraph 9(5), postal notices to keeper must be served within 14 days of the incident. High-volume operators frequently breach this window, forfeiting keeper liability.
While operators routinely issue automated refusals to Stage 1, independent tribunals (POPLA & IAS) must follow binding statutory rules. When keeper liability fails, the tribunal orders the fine cancelled.
Private parking operators reject 80%+ of initial appeals using copy-paste templates. We prepare you for the entire battle upfront.
Sent directly to the parking operator (via their online portal or postal address). It asserts strict registered keeper capacity, cites PoFA 2012 Schedule 4, and demands cancellation or the issuance of a POPLA/IAS code.
Pre-drafted and ready to submit to the independent adjudication service. When the Stage 1 rejection arrives, enter your verification code and send this submission. Independent assessors uphold the law and order the PCN cancelled.

Private parking operators rely on contract law. To hold the registered keeper liable for the driver’s alleged breach, they must strictly follow Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA). If the operator fails to deliver the Notice to Keeper within 14 days, fails to include mandatory statutory wording, or fails to prove who was driving, keeper liability collapses entirely.
Absolutely not. In the UK, there is no legal obligation on a registered keeper to identify the driver to a private parking company. This is the cornerstone of our defense. Every document we draft is strictly written in the third person as the registered keeper, ensuring you never inadvertently surrender your statutory protections.
Most private operators (such as ParkingEye or Euro Car Parks) use automated systems that reject initial keeper appeals. This is standard industry practice. When they reject your appeal, they are legally required to provide a 10-digit independent verification code (POPLA or IAS). That code unlocks Stage 2 of our pack, where independent adjudicators dismiss the ticket.
We take on the risk. If you submit our Stage 2 appeal to the independent adjudicator (POPLA or IAS) and they uphold the charge, we immediately refund your £7.99 fee in full. All we ask is that you submit on time and follow our golden rule: never name the driver.
If your notice arrived by post (via ANPR cameras) and the notice was issued more than 14 days after the date of the parking incident, the operator has missed the statutory deadline under PoFA 2012 Schedule 4 paragraph 9(5). They have permanently lost the legal right to claim keeper liability.
The keeper defence is designed for personal vehicle owners on the V5C logbook. If your car is leased or hired, hire companies often pay charges automatically and recharge you an admin fee. Our free assessment screens for this upfront and will advise you before you spend a penny.
