Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, NW Car Parks must serve a notice to keeper within 14 days of the parking event or of obtaining keeper details from the DVLA. If NW Car Parks missed this deadline, the parking charge notice may only be enforceable against the driver, not the registered keeper. This is one of the most common defects and one of the most effective grounds for challenge.

Ignoring a NW Car Parks parking charge notice usually leads to escalation. NW Car Parks will typically send reminders, pass the debt to a collection agency, and may eventually file a county court claim. Responding early keeps more options open.
