POFA & Keeper Liability
The parking company may only hold the registered keeper liable if the original notice complied with Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4, or if it can prove who was driving.
Dispute keeper liability, do not identify the driver unless you deliberately choose to, and ask the claimant to explain exactly how liability is said to transfer to the keeper.
Notice to Keeper, Notice to Driver if any, envelope or posting evidence, original PCN dates, appeal correspondence, and any documents showing when the notice was received.
Liability is denied. No admission is made as to the identity of the driver. If keeper liability is alleged, strict proof of full compliance with Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 is required.

A Letter Before Claim is not a court claim, but it is the warning stage before one. Responding properly can dispute the debt, request evidence, and put the case in the best possible position if court action follows.
The sender may issue a county court claim. If you then miss the court deadline, a default CCJ can be entered.
The dispute is put in writing, evidence is requested, and weak or inflated claims can be challenged before proceedings start.
The sender may cancel, pause while evidence is gathered, or decide the claim is not worth issuing.
