What we check

Was the Notice to Keeper delivered inside the statutory window (14 days by post; days 29–56 after a windscreen ticket)? If not, the keeper is not liable.
Does the letter contain the wording Schedule 4 requires?
Was the overstay inside the mandatory 10-minute grace period?
Signage, keying errors, the £100 cap, add-on “debt recovery” fees, duplicate charges, Blue Badge duties, residential lease rights, Scotland & Northern Ireland (no keeper liability).

What we do not do

We are not solicitors and this is not legal advice. We do not predict or promise an outcome — the operator and then POPLA or the IAS decide on the evidence. We do not handle council Penalty Charge Notices (a different, statutory process). If your facts give limited grounds, we say so before you pay.
