From CAB One big problem the parking company has is to know who they hold a contract with. The important point is that, on the assumption there is a contract, it is between the parking company and the driver – not the registered keeper. Unfortunately, many people fall into the trap of following the ‘appeal’ process where they inadvertently identify themselves as the driver. If the driver is not known to the parking company, then who can they take legal action against? The usual method the parking company take is to request the registered keeper‘s details through the DVLA which they are allowed to do if they are a member of the British Parking Association  (the unregulated trade association for such companies). Each request costs them a small fee (£2.50). The parking company will then be able to write to the registered keeper. With the introduction of the Protection of Freedoms Act in October 2012 the parking company can invite the registered keeper to name the driver. If the registered keeper refuses to name the driver then the parking company may pursue them to whatever charge they were lawfully entitled to from the driver. If the registered keeper names the driver, they may only pursue them. See our keeper liability page for more details.
