Named Driver - Not the Keeper

If you provide the name and address of the person who was driving, liability shifts to them under POFA 2012.

Legal basis

POFA 2012 Schedule 4 Paragraph 5 - creditor must not know driver's details for keeper liability to arise; Paragraph 9(2)(e)(ii) - keeper may provide driver details.

How to identify this in your case

If someone else was driving your vehicle, provide their details to transfer liability.

Sample appeal wording

As invited by the Notice to Keeper, I am providing the details of the driver at the time of the alleged contravention: Name: [NAME], Address: [ADDRESS]. I was not the driver. Please redirect all correspondence to the above individual in accordance with POFA 2012 Schedule 4.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
