Windscreen Notice Not Actually Issued
If operator claims a windscreen ticket was issued but you never received one, they must prove it was affixed to your vehicle. Without proof, they must rely on NtK-only route with its 14-day deadline.
Legal basis
POFA 2012 Schedule 4, Paragraph 6-8 regarding Notice to Driver requirements.
How to identify this in your case
If you found no ticket on your vehicle but they claim one was issued, demand CCTV/photographic evidence of ticket being placed.
Sample appeal wording
I did not receive any windscreen notice on my vehicle. You claim one was issued. Please provide evidence - specifically CCTV footage or a photograph showing the attendant placing a notice on my vehicle [REG]. If you cannot prove a Notice to Driver was issued, you must have complied with the Notice to Keeper-only provisions under POFA 2012 Schedule 4 Paragraph 9, including the 14-day service deadline.
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
