DSA Doncaster Airport Parking Charge Notice from VCS

Thank you Redx. I had indeed read about VCS being in the IPC, however, after looking on their website, they do still accredit the BPA (or at least the BPA emblem is displayed), and therefore I assumed their rules would also apply. I can assure you it is not because I have not read the information, quite the opposite, I've already spent most of my weekend reading and writing about this; any errors I've made are because I am finding it hard to understand and it is for this reason that I am asking for help. You liken this to learning to play football - I would say it is more akin to learning a new language, and a beginner could not go from having no knowledge to having full knowledge in this short space of time. Like you, I also learned to write at school, and I am perfectly capable of producing my own letter (as I'm sure you can appreciate from the draft I have copied below). I have not merely copied the template in the newbies thread, as I want to understand what I am writing, but I have used/adapted parts of it and used a similar layout, as clearly the experts on here know what they are talking about and it would therefore be foolish for me not to follow the example given. So, the point I am trying to make, is that I appreciate your help (and that of all others who have responded) but politely request your patience please.

Thank you for pointing out the two additional points to include, I will ensure to add these to my email.

I have also read on the ICS code of practice about a 'grace period'. Could this be used in my favour in this instance? The 3 photos on the PCN each have a time stamp, and the time duration from the first image to the last is less than one minute - ie hardly sufficient grace time for me to have left after stopping. Or, could the grace period be considered part of me leaving 'the site' as a whole (ie 'the site' = car park + approach roads) on the basis that I had paid for parking and was therefore still in the process of leaving 'the site'.

Regarding Peel Holdings, I called Doncaster Airport initially to find out to whom I should address my complaints (assuming they were the landowners), and it was they who informed me that it was in fact Peel Holdings. I then tried to call Peel Holdings but they are closed at the weekend. In hindsight, I see that I am better not to telephone anyway, and will address my complaint to Peel Holdings in writing and as the RK.

Umkomaas, I am doing exactly as you suggest, putting in the leg work myself and requesting the help of regulars. I realise there is no "silver bullet", but, like any newbie, I am in need of a 'leg up' to get me started. Your help is also appreciated.

Thanks, I had seen the pics from prankster but as far as I know these were taken a while ago before VCS shifted to IPC so I cannot be certain they are still the same, I've never seen them with my own eyes!

Same applies for the Liverpool signs, I don't think I should use pics that aren't even from the same airport.

Thanks for the link to successful appeal though, I'll read that thoroughly.
