I believe they only sent the PCN itself and not the other required documentation, such as the hire/lease agreement—though I’ll fully confirm this tomorrow. I plan to use…

Excel Parking - 13 minute overstay charge St Marks Lincoln
A little help here please. 2 hours parking was paid and displayed in advance and a NTK charge was sent for what I assume is an inaccurate accused overstay of 13 mins.
