Excel Parking In Stockport

Hi there. I just arrived home and found an opened letter stuffed through my mailbox alongside my usual mail.
I opened it up and its a parking charge notice from excel parking with photo evidence now.
On the day in question I got delayed serving a customer so someone was waiting for me for over half an hour. They never left the car and now Excel are demanding £60 which is more than I earned for working the extra day! what should I do?

Could you confirm the wording on the letter? Is it entitled "Notice to Owner"? If so, and the ticket was issued on the basis of CCTV (i.e. ANPR) camera evidence then they have failed to deliver it to you within 14 days of the offence (the day of the alleged infringement counts as Day 0) as required by the Protection of Freedoms Act. This means that they will not be able to pursue you as the keeper. You should edit your post to remove the date and details of the timing etc of the alleged parking. Basically take out the first sentence of you last paragraph. Private parking companies scour this forum.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).

I think today (Monday 10/6) is the fourteenth day. I think I've used the right number of fingers in my calculation

The Act requires that the notice is delivered within the "relevant period" which, in this case, is 14 days. On the fourteenth day is not within 14 days which actually means no later than the thirteenth.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).

It just says " Parking charge notice" it says they have gone through the dvla and my details were found as the registered owner. It says they issued this notice on the 10th day after the "offence" but it only arrived today, opened up, on the 14th day after this happened. It says I have 14 days from the date of issue to make an appeal.0
