Excel parking fine notice

Options
I parked in an excel car park in Stockport, when returning to my car after 36min I suddenly realised that I'd forgot to buy a ticket 2 weeks later I've received the £60 fine letter!!! Should I ignore as I actually didn't purchase a ticket???

    Nope don't duck out of it - do not ignore - as the signs at the Peel Centre are still absolute pants and there are lots of grounds for appeal.

    See this thread (not the bit about the fact it's a lease car, just the fact it's yet another one at the Peel Centre):

    Like on all the other threads on this entire parking forum, just send a short challenge at first, not saying who was driving, as discussed & linked here:

    Come back when you get your POPLA code but you may have to reply to Excel a second time as they are SHOCKING at telling lies and saying you have to name the driver...which you DO NOT.

    In fact you could cover that in your first appeal if you word it well, saying summat like 'This is my appeal as the registered keeper in response to your letter. I do not have to name the driver so don't waste your time and mine with a non-compliant letter pretending I must name the driver. Cut out the tricks and send me a POPLA code or cancel this fake PCN because your signs in the car park are as bad as they were when you lost in Court against Martin Cutts and your Notice to Keeper is flawed too. I look forward to explaining more at POPLA stage at your expense, or you can cancel it. If you do send me a random letter demanding the driver's name I will send a copy of it with an official complaint to the BPA and the DVLA AOS compliance team. You are obliged by law to consider my appeal as the registered keeper.'
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
