I will check newbies thread thanks.
it was the old general hospital site of the newcastle hospitals trust. I don't still have the ticket and it was just a pay and display machine no reg number needed. The only notice i have is the one received today with pictures of my car included!

Is it this one?

https://www.northumbria.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/getting-to-us/north-tyneside-general-hospital

or here?

You also missed another sticky thread which has these two links (from the Successful Complaints about PPCs' thread):

#1 NORTH TYNESIDE GNL HOSPITAL FACILITIES MANAGER & PARKING EYE - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4763643

#2 NORTH TYNESIDE GNL HOSPITAL FACILITIES MANAGER & PARKING EYE - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4768887


Always read the sticky threads on a forum first. The advice is here already, even if yours isn't that exact Hospital you could have read exactly what to do, in the sticky threads at the start. Should be easy to complain about to the Facilities Manager and if not, then appeal as per the other sticky thread 'Newbies read this first'.

This is the Newcastle General which has recently been renamed Campus for Ageing and Vitality

What a ridiculous name!

So it's Newcastle Hospitals NHS not Northumbria (which has North Tyneside general as part of it)

OK - I did think as much! It doesn't change the advice we've both given though. The complaint just goes to the Patient Relations Manager or the Facilities Manager, and/or to PALS as shown in the 'Successful Complaints' sticky.

I've made a start on this trust with an FOI request and I've also posted on patient opinions.... https://www.patientopinion.org.uk/opinions/134567

I would write to PE telling them when you entered the car park, when you left and ask them to check their records in case you made a mistake on entering your Reg No.

I would keep it polite, give them all the facts and ask them to cancel once they confirm you did buy a ticket or if not, send you a POPLA code.

PE are actually one of the best for cangelling under these circumstances.

You can do the other suggestions in parallel.

Ian Hislop been at it again?

I had great faith that someone would make an Ian Hislop joke in this thread. I was not disappointed.

The redactions as ever are a joke but the OP should be interested in the dates - signed on Feb 4th, therefore no authority whatsoever when they received the fake PCN

you can certainly use the wording on the website in your favour should you ever need to;

http://www.newcastle-hospitals.org.uk/hospitals/newcastle-general-hospital_how-to-find-us_car-parking.aspx

which says;

Penalty Notice Scheme
Please note that the Trust operates the above system in managing its estate and car parks. If you park inappropriately you may be issued with a penalty notice and fined.
To avoid being issued with a penalty notice please observe the signs placed around the site and the following ‘good practice’ guide when parking on site.

• Do not park on double yellow lines or hatched areas
• Only park in a designated space
• Park in an appropriate space eg not one that is allocated for other vehicles
• Do not cause an obstruction to traffic or access to a building by parking inappropriately
• Display your ‘blue badge’ when using disabled parking on site

Interesting that they say that you will be issued a PENALTY and FINED.

Just realised that the contract date in fact says 2013. I think this in fact might be a mistake but have nothing to back that up.
