PPS PCN - What to do next??

Hi

Got a windscreen PCN on Monday from PPS - Premier Parking Solutions.

Parked in one of the bays around the outside.
Put a 6 hour payment (£3.50) into the machine.
Returned after 3 hours 20 minutes to discover the PCN.
Signs high up on wall indicated that bays 1-11 are 'short stay bays' (for 3 hours maximum only). We didn't see these on arriving.
£100 charge reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do next?

I've been reading MSE and forums, not sure whether to appeal to PPS before 28 days / wait for NTK / ignore !

TIA

    Wait for the notice to keeper which must arrive in between days 29-56 after ticketing. If your vehicle is a company/leased/hired one, you probably should appeal now. Is this England or Wales ?

  • Sorry, I'm in England. Not a company/leased/hired car.

    Thanks for your replies so far.
  • Hi,

    Should I still wait for the NTK even if on the notice issued it says 'If you wish to appeal you should submit this in writing within 28 days from date of issue?'

    Thanks

    Yes it was a ticket on the car, so wait until the Notice to Keeper arrives, don't be tempted to do anything until it arrives. Trust us on here we have seen this thousands of times.

    But they all say that.

    The windscreen ticket is for the driver to appeal (all explained in the sticky thread already linked, as to why it is usually better to wait and appeal as keeper).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
