Civil Enforcement Ltd PCN

About 2 weeks ago, my mum was driving my sister's car and had parked in a Co-op car park for 1 hour and 15 mins. The maximum length of time for free parking in the car park is 1 hour as stated on a sign in the car park that she didn't see. However, there were also a number of other empty spaces left in the car park during this time. A photo was taken of the car as it was leaving the car park and my sister has now received a PCN from Civil Enforcement Ltd (as she is the registered keeper) with a photo of the car, demanding payment of £45 within 14 days, else it is raised to £90.
What action should she take?

Appeal to CEL using the template letter in post #1 of the sticky thread of coupon mad. Providing this is England or Wales , if not ignore! When they reject go to the second stage of appeal called popla, where we can help you win this.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

I find it rather surprising that as the Co-op is somehow being coerced by the PPC into paying off very old parking tickets rather than have the customer pursued, they still have CEL prowling their premises and still harassing their customers today. I thought they'd been given the heave-ho!
All a bit strange to me.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Hope you have realised we win every appeal to POPLA? This is easy - tell Mum.
Also what happened in the end with your other ticket that you were 'too late' to appeal, have the letters died out now?

P4Parking are a joke but I think they started ONE small claim recently and dropped it (could be wrong, I know it went nowhere).PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I do believe the co-op once had agro when PE used to scam there customers, you would think they may had learned there lessonPPCs say its carpark management, BPA say its raising standards..... we all know its just about raking in the revenue. :eek:0

A quick update on the situation:
- A letter was sent to CEL using the template in the NEWBIES guide within 28 days of the PCN being issued
- Recently received a response from CEL that the appeal was rejected with their justification on the points outlined in the appeal letter
- POPLA verification code has also been provided in the response from CEL
Should I now appeal to POPLA with the same points outlined in the appeal letter to CEL?0 -
You just use the examples about how to win at POPLA, from the NEWBIES thread.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
