Parking eye mitigation

I have received a PCN from Parking Eye. I have read the guide's and found them very useful.

The guides all say not to add any mitigating points however I feel it would be vert beneficial in my case

I was recorded as entering the carpark at 8:45 and leaving at 3:45, what they didn't record is me leaving at approx 9:10.

I have proof that I was at work from 9:30-3:00 would it be worth adding this (in doing so it would prove I was the driver rather than just the keaper)

    Just appeal as normal, as keeper. PE will likely cancel the PCN when they see the forum appeal.

    If you feel you MUST, you can add an appeal point:

    x) The driver has proof that the vehicle was not at this site for the times noted. It entered at approximately 08.45 and left at approximately 09.10. From 09.30 until 15.00 the vehicle was at the driver's place of work.

    Q: Did the vehicle return to that car park after 3pm? (I assume so, else how could an exit time of 3.45pm be detected?)

    Simply state, "the vehicle made two visits on the day in question. Your ANPR is clearly defective. Please check your records."

    PE are well known for "double-dipping" events such as this, they know it, they know their systems are faulty, but they persist because it makes them money. One could call it fraud; I couldn't possibly comment.

    Add this appeal point. Its NOT mitigation. Its proof no breach of their terms was actually committed
