My father parked in a security Bay at our local out of town retail site that they had been shopping to let my mum to use the nearest toilets (disable badge holder)
He stayed in the car at all time waiting for her to return, then it happened at home he got a parking charge from ( new generation parking) He appealed giving the reason and they rejected it but gave him a popla code .

    Read the Newbies thread, it's all in there.

    It would be worth finding out who owns the retail park and complaining to them.

    Asda usually use (not so ) Smart parking in their car parks, if you dont mind giving the location away others ( and myself ) may be able to do a little bit of digging online to find the site owner.
    As long as your being honest, truthful and you are not making things up or saying stuff that could be twisted by the parasitic parking company - ( PPC )

    Also dont think of it as an appeal this makes it sound like you have done something wrong and committed an offence its far more accurate to use the word Challenge.
    Re parking charge notice #xxxx As registered keeper I am challenging your speculative invoice....
    sounds better than: Re parking charge notice #xxxx I wish to appeal the Parking charge....

    Good grief. You could try the land registry. You could try asking in the shops there. You could put a bit of effort into it.
