Parking Eye - Advice

Hi all,

I've read through the sticky and I still have a few questions.

I have received a PCN through a parent (I am a named driver on their car) for a parking event in Poole (The George Hotel). I was sat in the car the whole time while my brother ran across to the shopping centre, time was 19:30 so it turned out all of the shops were closed.

The notice says that I stayed for 14 minutes which I do not dispute, I would just rather not part with £60/£100. I am pretty safe on the PE car parks usually and I specifically look out for them as a couple of family members have been caught out, this one didn't seem to have visible PE signs from what I can remember.

The issue here is that I am in the process of purchasing a property and while I'd love to save £60, I'd rather not have my mortgage invalidated with a CCJ.

From what I understand, the process should be as follows:
Appeal to PE (They reject)
Appeal to POPLA (They approve/reject)
Potentially get served with court papers?

    Appeal to parking lie using ALL the points in the Template in the Sticky thread for NEWBIES. Make sure you don't reveal who was driving, and don't miss any deadlines.

    I have just won my POPLA appeal against a PCN from the same cowboys at the same location.
    You should find the template I used on another thread if you click on my other posts :)
