Reading through that it looks like they havent got a clue.
the page is headed up
Fines
it then lists
1: Penalty charge notice
there are several offence types that give rise to potential action and subsequent fines, some examples of offences are:
- parking where prohibited
-over staying a free parking period
-stopping in a box junction
-driving in a bus lane
-failure to pay congestion charge
where Alphabet pays a penalty in order to prevent escalation of costs , this will be recharged to the customer / hirer
and on it goes.
a private parking charge falls outside of this as
1: it is not a fine or a penalty therefore the whole document is not valid
2: its not a penalty charge noticeFrom the Plain Language Commission:

Thanks half way - I think I need to educate myself some more on this. I am clear that this isn't a "fine", but my assumption was that it is a penalty charge notice (the letter from CP plus titles it "Charge Notice"), I need to look up the different between a PCN and a private parking charge then I think.0

Apparently the fact that PCN has the same initals as PCN is just a co-incidence.
likewise that parking charge notices look and sound similar to penalty charge notices this is all an amazing co-incidence or at least thats what I think the BPA said, not intended to cause confusion at allFrom the Plain Language Commission:

I think Alphabet need to completely rethink their T and C when it comes to parking charge invoices, but not sure how collectively we can get that to happen.
I bombarded them with emails when I thought I was going to receive a parking ticket (camera) and they kept reiterating how they would pay it when received even though I was asking them not to
turned out the ticket never arrived so i didnt get to test wether they would have paid or not0
