Time limits for appealing a postal PCN

Options
Asking for a friend I'm trying to help with this.

She received a postal PCN yesterday and is due to go on holiday early tomorrow morning. This is the first time she's been away since being Widowed just before Christmas, so you can imagine it's a bit of an emotional time. Is she OK to wait and deal with this when she gets back next weekend or do we need to get the ball rolling today? The notice relates to a stay in a hospital car park.

Thanks, M x

    She has 28 days if it is ANPR (postal). Or she can call Patient and Liaison Service at the Trust and get them to look at it - then go on holiday.

    It may even be sorted by the time she comes back. Call or send an email to PALS

    Yay - well done. I will add your success here as a link:

    Successful complaints about private parking tickets - how to get them cancelled! <<< CLICK

    THat's expectly what the NEWBIES thread tells people to do - complain to a retailer if a store site, and to PALS or the NHS Trust if NHS.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
