Received PCP no longer have ticket

I have just received a Parking Charge Notice ( addressed to husband as Keeper ) it is a parking Eye Notice stating
Arrival time 11:17:24
Departure time 14:42:16
Time in car park 3 hours 24 mins

This is all correct except for one thing , I actually paid £4 for 4 hours parking !!!! I know for sure as I had a hairdressing appointment and sometimes they are running late so rather than risk a fine I over estimate time !!!
Unfortunately as this on 30 June and only received this notice today
We don't have the parking ticket any longer .
Is there anything I can do as I don't want to hand over £100.00
( £60 if paid by 26 July )

Would appreciate any advice ( apart from telling me to keep parking tickets in future ! ) thank you in advance for any help

    Did you pay cash or by card - any chance of CCTV where you paid - does the invoice (it's not a PCN) say that you didn't have a ticket displayed? The timings you give suggest that they are from camera control i.e. they took a picture of you arriving and leaving - are you sure it was P&D and not time limited? I'd suggest going and checking out the car park, speak to the hairdressers etc. and see if you can get to the bottom of it before going through the newbies board on how to appeal.

    The advice is always - read the NEWBIES FAQs sticky thread first. It gives you your template appeal for this early stage and tells you to include receipts if you have them (or a screenshot bank transaction proving patronage of the shops if this is a retail car park).

    Also complain to the shops if this is a retail park with shops on site? The NEWBIES FAQs thread has a link to an tire new thread full of 'successful complaints about PPCs' mostly to Store managers and Head Offices of retailers, and landowner/agents of the retail site. They cancel these all the time when customers complain assertively about the harassment and demand with menacing threats of court.

    People with receipts can usually get these cancelled by PE but if not, then POPLA stage beckons so come back (DO NOT PAY) if you get a rejection letter and draw a blank with the complaint. Tell us which car park, not Aire Street Leeds is it?

    Do also tell us if you get it cancelled, as it helps other victims see that our advice does work.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Thanks for quick response , the car park is behind The Thistle Hotel in Poole
    Although it is nothing to do with them I have been advised , being run by Parking Eye . There are photos of my car on the PCN , what can I put in appeal as not having any proof of what I paid any longer it is their word against mine ?
    Paid cash , £ 4 in 4 X £1 coins
