I have just received a PCN (dated 17/10/2017) from parking Eye for a 13 minute overstay dating back to July this year. Am I correct in believing that there is time limit for these notices to be issued and that in this case it has expired? So therefore the notice cannot be enforced? Thanks.

Yep, search the forum for Golden Ticket and laugh as you win!
DO NOT ignore it. PE would pursue you anyway and it will cause you stress to face court.
Beat it at POPLA, easily, using the template appeal shown in the NEWBIES thread, or Redx's version, or Edna Basher's version (both specifically written for Golden Tickets). You will find those versions on 'Golden Ticket' threads from this week.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

They cannot now pursue you under POFA as the registered keeper. But they can still pursue you as driver. Burden of proof is on them to show that on the balance of probabilities you were driving.Although a practising Solicitor, my posts here are NOT legal advice, but are personal opinion based on limited facts provided anonymously by forum users. I accept no liability for the accuracy of any such posts and users are advised that, if they wish to obtain formal legal advice specific to their case, they must seek instruct and pay a solicitor.0

Well my first appeal has been rejected so I guess I now need to appeal to POPLA. I will try and find the templates referenced above. Thanks.0

Have a read of SharkMan’s thread because your case sounds very similar to his. Note especially how he argued the Grace Periods point.

Although, if you’ve not identified the driver, then the ‘Golden Ticket’ really is your golden ticket- and there’s a link in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #3 to cover how that should be argued. SharkMan had already admitted to being the driver, so was unable to rely on PoFA and his Golden Ticket. .Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

Jon400, you will win a Golden Ticket POPLA appeal, easy easy easy!
Sharkman's version plus the all-important other two appeal points:
- the NTK was not a POFA version and arrived too late for keeper liability, and
- the appellant has not been shown to be the individual liable (driver) << this one is a template in the NEWBIES thread
