    if this was a windscreen ticket, wait for an NTK in the post, then appeal that NTK, keep all paperwork, DO NOT REVEAL who was driving , to anyone


    IPC member, so no proper appeal route anyway

    Please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #1 to learn how to deal with this. Please note it will be your father in law who will have to deal with it - although you can do the work for him, but it will have to be done in his name.
    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. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    So it wasn't a pay & display car park, then. A residential site, requiring a visitor's permit.

    he got a ticket however are were no signs to say that he would need to pay, how he would pay or any paying machines.
    There wouldn't be, of course not, as it wasn't a pay & display car park.

    theres no information on their website on how to appeal it or any pictures of the car.
    There will be photos of the car, whether or not they let him log in and see them.

    Why was he parked without a permit, was he there just minutes?

    Have you now read NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST?

    Please don't say it's hard to read...no, it isn't, just read it and do as shown.

    Why have you not answered CM's question in post number 4? We cannot help you unless we have the full picture.

    Get your MP on side, they are now very familiar with these scams. Get your MP on board, they are totally on your side.

    On 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these private parking companies. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, and persistent offenders denied access. Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers.

    Until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

    http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2019/8/contents/enacted

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

    The windscreen PCN would have had appeal details on the back, they always do.

    The keeper can certainly still submit the usual template from the NEWBIES thread now.

    Darkside, wake up.

    Your most recent post is incomprehensible. Punctuation would help.

    If you are going to continue to use a mobile phone, at least have the courtesy to read your post before submitting.

    Upload your image to your favourite webhosting site, imgur is one, tinypic another, but there are many more, then post a link here.

    What was the date of parking? And on what date did the NTK arrive?

    Are you saying that there is no way of paying to park on the driveway? Driveways aren't usually used as car parks as far as I know! It'd be interesting to know what that high sign says, could you stand on a chair and take a photo? And if you don't want to put it on a hosting site, then just write exactly what the sign says in a post on here.

    If you're going to appeal, use the blue template on the Newbies' thread - it's in the section headed 'Appealing a private PCN (England & Wales ONLY)'

    But if the parking situation is as peculiar as it sounds, perhaps the experienced regulars would recommend adding something to the template ....?

    As ParkDirect is an IPC member, the appeal is not likely to succeed and that will be the end of the appeal stage. I don't see much point in appealing unless the circumstances are really unusual.
