    Understood! Thank you for the quick responses. Your advice is gratefully received as always! We regular folk don't have your vast knowledge for context here, remember. Members of the public like me who are new to this site and subject genuinely and routinely believe that when we get tickets, we have to pay them. You'd be surprised by our lack of knowledge in these circumstances. 

    I will read the relevant areas / ECP threads / Newbies and start my own new thread, with a first attempt in blue. 

    Thank you! (I was literally about to pay this one too).

    Nosferatu1001 - Arrived 0953 hrs departed 1651hrs. Hadn't intended on staying there that long.
    'Hadn't intended on staying there that long' - what, almost 7 hours?  Did you perhaps have a second coffee in their cafe?  You need to think carefully about what you're going to say to Morrisons! 
    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.

    Nosferatu1001 - Arrived 0953 hrs departed 1651hrs. Hadn't intended on staying there that long. Sounds like you're saying don't pay it (even though I did overstay)?

    Fruitcake - Not sure what you are referring to? Nobody has revealed any drivers identity? 

    Coupon-mad - I have the NTK / PCN here and it states "Location: Morrisons - Acton" FYI. No retail park in this scenario, just a supermarket in Acton town. You're suggesting write directly to Morrisons? 

    All - it sounds like you're all saying don't pay it - even I felt like I didn't have a case this time. However, you all seem confident that it is worth fighting? (On a new thread Fruitcake, promise!)
    You told the world two separate dates in your post at 12.35 which is enough for the scammers to identify the PCN. From that they can then identify the keeper, and from one other piece of information you posted, they can identify the driver.
    Just because you don't understand or believe what I have said does not mean I am wrong.

    Only ever refer to The Driver and The Keeper, who are two different people.
