PCN Premier Park Ltd

I've recently received a PCN from Premier Park Ltd in the post.  The PCN arrived 7 days after the alleged incident.  There are photos of my car, but no windscreen notice was issued.  Their T&C's state that the car park has no connection to the adjoining pub, of which I am a regular customer.   I have yet to respond to the letter.  I had no idea that the car park was active, let alone on a bank holiday morning and stayed for 14 minutes with no payment.  I am being asked for £100 which I think is excessive.  Is there any way out of this?!  I've read the newbies section, but unsure of my position and what I should do next?  Thanks in advance!

    Send the appeal template in blue text from the first post of the NEWBIES. Send it unaltered from the keeper.

    Read up on what to do next if/when it is rejected.

    Get pics of the site and signage. If the driver had permission to be there, the keeper should complain to the landowner.

    Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP., it can cause the scammer extra costs, and in some cases, cancellation. 

    Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up later this year,

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these companies, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

    Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.
