thank you Brown trout , are you 100% that I as the company owner will not just be passing this on to myself , if I say it was me driving, I don’t want to have to pay someone else’s fine ?     So I say it was me and I didn’t leave the site and ask for an appeals number to apply to ias to get it quashed 

Yes i know the site well and done this shall we say a few times (at this site) its also local to me.
Just do an appeal as the driver and ask them to decline the or accept the appeal

I agree with BT if it was a passenger that left site and the driver didn't, they haven't got a leg to stand on.

Not that they are likely to take a leaving the site scam anywhere anyway due to past history of this type of ruse, predominately the "toothbrush case" LOL

I went on to the payment site and it’s only got pictures of the vehicle , in a parking spot , nothing of the vehicle entering the site or who was in it

I’ve not paid it , but it says you have to appeal in writing , surely if someone observed someone leaving site they would need the video evidence of the person driving actually leaving the site , what’s to say the original driver didn’t get out earlier and a passenger parked it and left

It is most unlikely that a judge would agree that this contractual term is lawful in most cases anyway

Without photos of anyone 'leaving the site' (whatever 'site' means - clue there for you!) the PPC is shafted.  They have to prove their case, and they can't do that with unsupported allegations. 

They're just chancers, I'm sure this will go no further than silly letter threats.

They never ever do provide evidence it's just a money making add on scam.

If an attendant saw someone leaving the site against the rules it can be argued if the ppc is contracted to stop rule breaking he should stop the leaving of site.

The other consideration is that the signage in these cases needs to map and define the site boundary otherwise how do you know when you have left site.
