Forgot to ask for new permit

Alice___

I rent my parking space from another tenant in a private rented block of flats. I didn't realise my permit expired in Nov and received a ticket on my window in Jan (this had no info of the parking charge, just info for the company). I now have the right permit that is valid from Nov before the ticket is dated, do I have grounds to appeal?  
I still haven't received a letter from the parking company but I called them and they say they have sent a letter last week

Which parking company?  Do you still have the ticket they applied to your windscreen?  Can we see a copy please - just cover any identifying detail like your vehicle registration number?

It's VCS. I don't have a picture of the other side but it just had the date on it. I've still got the ticket but not with me at the moment

That's not a parking charge.

Have you received a PCN in the post?  Is your V5C showing your current postal address?

Alice___

Not yet but they said its been posted and yes

Appeals do not work. It is a farce.

Get the Managing Agents to cancel it immediately.

Remind them that they can cancel a % of PCNs under the standard  VCS contract and if it costs them a tenner to cancel it,  then offer to pay that to the MA.
