Highview Parking Charge: charge for payment in 14 days is higher than that for 28 days

Hi

Highview have sent me a parking charge, issued on 5th May 2023 in which they state:
the payment of £60.00 [sic] is required within 28 days from the date of this charge. We will accept the reduced sum of £100.00 [sic] if payment is received within 14 days i.e. before 19/05/2023
Yes, the charge is higher if I pay earlier. What to do? Is this some kind of trick, or just a screw-up on their part?

Thanks in advance

    Sometime, PPCs make an "error" in the hope that you will phone them and admit to being the driver, which weakens your case against n on-POFA PCNs.  Since you will be paying £0, I wouldn't worry.  Wait for a Letter of/before Claim and in the meantime, search the forum for other Highview issues such as this one: -

    Screw-up by them.

    But irrelevant, because Highview don't use the POFA, you will win on appeal anyway by using @Grizebeck's Group Nexus trick appeal.

    Search the forum.  Job done.
