    Best to check the Pepipoo forums they have a wealth of information, a quick search found the car park in question.. http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=77336
    Whilst interesting, it is worth keeping in mind that that Pepipoo thread/incident dates from 2013 - ten years ago.
    The whole parking playing field has changed a lot since then.

    Assessor summary of operator case

    The parking operator has issued the parking charge notice (PCN) due to not displaying a valid pay and display ticket.

    Assessor summary of your case

    The appellant has raised the following points from their grounds of appeal: • Noncompliance of the British Parking Association (BPA) Code of Practice in regards to grace periods. • The signs are not prominent, clear or legible from all parking spaces. • There is no evidence of landowner authority. • There is no evidence of the period parked and the Notice to Keeper does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) 2012. • The parking operator has not shown the individual who it is pursuing is the driver who maybe liable for the parking charge. After reviewing the operator’s evidence, the appellant expands on their grounds of appeal.

    Assessor supporting rational for decision

    I find in favour of the appellant and allow this appeal, below I will explain my reasoning. It is a parking operator’s responsibility to demonstrate to POPLA that it has issued a parking charge notice correctly and that the parking charge is therefore owed. In the present case, the appellant has challenged landowner authority. Having reviewed the operator’s evidence pack, I have seen no evidence that it has the authority. As a result of this, I am therefore unable to determine that the parking charge notice has been issued correctly. Accordingly, this appeal must be allowed. While I acknowledge the appellant has submitted further grounds of appeal in support of their case, as I have allowed this appeal for other reasons, I do not consider it necessary to consider them further.

    Thanks for your help all!

    Very good! Why did they bother? 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
