Overstayed by 11 minutes

Just received a PCN for an overstay of 11 minutes on a 2 hour retail park.  It was just before Christmas and horrendously busy. 

Any thoughts?

    Yep, you won't be paying; read the NEWBIES FAQS pinned Announcement thread and try PLAN A first.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Thanks. Struggling to navigate it at the moment on my phone.  Can only appeal to IAS
  • Plan A - complaint to the retailer… In this case there are multiple retailer on the business park

    Odd. I am on my phone and the breadcrumb trail that the coloured writing in my signature tells you to click on, is right there at the top.

    ...and re this (below) you obviously complain to the site agent or any of the businesses.  The entrance plinth probably identifies the managing agents.

    Oh I can see it (hence I could see Plan A) but on a phone the thread isn’t at all well optimised.

    It’s been 3 weeks so I’m guessing it is too late to go that route

    You misunderstand. I have just revived the notice via a leasing company. The PCN was for 22 December - hence why I said 3 weeks.

    That's right - I didn't understand a leasing company was involved.
    That makes it an entirely different situation.

    Are you saying that all you have received is a copy of a PCN sent to the leasing company?
    If so, then you need to be reading that part of the opening post - towards the bottom of that post - of the NEWBIES thread that discusses appeals to leasing companies.

    Doesn’t seem to apply as it was neither a company car, corporate lessee or a windscreen PCN. Therefore the advice seems to be to appeal.
