Bristol Airport Parking

Please can I ask for some advice?

I attended Bristol airport on 2 May 24 and stopped at a temporary traffic light. At the time my partner exited my vehicle and entered the terminal whilst I remained in the car and the traffic control light red. I received a charge notice 2 weeks later showing CCTV footage of my partner getting out of the vehicle and a notice stating “illegally stopping in a restricted zone”. I appealed cheekily, stating I was at a traffic control light and was unable to move - The truth. 

I received further correspondence from them dated 18 June 24 (6 weeks later) advising me of an administrative error on their part. The new notice now states “stopping to pick up/drop off in a restricted zone”. 

I am asking if I can appeal the new notice as it exceeds 14 days?

Date of event: 2 May 24
Issue Date: 18 June 24

Whilst I accept I was wrong at the time, I can’t help feel the company is changing the rules for financial gain?! 

The company is named VCS Ltd. 

Please help. 

Regards.

    As you have unfortunately revealed who was driving then POFA schedule 4 is in the bin and doesn't apply at airports anyway, so there is no 14 days deadline 

    VCS had 6 months to obtain keeper details and one month to get the PCN to the keeper 

    That law doesn't assist an admitted driver

    But it's extremely easy to defend and win.

    Read other Bristol Airport VCS threads and firstly complain to the Airport.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
