    As advised above and the Newbies sticky have you complained to the landowner (Plan A):-

    Always complain to the Retailer very quickly. This is 'Plan A' :

    Depends what the amendments are. ?

    They certainly won't provide any CCTV 
    Just the PCN and taking out the bit where I state I will sue if they get my information from DVLA. So my template will be as follows..

    "Dear Sir/madam

    Re: PCN No. 66666666666

    I challenge this 'PCN' as keeper of the car.

    I believe that your signs fail the test of 'large lettering' and prominence, as established in!ParkingEye Ltd v Beavis.!Your unremarkable and obscure signs were not seen by the driver, are in very small print and the terms are not readable to drivers.

    There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. You must either rely on the POFA 2012 and offer me a POPLA code, or cancel the charge.!

    I do not give you consent to process data relating to me or this vehicle. I deny liability for any sum at all and you must consider this letter a Section 10 Notice under the DPA. You are required to respond within 21 days. I have kept proof of submission of this appeal and look forward to your reply.

    Yours faithfully,
    Joe blogss

    Or argue your case in court if a claim is issued in the next 6 years ( as Grizebeck inferred. )

    No appeals are going to work with an overstay 

    Plan A remains the best option here right up until a court claim is issued 

    You only have to pay it if a judge said so, in court

    That I had overstayed longer than what was allowed .they referred me to the company and said to contact them as they have. Nothing to do with them

    So what re the steps besides going to the landowner,as that's a fail. Do I just ignore the PCN ?

    Your choice, you can appeal it if you wish but an overstay will be a breach of the parking contract on that private property so will be rejected ( after that it is likely that POPLA will state that the PCN was correctly issued too. )

    Beavis overstayed on a free to park time limited private car park, he lost in court 9 years ago 

    There are no winning steps, unless you have a good legal point to make in court , so why are you wanting to know about next steps. ?  What do you hope to achieve by appealing. ?

    If the surgery are saying its not their problem, then perhaps they are not the Landowner. ?
