Driver details disclosed - Smart Parking Ltd

Hello. I rent a car for my work, NTK was set to the business I rent from, forwarded to me and I appealed explaining the circumstances, I was dropping people off as part of my job, including a screenshot of the job I was on, No surprise the appeal was declined. It's an APNR system in operation. I did state it was myself driving, I appealed in good faith before coming across this forum. Now after reading through various posts and rules I understand I shouldn't have admitted it was me driving. The NTK is from Smart Parking Ltd and I believe it falls outside of regs but also that ship has probably sailed after my appeal. I did return to the site to take pictures of signage which might not be up to regs, I can post pictures if requested.

I have until Wednesday 14th May to appeal to POPLA. Where do I stand and do I have any chance of getting the charge cancelled?

Many thanks!

    Just use this text for popla That's the end of the matter 
    "This operator has no contract at this site to issue PCN's"

    Will be cancelled in due course

    Thank you, I will follow your advice, however on the signage in very small print it does say car park managed on behalf of The Parks Trust and online I can see something saying a 5 year contract was awarded in 2022.

    Not doubting your advice but just wanted extra peace of mind before submitting the one liner to POPLA.
