NCP - Parked in incorrect space

Hi all,

I am in the process of submitting an appeal for my wife who has picked up a PCN from NCP for parking in a non-parking space. Within the car park, some parking spaces (and they are full size marked out parking spaces) are painted red to indicate they are a walk way. Some of the spaces have a pedestrian symbol painted in them, some spaces do not. My wife parked in a red space that did not have a pedestrian symbol painted in it.

I have already submitted the initial appeal to NCP from the newbies post, not admitting who the driver was, and they have sent us down the POPLA route. I have just missed the 28 day deadline, but reading on other posts we actually have 33 days which we are still within. I now need to put together the POPLA appeal.

Is there anything specific I should mention in the appeal other than the standard space not clearly marked, signage not clear etc.?

Thanks,

BL

    NPC or NCP?

    POFA version NTK or not? (see my NTK images thread).

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Doh! NCP (post updated). I would say it is a POFA NTK comparing to your images.

    Are you certain? That's the unusual version.

    And - think again - which one (in my NTK pictures thread) do you think that matches? Clue: Look at the front page wording...!

    I still think it looks like the first/POFA worded one (assuming I'm looking at the correct post? - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80392948/#Comment_80392948).

    I guess I'm missing something glaringly obvious?

    "(ii) we do not know both the name of the driver and the current address..." bit?

    To me it's obvious at forty paces - like a spelling mistake, it jumps off the page - but we've done this stuff for years!

    Think about the 'Please be warned' paragraph - you can see it matches my non-POFA image. What's different between the warnings in my two images?  You can see it!
