Helping daughter with an Excel PCN

musey

Hi All

Firstly thanks to those that have created the various stickies and guidance threads. I'm helping my daughter who has just recently passed her test and started driving solo. I've read the 'Newbies' thread and think I have it correct that she should use the template first appeal, the wording for which is kindly provided. 

Essentially she paid for 1hr of car parking and was 19mins late in leaving the carpark (ANPR). She was helping her grandad shopping.  The parking was on 04/06, the issue date of the pcn was 11/06 but it didn't arrive with us until 19/06.  From my reading i don't think the dates give us anything that makes the PCN invalid.  

So on the basis that she did park and was late back is it worth appealing? I suspect I'll have to nurse her through the process and don't want to set her off on a track that won't bear fruit, but equally the thought of lining the pockets of the issuer holds no appeal either.

Thanks all

Frankly , she should complain to the landowner and get it cancelled , plan A, not plan B

yes quite right, we're trying to work out who the owner is at the moment.  Its a carpark for multiple shops and its not easy to establish who the owner is

Not on the usual units sign at the entrance?

Does it not say on the notice or parking restrictions?

No, it would never say that on any notice from the 'outrageous scammers' (Hansard 2018).

if its a retail park, you want the retail park managing agent, the landlord, or landowner

Excel are not going to cancel the PCN, regardless of what is written , no template appeal will resukt in a cancellation, its not going to happen, so dont expect the almost impossible to happen

only plan A will work, if she was a legitimate customer
