Camden Parking Charge Notice, help please and thanks.

Options
Hi there.

My mother lives on a Camden Council estate. I parked in her parking bay behind her. It is like a parking area where residents park (with my vehicle) as I was helping her with groceries and get home safely, I got a Parking Charge Notice (NOT a Penalty Charge Notice).

Note: The gates to go into this parking area were completely open and the signing for the resident parking cannot be seen when driving in with a vehicle at all, it is a tiny green sign.

This is weird as the PCN starts with CD? Not the usual CU? I was only up and down the stairs for 10 minutes and got the ticket. Is there any grounds to appeal this? Or shall I just  go ahead and pay the fine? Thanks.

    All it says on the PCN is "Camden", so I am assuming council.

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

    I would say that it's council,  not private,  so take your queries and pictures over to the FTLA parking forum website and ask there,  after studying their posting requirements first

    Yup H10 is parking in an area designated for estates or residents.

    Does the fact that refers to parking charge notice rather than penalty charge notice make a difference?

    And similar thread on FTLA although doesn't come to a conclusion

    Yeah I am not entirely sure, I found this thread, https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5681765/parking-charge-notice-from-camden-have-valid-permit-but-not-displayed, where @Coupon-mad you gave some input, would that be the same advice for this?
