Elite Parking Management PCN

Options
Hello, I’ve read the Newbies chat regarding appealing against these PCN’s. However, I just wanted to make sure to double check I have grounds to appeal. My Grandparents parked in Eddington 10 days ago, in a ‘free’ hour bay, however they didn’t see in another area of the sign that they needed to “register” on JustPark for the free hour of parking, which subsequently resulted in a parking officer issuing them a PCN which arrived two days later in the post (pictured). At 89 years of age, they don’t have smart phones so registering online via an app is very foreign to them. They told me they hadn’t even taken their phone out with them that day, and with no machines in sight, they thought they were fine to stick to the free hour rule, which they did. I feel it’s unfair for this charge to be impeded on them when they adhered to the free hour of parking, but understand that the private parking company may not feel the same, so any advice on this moving forward would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Ignore them except for one appeal that YOU put in online for your grandparent (the keeper named in that letter).

    Do it in their name but with your email address (no phone number) and as part of the appeal state that their current address for service is GIVE YOUR ADDRESS BUT NOT YOUR NAME (as long as your address is long term).

    Tell your grandparents you've appealed it and they'll hear no more.

    YOU then receive the rejection letter - addressed to the keeper but posted to your address - and you can either try POPLA in their name or just ignore the £170 threatograms seen in the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread.

    Grandparents will hear no more.

    NOBODY PAYS.

    NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
