Saba parking fine... but no Saba sign!

Hi all, any guidance appreciated...

I was parked for a short amount of time on the approach road to Finchley Central station car park - exactly where the Mercedes is in this Streetview image (https : //!!!!!!.com/ycmjrhvy) - and received a fine for "Failing to display a valid staff E-permit". I previously had a permit but did not know when it expired (I still work at the company but in a different role so no longer entitled to it, hence couldn't renew). Regardless, as that is my mistake and happy to take responsibility, are Saba able to prosecute me given that there is no signage whatsoever from them in the area or the entrance to the area where my car was parked? Should I appeal on that basis? The signage is further down at the entrance to the actual car park (https : //!!!!!!.com/3a5278x3), not on the approach road.

    There is no risk of 'prosecution' from an invoice like that. This isn't a Penalty.

    I agree: as long it's not a lease or company car (and as long as the address on your logbook is up to date) await the notice to keeper in the post.
