Car park securities 4 minute overstay

Posts: 20 Forumite
Hello again!
Three years ago I challenged and won the battle, and here I am again. I have another PNC for an overstay of 4 minutes. I have evidence on my parking app of the time i paid for and the letter from them which says what time I left. I moved house last month and i guess I must have missed the initial letter, as I now have a reminder that has come via redirection and was apparently posted on the 4th of August, which means of course, i have missed the window to appeal. Given the fact that we're talking about a 4 minute overstay, well within the grace period, and that a house move lead to me missing the appeal period, should I contact them? Or should I just kick back and wait for the PCN dance to begin?
Thanks in advice!

@Carmel73
Did you go and pick up the missing PCN from your previous address yet? We'd like to see it but not the reminder and not the laughable £170 threatograms that follow!
It cannot be for 4 minutes overstay. Impossible.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

You have left a PCN number showing.2

(2)The notice must—
(a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;
There is no indication of how long the overstay was, which is exactly why the legislation requires it if they want to hold the keeper liable.
Could have been 1 second for all you know going off the letter.

OP
Could you please give us the "in" and "out" times on the photos.3 -
From the times on the photos it looks like i entered the car park at 12.07 and left at 13.19, it seems it took me 8 minutes to buy a ticket, could they be trying to get me for being 3 minutes over the consideration period?1

Wondering if I should ask them to reopen the appeal window based on the fact I didn't get the letter.1
