Horizon Parking Ltd - Pay and display

Hi,

Hoping for some guidance please.  I've read the newbie FAQ and "think" I have this right, but wanted to check:

Car is leased.  Lease company have advised me of the PCN and also advised Horizon that I am the hirer.  I have advised the lease company not to pay and that I am appealing.

It is a pay and display car park.  The driver bought a ticket and displayed it.  The driver no longer has the ticket, but does have evidence via a credit card statement that the appropriate amount was paid to Horizon Parking on the day in question.  I do not believe there was an overstay.

The PCN Issue Reason is "Failure to Pay for the Full Duration of the Stay".

The PCN includes the following wording:
"This Parking Charge is given to you under Paragraph 9(2)(f) of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and is subject to our complying with the applicable conditions under Schedule 4 of the Act."

Using the FAQ section I have drafted the following to use to appeal the PCN.  I'd be grateful if someone could confirm this is the best wording to use, before I submit:

"I dispute your 'parking charge', as the hirer of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. Since your PCN is a vague template, I require an explanation of the allegation and your evidence. You must include a close up actual photograph of the sign you contend was at the location on the material date as well as your images of the vehicle.

The allegation concerns a PDT machine, and therefore the data supplied in response to this appeal must include the record of payments made - showing partial VRNs - and an explanation of the reason for the PCN, because your Notice does not explain it.

If the allegation involves an alleged overstay of minutes, your evidence must include the actual grace period agreed by the landowner.

In order to resolve the dispute I attach a screen shot from the driver’s credit card app showing that payment of £4.90 was made on 21st August to Horizon Parking Limited."

Many thanks in advance.

    You can only appeal once you have received a NTH to your house. Has it arrived?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Ah, no it hasn't. Only had the email from my lease company with a scanned copy.  Once it arrives is my wording ok?

    Many thanks.
