    Alternative opinion. Don't call Excel, but knowing them, I would cover myself personally and create the evidence. 99% chance they'll send you a PCN.

    I would email them with this and you have evidence of reasonableness should you need it:

    "I am the Registered Keeper of AB1 CD2, which was parked at XYZ car park for 58 minutes.
    The vehicle QY7 ZX9 was mistakenly registered for 60 minutes, correct action was taken and then vehicle AB1 CD2 was registered for 120 minutes. Please update your records with this information. You have received a £10 payment for 2 hours whereas the vehicle was parked for 1 hour so you have made no financial loss, and the excess covers any admin fee.

    Payment proof attached."


    And your thought is to pre-empt any PCN by the Registered Keeper sending this though now?
    No. Await a PCN then send that.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
