Carflow PCN notice.

Hi,
Just wanting some quick advice on whether it is worth appealling a PCN notice I received.

I paid for 2 hours and yes I was 20 minutes late due to my mother being discharged from hospital. When I got back to the car and realised, I went on the app and tried to extend my parking but was unable to. Probably stupidly, I left thinking it would be fine.

Do I have any leg to stand on as there was no option to extend the parking after the fact on the app I originally got the parking on?

Reason on the PCN is "The motorist did not pay for sufficient parking in breach of the terms and conditions of the car park."

    Send a genuine appeal being honest.
    I find they are a company individual appeals worm

    Yes don't use a template. Write explaining.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
