Parking charge APCOA hassocks station
Hello,
Newbie here. I have read the threads but unsure what the course of action should be.
A Parking charge at Hassocks station was left stuck to the drivers side window for not paying for parking.
There is no evidence the driver paid but as the app was glitching & could not be logged in to they do not have ‘evidence’.
This is the parking charge attached.
unsure if due to wording on the ticket it can be appealed by the keeper of the vehicle?
Nothing has been received in the post and currently 16days since window ticket received.
Any help really appreciated.
thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
Wait for receipt of the Notice to Keeper (NtK) which should be received between 28 and 56 days after the parking event. You then check whether the NtK is PoFA compliant before deciding your next step.
Do some preparatory work by reading the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, post number ONE, and post number THREE.
The bottom line on this is that you won’t be paying APCOA a penny, they are probably the most benign of all the country’s private parking operators.

Or appeal on day 26 as per the advice in the NEWBIES FAQS thread (no link needed or given).
Either way, NO SAYING WHO WAS DRIVING because that's what wins.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Thank you so much!
I will definitely do some more reading.1 -
APCOA seem to be one company who are consistent in issuing a NTK even when a windscreen ticket is appealed

As we see so few windscreen tickets these days, I completely overlooked the 26 day strategy. Must be getting old! 👴🏻

Although they claim that a Notice to Owner will be issued.

Good luck trying to find the owner!
