10 minutes over!

Hi everyone
I received a parking fine letter from the car park of my local ALDI.
Frustratingly I am only 10 minutes over and having done some research I am aware that you are supposed to be allowed an extra 10 minutes. Is the fine therefore invalid?
I do have a receipt for this visit also, the time of which is 4 minutes before the time they recorded me leaving the car park.
What would be the best way to approach this please?
I have tried to add an image of the letter below the am
Unable to do so as a new member.
Many thanks
Sarah

At the top of this board is a thread that tells Newbies to read it first. Post 1 of that thread has instructions on what to do and has a template letter to send.

Is this Parking Eye.
Regardless, complain to the CEO as a customer
to get this cancelled, enclose your receipt
ALDI UK
Mr Giles Hurley Chief Executive Officer
Email gmd.cs@aldi.co.uk
A strongly worded letter should suffice.
Let us know0 -
Thank you and sorry. I saw that but wasn!!!8217;t sure whether I should go down the route of only being 10 minutes over, or using the receipt as proof I was indeed shopping there.
Thanks

Their code of conduct says to allow a grace period,
normally 10 mins in and 10 minutes out
As a customer you have a right to complain0 -
I have emailed the CEO as suggested, thank you for your help.

Well make sure you get it in writing/email from Aldi and the parking company you seem unwilling to name.0 -
Or look up your PCN on PE's website tomorrow or Monday, and see if it says £0 to pay.
Always, always, complain to the retailer first about a PPC fake fine.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
