Yeah having two instances together brings it to just under 30, from 19:46 to 20:13. And asking 110 quid for that discounted or 180 full is ridiculous.

Hopefully even when I named myself the driver I won't be in trouble. I am even willing to pay 1 of the notice but not two when it is clearly just within 30mins. Thanks for the replies anyway.

My first recorded time was 19:46:35 up to 19:57:46 which is just a bit over 10 mins. My 2nd charge was timesd 20:00:42 up to 20:13:31 which is 13 mins. Sadly two charges are outside the 10 mins leeway. And I did say I was the one driving. although on that appeal page It does ask you for initial, surname and address. Sadly I went and appealed before I went to the forums. Is there a way for me to just pay 1 of these charges which was my appeal to them. Or have a shot myself now?

1 Date of the infringement: 14/09/2018, 2 instances from 19:46-19:57 then again at 20:00-20:13 2 Date on the NTK : 11/10/2018 3 Date received : 12/10/2018 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [y/n?] N 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Plate Number 6 Have you appealed? {y/n?] post up your appeal] Y Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N 7 Who is the parking company? Smart Parking 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Exeter, Haven's Bank retail park My case is a bit weirder than the usual. I got back from work around 19:30 and in my street they were having a BBQ party so cars parked and no where for me to park. Good natured I asked them when will they finish and they said about 15 mins I went in the nearest retail park in our place about 30 sec drive and parked there, no other cars where parked (not knowing it was private). I then left the car park after 13 mins to go back in our street and the cars are still parked I gave them another leeway of 10 mins in which i proceeded to go back to the empty retail park (2nd time now) from 20:00 to 20:13 Got back and saw the party over and proceeded to park in my own street. Now 1 month later i received 2 parking charge notice from a private company called Smart Parking asking for 90 quid or 54 if paid within 14 days. I made an appeal stating what I said here but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I was going to contact them through the phone but they are not opened on weekends. Having revealed that I was the one driving the car, have I still got a leg to stand on? I can possibly survive the £54 parking charge but having to pay £108 for not even 30 mins max of parking on an empty car park is a bit too much I think. It also doesn't help that I didn't even see the sign that night stating it was privately owned I thought it was a bit misleading. The letters too small especially not visible when dark. Thank you for taking time your time to whoever is reading this.
