Thanks for replies, really appreciated @dx100uk I was honest, never thought they reject without even reading ... As this is a minicab I'm the only driver allowed to use the vehicle under my license so I didn't want to complicate things any further ... @renegadeimp It was ANPR and notice in post @silverfox1961 Never had to stay there longer than 1 hr before. I'll go back and check signage later

Thank you for your correspondence relating to your Parking Charge Notice (PCN). ....... The PCN was issued and the signage is displayed in compliance with The British Parking Association’s Approved Operator Scheme Code of Practice and all relevant laws and regulations. Clear signs at the entrance of this site and throughout inform drivers of the 4 hours maximum stay at this site, and it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that they allow enough time to remove their vehicle from the premises within this time limit. The fact that you were unaware of the restrictions that are in place is not considered a mitigating circumstance for appeal. In light of this, on this occasion, your representations have been carefully considered and rejected. We can confirm that we will hold the charge at the current rate of £100.00 for a further 14 days from the date of this correspondence. ---------- You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure. Although we have now rejected your appeal, you may still have recourse to appeal to Parking On Private Land Appeals (POPLA), an independent appeals service. An appeal to POPLA must be made within 28 days of the date of this letter. POPLA will only consider cases on the grounds that the Parking Charge exceeded the appropriate amount, that the vehicle was not improperly parked or had been stolen, or that you were otherwise not liable for the Parking Charge. To appeal to POPLA, please go to their website and follow the instructions. If you would rather deal with this matter by post, please contact our Appeals Office and we will send you the necessary paperwork. Your POPLA reference number is:xxxxx (...) 7 Who is the parking company? Highview Parking 8.
