Thank you both so much for replying so promptly! I did wonder about the ten minute grace - does this apply to private car parks too? I know it's applicable to council parking but wasn't sure with this. 1 Date of the infringement 31/03/21 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 13/04/21 3 Date received 19/04/21 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?

Hello! I have received a PCN for £100 from Vehicle Control Services LTD. Issue date was 13/04/21 and for various reasons I have not got around to sorting this out yet. The reason they are giving for my PCN is that I was parked for 129 minutes (120 minutes allowed in this car park). Feeling extremely frustrated as I made every effort to get back to the car in time but packing two babies and everything that comes with them into the car can sometimes take longer than expected. Surely 9 minutes is not worth £100, especially when it was during the day when there were many other spaces available! Please can someone advise, as I am past their advised appeal deadline. Thanks in advance
