I have also attached the photo of the back of the PCN and some photos of the signs. I would be grateful if someone could advise how the appeal should be worded. Thank you.

Two things

• It is our experience, but of course not our guarantee, that APCOA never goes as far as a court claim.

Title: APCOA PCN - No Permit - Loughborough University

Upon entering the car park, the driver found a space and parking was paid for on the app. There were separate signs saying parking could be paid for on the app, and another saying permit holders only. The driver mistook this to mean that you could park as a permit holder or pay for parking.  Please could you advise of the best way to appeal this? The registered keeper received a PCN today in the post.
