Your “appeal” seems fine to me.
Expect it to be rejected along with spurious nonsense reasons but it’s the first step along the path to getting this resolved for £0.
Essentially most of these companies will lie in order to extract ££ from their victims.

If the Notice to Hirer was not accompanied by
(a)a statement signed by or on behalf of the vehicle-hire firm to the effect that at the material time the vehicle was hired to a named person under a hire agreement;
(b)a copy of the hire agreement; and
(c)a copy of a statement of liability signed by the hirer under that hire agreement.
as well as a copy of the original Notice to Keeper then, if the driver is not identified, the hirer can not be liable.

Search the forum for a sample appeal on this basis.
Post it here if you’re unsure.
how is this please
I am the hirer of the vehicle and I dispute this Parking Charge Notice. I deny any liability or contractual agreement.
There will be no admission as to who was driving and no assumptions should be drawn. I am under no obligation to identify the driver and I will not be doing so.
As this is a hire vehicle, UK Parking Control can only transfer liability to me as hirer if it has fully complied with Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, including paragraphs 13 and 14.
Your Notice to Hirer was not accompanied by the documents required under POFA Schedule 4, namely:
a statement signed by or on behalf of the vehicle-hire firm confirming that, at the material time, the vehicle was hired to a named person under a hire agreement;
a copy of the hire agreement; and
a copy of a statement of liability signed by the hirer under that hire agreement.
Paragraph 14 requires these documents to be provided alongside the Notice to Hirer. As they were not supplied, UK Parking Control has failed to comply with the strict requirements of POFA Schedule 4.
As a result, you cannot transfer liability to me as hirer. You may only pursue the driver, who has not been identified.
Please cancel this Parking Charge Notice.
If you reject this appeal, please provide a POPLA code and a full explanation of how you believe UK Parking Control has complied with POFA Schedule 4 paragraphs 13 and 14, including evidence that all mandatory hire documents were served with the Notice to Hirer.

hello,
can this be contested? submitting this on behalf of a friend.
the driver believed they were not in a car parking area as they were stopped for a short period by the entrance.
can this be contested? 15 min grace period?
notice sent to leasing company first, then the keeper informed them and a notice to hirer has been sent in the keepers name NOT notice to keeper. notice to hirer delivered today.
Thanks
