Presumably there were no other documents sent with the NTH?
-
Update: Turns out the operator didn't neglect to follow up on this occasion :o . The driver has received a Notice to Hirer.

*Page 1 is identical to the original, only difference is it now says notice to hirer and date issued/date payment due amended.

Thank you very much. The driver has told the company they will submit an appeal once the NtH arrives. Will keep you updated on how it all goes!

You can tell the lease company to follow the instructions on the NtK.
Tell the lease company that you will be appealing once the NtH arrives.

Thanks very much!! Understand that the suggestion is to wait for the Notice to Hirer to arrive as the driver cannot appeal until they have notice in their name. However, should this be communicated to the company?
There is concern around the below bullet points from the company's initial email (apologies meant to include in original post!), where the company have said they will pay if they receive a 2nd notice and no confirmation of action from the driver.
- "If you do not accept liability please appeal to the issuer directly. Instructions on how to appeal are included on the attached notice. To enable you to speak to the authority directly we have attached a Third Party Authorisation letter. You will need to send this letter with your appeal. Please let us know if you submit an appeal as failure to do so may result in the notice being paid".
- "If you take no action and [the company] is served with a 2nd notice and we do not receive confirmation that you have paid or appealed this, we will settle the fine to avoid late fees, and pass the cost on as usual to your employer with a £10 admin fee for deduction from your salary."
Should something like the following be communicated to the company?
Draft email: "Thanks company, the driver is waiting to receive Notice to Hirer, as the driver cannot appeal until they have notice in their name, in the interim and in light of bullets 1 and 2 below, the driver requests that the company does not pay to settle the fine[/pass costs on to employer] even if a 2nd notice is served."
//
Remainder of bullets in email for context/in case helpful:
"If you accept liability, please make payment. Information on how to make payment can be found on the attached notification.
If the discounted amount is not available, please wait until the notification is reissued to you at home from the authority, when the discount period will then restart.
Please note we are unable to appeal on your behalf as we are not the driver of the vehicle."
-
No problem.
You are now waiting for the Notice to Hirer to arrive.
At this stage the parking operator will **** up and not provide you with the additional documents which POFA requires to transfer liability.
You cannot appeal until you have a notice in your name.

Hi all
New here and wondered if there was any way to appeal this EuroCarPark Sainsbury's Ilford Roden Road Parking PCN for overstay? If yes, is it likely to be a long and protracted process (conscious the driver has childcare demands on their time)?
Very inexperienced - so any help greatly appreciated. Further details and PCN can be found below - thanks in advance!
Additional information
- Overstay was due to child becoming ill on the way back and needing the toilet to be sick.
- The car is on a long term lease, the lease company forwarded the PCN which was addressed to the company to the driver and has said:
"We have contacted the operator to request a transfer of liability of this contravention to [the driver, so that [the driver] can manage this [...] with them".
- They also attached a third party authorisation letter (eurocarpark address top left) which says "the above vehicle is on long term lease with [company] and the nominated person [diver name, address, details] above has full use of the vehicle".
