Do you think this will affect the popla appeal I submitting against p4parking for a different unrelated incident?
Absolutely not.

Each parking charge should be dealt with separately.

it looks like it skipped a stage, I never got a NTO in the post before this.
It hasn't skipped a stage, NTO = Notice to Owner, applicable to council tickets, not private. The letter explains the stages, and says that a PCN was affixed to the vehicle. Of course, as it wasn't your vehicle, you wouldn't have received this. Having presumably received no response from the driver, they have now issued a Notice to Keeper, using the details of the (cloned) plates.
You have missed their 'deadline' to appeal, but this is of little concern. I would write to P4Parking (the alleged creditor) explaining that the car to which they have issued the PCN was not yours, and was instead bearing false plates. Provide them with a copy of any report etc. that you have from the police, alongside the crime reference number. Whilst I would normally recommend ignoring debt collectors, as they seem to be acting on behalf of the parking company at the Notice to Keeper stage, I'd be tempted to also send a similar communication to them.
Feel free to show us a draft before sending.

Hi,
I've had a recent case of cloned plates, and I've made a police report already. I got this letter from TNC, it looks like it skipped a stage, I never got a NTO in the post before this.
Also I've never visited where they claim I have. I don't think its a misread number plate, as I've had 12 PCNs from Haringey, that show someone has clearly stolen my plates.
Something to note is I do have another "genuine" private ticket from P4Parking that is actually for my car, for that I am following the steps outlined at the MSE forums. This letter is not related to that.
EDIT: I'd like to add, the letter is dated 19th June, but only came through on the 4th of July.
