As you were in a van, were you there on some sort of business with/for Sainsbury's? If so, a good first step would be to speak to the management of Sainsbury's and ask them to intervene.

Yes told them I am the driver as I am not the registered keeper and need to do the appeal myself as it's a company vehicle.

Have added original PCN and taken out name and address. Thanks.

Can you post the original PCN?

Do you want to leave your name & address visible?

Hi,

I have received a PCN for being inside a private car park for being 1 minute and 8 seconds over the 10 minutes free parking. I have appealed the ticket stating that I was parked for under the 10 minute allowance but because I was driving a LWB van and it is a small car park it took me a long time to park.

Unfortunately I no longer have a copy of my appeal, apologies. But it didn't say much more than what is written above.

They have replied with the document attached. I have now missed the £20 reduced fee. I would ideally like to make an appeal to POPLA but not certain what laws I have actually broken.

Could anyone give me some advice please?
