Plan A is always the easiest way to get these cancelled.

Thanks very much for your prompt response @jfollows and @b789. As per your suggestion, I have raised this with the PALS and attached the email response back from the team.

You referred to a thread about an NCP operated car park but your PCN is from NPC.

As stated above, the land is relevant for the purposes of PoFA and therefore the Keeper can be liable... except that the "period or parking" referred to is not adequate to prove that the vehicle was parked for longer than the minimum consideration period. What that means is that the driver was not given enough time to consider the terms and conditions for a contract to have been formed.

Have you tried the PALS service of the hospital to get it cancelled? That should always be your first port of call for a hospital PCN.

Hospital car parks are not usually covered by bylaws but are private land, and therefore PoFA 2012 can be used for parking on the land.

The notice, however, may well not comply with the requirements of PoFA 2012 to transfer liability.

The IAS will not uphold any appeal.

This will go to a court claim, in all likelihood, which you will be able to defend with a good defence with advice here, and ultimately the claim will be discontinued.

Since you were at a hospital, did you ask PALS to cancel the charge for you?

Dear Fellas,

Hope all keeping well. I appreciate the good work you all guys have been doing. Recently I received a PCN through the post and after carefully going through the forum I challenged it according to expert's advice. I actually took the below topic and followed the advice accordingly (Topic: NCP - Not Parked Correctly - Crewe Railway Station Car Park) as it look very similar case to mine and I was running out of time of appeal so I couldn't managed to get opinion for my own case. I have attached the recent appeal I made and their reply for your reference. Could you please advice me how should I proceed now.
Thanking in advance

Regards
