Hi,The lease company is Santander consumer contract hire. Yes they are a member of the BVRLA. Below is what they have emailed me. “As the fine has now been paid on your behalf, there is nothing for you to do as the fine value and the administration fee will be taken by direct debit. Details are also provided on the invoice that will be sent to you in the post.Formal grounds on which you may make an appeal are detailed on the notice via the hyperlink above. For your convenience, we have attached a third-party permission letter which you must enclose with any correspondence you send to the Issuing Authority, this will allow the authority to liaise directly with you. Should you be successful, please forward your cancellation notice to us and we will issue a refund to you via the Direct Debit bank details we hold for you on our system.If your appeal to the Issuing Authority is rejected, depending on the membership of the Issuing Authority; you may be able to take a further appeal to either POPLA or the IAS.If the Issuing Authority is a member of the “British Parking Association” (BPA) then under the provisions of the BPA you are entitled to make an appeal to POPLA within 28 days of the PCN issue date (https://www.popla.co.uk/).

What steps can I take next?

Hi,I am looking for some advice before appealing a parking ticket that I have received.I am not the registered owner of the vehicle as it is a leased vehicle, the fine has already been paid by the lease company at a reduced rate of £60 from £100. They have also charged me £30 admin fee as this the the leasing T&Cs. I arrived at the car park at 11.09 on 07/09/2024 paid for the parking using RingGo at 11.13 for 3 hours at £4.70 so I had until 14.13. I left the car park at 14.20 so essentially 7 minutes late and this was because I had a baby with me and they needed to use the potty in the car so we were delayed leaving slightly but we were back to the car on time. What is the best approach for me to appeal this ticket as surely I am due a grace period and will it impact that the fine essentially has already been paid.Thanks
