Just received from the leisure centre:QuoteI can confirm I have contacted Horizon and we have waived this parking fine for you.Main lesson learnt here is not to procrastinate Thanks for the replies and encouragement - when I realised I couldn't easily appeal I was 95% resigned to paying it

Quotethe nature of the situation...Accidental overstay - we've been a loyal customer of the leisure centre for many years. Use it weekly for multiple children's swimming lessons, football etc. On this occasion we'd booked tickets for an event held in their grounds (inflatable obstacle course). There was an issue with the equipment/generator, which meant our slot was delayed, and eventually cancelled. I believe the overstay was 19 minutes.Quoteshouldve been plan A but i dont think it’s late to try so try it asap.I will get something over to them now, bearing in mind my tone.

Actually, I can't even make the appeal QuoteThe below Parking Charge Notice was issued to the driver/registered keeper, and a subsequent reminder letter was also issued.As per the British Parking Association’s (BPA) Code of Practice, Point 23.7, the time to challenge the charge has expired.Please refer to your Final Demand Letter.That's a lesson learnt. But I haven't received any further correspondence about this, so not sure how to proceed.I guess it might be worth a strongly worded email to the leisure centre chain where the breech took place?

Quoteis there a reason you haven't appealed before now?A mix of head in the sand about it, and other aspects of life getting in the way.Will the delay likely affect the chances of success?

I received the following NtK from Horizon:I understand some of their more recent NtKs are now POFA compliant, but unsure if this one is.Would the following be a suitable appeal?QuoteDear Sirs,I have received your Parking Charge Notice XXXX for vehicle registration mark XXXX, in which you allege that the driver has incurred a parking charge.I am appealing this notice on the grounds that I have no liability for this matter as the registered keeper of the vehicle.I note from your correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act"). You have chosen not to issue a Notice to Keeper in accordance with The Act, and it is now too late for you to do so.There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not be doing so. As I have no liability for this charge, I look forward to your confirmation that my appeal has been accepted and you will not be seeking to recover this charge from me.Yours
