Horizon are likely to reject the appeal but POPLA should uphold it if so.

Have more faith in yourself!

..I just received this email from Horizon:

'Dear Appellant,
 
Parking Charge ref: Hidden
 
Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the above Parking Charge , which we have reviewed.
 
I can confirm the Parking Charge has now been cancelled and no further action will be taken in this matter.
 
Please note that once the Parking Charge is cancelled the contact details are removed from the Parking Charge and will not be retained for any purpose or shared with third parties.  We are, however, required to retain images and appeal correspondence for a period of 2 years by DVLA and 3 years by the BPA and are not therefore able to delete these from our system. You can review our privacy policy at https://horizonparking.co.uk/privacy-policy/ or you can request that a copy is sent to you in the post by contacting us at the address below, if you have any queries regarding your data.
 
Yours sincerely,
Horizon Parking'

I don't suppose they get more straight forward than that. Thanks very much for your help b789! 

I received this PC (I note it's titled Parking Charge not Parking Charge Notice?) on Friday 11th October for an overstay of 31 minutes outside the permitted 30 minute parking period.

The issue date is 1st October, date of breach was 27th September. I received this 10 days later, which seems very slow to me.

As registered keeper I approached the Tesco Express duty manager (store manager not present) yesterday explaining that although they had to pick up their child from the nearby school where dedicated parking is non existent, the driver was a customer in store that day (there is evidence of this via online banking), but they said they do not have the power to get tickets cancelled.

Is there any grounds for appeal?

Thanks in advance, any advice is appreciated.
