Private parking tickets / Re: Private PCN - Hospital Car Park

Yes, so my understanding is that the notice lacks the following, but please do correct me if I am wrong:
1. No clear “period of parking”
PoFA requires the notice to: “specify the period of parking”
This ticket shows: “First Observed” and “Issue Date”. But it does not appear to specify an actual “period parked”. A single timestamp does not satisfy PoFA Schedule 4 para 7(2)(a) requires the notice to specify “the period of parking to which the notice relates”
2. Missing explicit PoFA keeper liability wording
A compliant process eventually requires mandatory wording warning the keeper about liability transfer if unpaid. The notice says “the driver is liable”. But does not clearly contain the prescribed statutory wording associated with Schedule 4.
3. The creditor is not clearly identified
PoFA requires the notice to identify the creditor entitled to recover the charge.
The notice mentions ParkControl24 in places, but it does not explicitly state that they are “the creditor”. This omission is a common PoFA failure.
