I have been sent a Parking Charge Notice for use of a car park. My mother was driving my car at the time, and has retained the ticket that she bought to use the car park. NCP have sent me a Parking Charge Notice for "parking without payment of the parking charge". The ticket covers a 24 hour period on the day in question, but the car was only parked for approximately 3 hours.
I have started to follow NCP's online appeals process, but it is asking me to confirm that I was the vehicle's keeper "when the contravention occurred". (See link below for screenshot of their website). If I choose this option, am I inadvertently admitting that a contravention has occurred? I was/am the keeper of the vehicle, but no contravention has occurred, as a valid ticket was purchased to park the car.
