Some additional context would be useful: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum guide

If your friend is up for a fight, then UKPC can usually be beaten - they use DCB Legal whose mode of operation is to issue court claims, then discontinue at the last minute if the case is properly defended. We can help with that if they're up for the effort.

Is it possible for your friend to post directly? Posting for a friend is always well-meaning, but there's the possibility of communication going awry.

Thanks for your responses. Friend is not tech savvy, so probably not ideal for them to post. I am in good communication with them.

Additional context: In their own words "I nipped in for two minutes and came out to find a ticket".

Will get some images of site later today.

The ticket was issued via CCTV and the post. Vehicle was left at 13:12, the time stated on the fine.
Hopefully will post images tomorrow.

It's pretty obvious that the evidential photo was taken by a human. However, you have still not answered the question about any other evidential photos they may have on their website.

It would be useful to know the exact timespan between all the photos they have.

So they only have evidence of the vehicle being stopped for 14 seconds.

They have until 18th November to appeal. What was the reason the driver decided to park at that spot?

Any appeal for this PCN is going to be rejected by both UKPC and POPLA. No one pays these though.

After a flurry of debt collector letters which we don't need to know about and can be safely ignored, a Letter of Claim (LoC) will be sent. Come back when that happens and we will provide the necessary response. Eventually a claim will be issued and we will provide the defence.

It is with over 99% certainty that this would eventually be discontinued early next year.

It really doesn't matter. No appeal will be accepted. Only a county court claim that is defended will result in this eventually being discontinued. Their modus operandi is to escalate with threats of litigation in the hope that the defendant is low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree and will cave in once the (imagined) pressure increases.

By the time it comes to them having to pay the trial fee, if the defendant hasn't caved, they will discontinue and move on in search of even lower hanging fruit.
