Wanted to check this is okay before I send it.
Dear Sir/Madam,
A heartfelt plea for your kind consideration is being made regarding a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) issued by Euro Car Parks concerning the vehicle registration .....
This matter has recently escalated to a final notification for an outstanding amount, and the individual hoping for your intervention sincerely wishes you might be able to extend some kindness in this situation.
It has unfortunately come to light that all previous correspondence concerning this PCN, including the initial Notice to Keeper (NTK), was sent to an outdated address. This genuine oversight meant that the individual responsible for the vehicle was entirely unaware of the PCN, or any preceding communications, until very recently. It is acknowledged that while the driving licence was updated with the DVLA, the V5C (log book) for the vehicle was regrettably overlooked at that specific time. Immediate action has now been taken to rectify this with the DVLA.
It is important to convey that there was every intention for the vehicle to be parked in accordance with regulations, and a valid parking ticket was indeed purchased for 4 hours. The alleged discrepancy appears to stem from the time taken to find a suitable parking space upon entry to the car park. It is common practice for motorists to be afforded a reasonable observation period to locate a space before purchasing a ticket. During this time, active efforts were being made to find an available bay, and importantly, a young 5-year-old child was present. For the child's safety, it was imperative that they not be left unattended, particularly while moving around or before safely parking. As soon as a space became free, the vehicle was safely parked, and the ticket was immediately purchased. The delay was thus a direct consequence of the car park's occupancy and the necessary process of safely locating a parking bay, especially while ensuring the safety of a young child.
As a single parent, the unexpected demand for £170.00 represents a substantial and significant financial burden. This amount is genuinely difficult to manage and would cause considerable hardship.
A compassionate consideration of this matter is respectfully requested. Given that there was genuine unawareness of the PCN until now due to correspondence being sent to an incorrect address, and considering the circumstances surrounding the purchase of the ticket, it is believed that it is fundamentally unfair that the opportunity to challenge the charge was initially denied.
It would be immensely grateful if you would be able to use your discretion as landowners to have this Parking Charge Notice squashed. Your kindness and understanding in this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
