Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi folks,
I have received a parking charge from PCS where the reason for issue is Exceeded the allowed limit. The allowed limit was 30m and I was aware of it and I was below that. I have proof of that from my Google Maps History, Waze and the BMW travel history. I was only about 20m.

What is the best way to move forward and appeal?
Do not disclose who's the driver? Upload the screenshots proving that the driver did not exceed the limit?

Below some pictures of the parking charge and the sign.

Thanks everyone for your time and help.

Please read https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/ and repost the PCN without all the obscured dates and times.
There is no “period of parking” on the notice (their waffle about this being the period preceding the time on the notice won’t do) which seems key if they claim you parked for longer than “allowed” and is a requirement of PoFA 2012 to transfer liability from the driver to the registered keeper, so don’t identify the driver as you say.

Thanks for the reply. Do you mind I ask why would it be relevant to know the dates and times? I was trying to make it as most private as possible :|
Thank you.

Adding the picture with all the dates now.

So I got a reply from PCS informing me as that they have rejected my appeal as the registered owner.<br>

Reasoning: Battersea Reach SW18 1TP is private land and is subject to a parking management scheme put in place by the operator at the landowner’s request. There are specific terms and conditions in place as part of this scheme, which are displayed on the signs in place at the site. These signs have been installed in clear and prominent positions.<br><br>On 01/04/2026, the vehicle was parked for longer than the time permitted. This was a breach of the terms and conditions and the PCN was correctly and legitimately issued as a result.<br><br>Please find attached the photographic evidence for the parking Charge.<br><br>

Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the motorist to ensure that they seek out, read and comply with the terms and conditions of parking that are in place. By parking on site in breach of these terms and conditions, it has been agreed that the charge detailed on the signs will be paid.<br><br>

I appreciate that this may not be the desired outcome, however, you have now reached the end of our internal appeal process.

In the above reasoning PCS states "the vehicle was parked for longer time permitted" however the pictures they have now shared with me the car is not parked in a bay but it is moving in the middle of the lane, actually going over a zebra cross.<br><br>

As part of the appeal I have shared with them the screenshots of the car's GPS stating when the car started and finished journeys clearly showing that the driver was less then the permitted time (PCS hasn't still informed what is the permitted time. The driver recalls it was 30m.). In addition I have added on the appeal the screenshots from their website where there was no evidence available on the website. They have only showed it now on their email rejecting the appeal.<br><br>

What should be my next move? Pay the fine? Making an appeal to POPLA with the code provided? Thanks.
