Apologies if this hasn't been done right...

Returned from holiday to find a NTK.
Date of sending: 15th September 2025 (according to the letter)
Date received: 24th September 2025 (confirmed by Daughter)

Date of "offence": 11th/12th July 2025 (as shown on the letter)

All of the received paperwork can be seen in the "links" below:

The registered keeper's name was also on the paperwork, which has been redacted.

This paperwork came after 9 weeks of the alleged "offence", and the reason for issue is "Overstaying Maximum stay Period".

Having just returned, I can see that the 14 days for reduced payment has now lapsed, if we consider the date of sending.

Is there anything that can be done?

Below are 3 "links" to the car park signage -
The 1st is inside the car park.
The 2nd is on entry and mentions "Please see the signage inside the car park for full details" - There isn't any !
The 3rd image, with T&C's is on the other side of the road to the car park, at the entrance / exit to the Shopping Centre...

Can you please advise on the validity of this Notice, and the next steps?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Yes - it's out of date for keeper liability.

CC yourself in, and keep a close eye on your spam folder for their response. If they do not respond within the promised timescale, chase them.

Is this due to the delay (i.e. 9 weeks) in sending the NtK?
I've looked at Schedule 4 and I can't pin-point the exact Paragraph this statement refers to - Is it 5(2) ?

9(4) and 9(5) - any notice that is to be relied on as a Notice to Keeper must be delivered within the relevant period - the relevant period is defined as "the period of 14 days beginning with the day after that on which the specified period of parking ended". 9 weeks is clearly far longer than that.

In addition, do I need to supply my name in the reply, i.e. after "Yours," ?

If you're the person the notice is addressed to, yes.

Equally frustrating is that the vehicle in question in no longer owned.
It was sold the month after - (not that it would matter in this case).

The only relevant matter is who the registered keeper was at the time of the event. Whether the vehicle has subsequently changed hands is irrelevant here.

This PCN has now been cancelled.

Many thanks to @DWMB2 and @InterCity125 for your valued response's and assistance with this.

Keep up the good work
