Times parking Gatwick APPEALED

So I received this today after appealing online, am I bound to pay this now?

Issue date: 15/07/2026
Thank you for your appeal received on 13/08/2026 regarding the above detailed Parking Charge, we have reviewed your case and considered the comments you have made. Your appeal has also been considered in conjunction with the evidence gathered at the time of the contravention. Our records show the notice was correctly issued as your vehicle was in breach of the Terms and Conditions.
As this charge is not being pursued under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, we are not relying on the statutory keeper liability provisions in Schedule 4, so its specific conditions do not need to be met. In the absence of driver details, we rely on the principles considered in Elliott v Loake (1982) when assessing, on the balance of probabilities, who was driving.
We are therefore unable to cancel the Parking Charge as it was issued correctly. We have now extended the discounted payment period by a further 14 days to allow you time to pay the discounted settlement amount. Please now make payment of £60 to reach us by 11/09/2026 or £100 to reach us by 25/09/2026. We must advise you that once the discounted settlement rate passes it will not be offered again.
Payment can also be made using a debit or credit card on our website; https://gatwick.zatappeal.com OR you can also pay using our Automated Payment Line: 03330230907
You have reached the end of our internal appeals procedure, Times24 UK Limited will not assess further appeals in relation to this matter.
However, in line with our Accredited Trade Association (ATA) membership we are required to provide you with an Independent Appeals Service. If you believe this decision is incorrect, you are entitled to appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) provided by International Parking Community (IPC).
If you choose to appeal to the IAS you will lose the ability to pay the charge at the reduced rate and the full amount will apply.
In order to appeal, you will need your Parking Charge number and your Vehicle Registration, which can be found within this letter. Appeals must be submitted to the IAS within 28 days of the date of this letter/email. Please visit www.theias.org for full details.

Please read https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/ carefully and post the documents that it asks for.

You're not "bound" to pay anything and "Elliot v Loake" is an invalid point they make, which you'd find if you searched this forum, but you really need to give us some background here as well as copies of documents.

You should appeal to the IAS knowing that it costs the parking company something like £23, even though it’s likely that the IAS will reject your appeal. I sugest you post a draft appeal here for comment.

It is likely you will receive a county court claim to which you will need to file a defence, and again by searching the forum you will see that the majority of similar claims are discontinued if properly defended. We can provide advice on the defence in due course.

It’s unlikely you will need to pay anything but it will take several months to work through the process until the case is discontinued, and you need to stay on top of the process until it is.

Basically, I received a PCN some time ago and appealed it, stating that I am the registered keeper of the vehicle. At no point did I identify or indicate who the driver was at the time of the alleged parking incident.

They subsequently responded requesting a photograph of my driving licence in order to establish whether I was the driver. I replied explaining that I am not legally required to provide them with this information and that I had not identified the driver.

I have used a template from Reddit that was found on this forum to appeal

Pl don't describe, post the documents required. Read the guide on how to do this. Do not attempt to transpose documents.

A photograph, they are on a fishing exercise.
You refer to a template from Reddit, was this for the initial appeal to Times?

I do not have the first letter it was lost whilst I was moving, only have the most recent one which I have already copied and pasted
