       UKPC PENALTY CHARGE NOTICE - Grounds for appeal? 
   DIR By: prolingPCNs

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I have received an email from NHS Fleet Solutions stating that
       they have “today received and processed a representation for a
       parking charge involving your lease vehicle,” and they have
       included the PCN number.
       However, I have not received anything directly from UK Parking
       Control (UKPC).
       I looked up the PCN on UKPC’s website. The evidence photos
       include:
       -A very dark photo taken at 12:22 showing my car from the front
       in December 2025. The vehicle does not appear to be parked or
       positioned between bay lines — it looks more like it could be
       entering the car park.
       -A second photo taken at 14:18 showing my car parked in a bay
       from the rear.
       They are issuing the charge for “Parked for longer than
       permitted,” as the maximum stay is 1.5 hours.
       This incident is from quite a while ago. I park there often and
       have not overstayed in over a year. I suspect that on that day I
       may have entered the car park, been unable to find a space, left
       to check a nearby NCP car park, and then returned later — which
       could explain the time gap between the two images.
       Do I have grounds for appeal based on:
       -The first photo being very dark and unclear?
       -The first image potentially showing me entering rather than
       parked?
       -The photos not clearly showing continuous parking?
       -The possibility that this was two separate visits rather than
       one continuous stay?
       Also, by the time I actually receive the postal notice, it will
       have been more than two months since the alleged incident. I am
       concerned they may argue that this delay was due to not having
       my correct details initially (as it is a lease vehicle) and
       claim that this is not their fault.
