Gemini Parking solutions - Gunnersbury Park

Hi All,
The registered keeper of the vehicle initially received an email
from the leasing company on 10 March advising that they had been
notified of a parking charge. They confirmed they would contact
the issuing authority on my behalf and request that the notice
be reissued directly to me.
I have now received the PCN.

On the day in question, I had taken my two sons to a football
tournament and had paid for parking from 10:06 to 14:50.
Unfortunately, the tournament overran, and one of my sons
sustained a minor injury which required my attention, resulting
in a delay in returning to the vehicle.
I would appreciate any advice on how best to proceed.

Did you receive any other documents with the PCN?

Please show us the back of the notice, and please confirm (in
addition to the question above) if you are the hirer of the said
vehicle.

I did not receive any other documentation and I am the hirer of
the vehicle.

Hey all, it would be great to hear your thoughts. I believe the
14-day discount period would end on 10th April and the 28 day
period on the 24th April.
Thanks

Appeal along the lines of:
I am the hirer of the vehicle and, under no obligation to do so,
will not be identifying the driver. Your PCN does not comply
with the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act in order
to transfer liability to me as hirer (namely failure to include
the required documents), and I am therefore unable to assist you
further in this matter. I look forward to your confirmation the
PCN has been cancelled.
Make sure you don't inadvertently click on a 'I was the driver'
button.
They will probably reject it; and they are IAS for subsequent
appeal so not that high a chance of success there either. So you
would need to tough out the 'debt collector' letters and see if
they make a small claims court case. This should be easily
defendable on the above basis.

Thanks for this - should I not include the fact that the
football tournament overran. If so, that doesn't implicate the
driver at all, right?

No, the over-run is irrelevant and will only make them ignore
the key PoFA point and answer this point instead.

Lastly (I'm on Gemini's appeal site now), what should I choose
as the reason?

Are those all of the options? Ideally choose an option that says
'other'
