Gym members are allowed to use this car park for two hours. They
have to input the VRN into a tablet within the gym. This was
done but the driver overstayed due to the gym being busier than
usual.
The gym has been contacted and they say there is nothing they
can do.
No PCN stuck to the car and no first PCN received (so no ANPR
pictures received yet). The final PCN reminder pictured above is
the first point of contact.

A couple of years ago, I got a PCN for not paying at all when
collecting from Argos in Sainsburys there (I wrongly assumed
supermarket car park would be free, genuine first-timer
mistake!). I asked security in the shopping centre for someone
to discuss this with and it got rescinded by speaking to whoever
was senior on-site, though I can't remember their job role.
Might be worth asking around during working hours! I believe
they contacted the operator to get it cancelled.

As you say, these are not pictures of the PCN.
ECP notice to keepers are not normally PoFA compliant so always
ensure that the driver is never revealed.

Thank you for the replies. The driver is young an inexperienced
and maybe someone a little more persuasive will have more luck
with the gym, I will call today and speak to a manager.
I will not reveal the driver identity at any point here or to
ECP.
If the phone call is unsuccessful - where should I go from here?
It has clearly gone past the 28 day appeals deadline which would
have been mid-May.

Ideally it would be best to speak to the manager in person.
it`s easier for them to fob you off on the phone.
In the long run ECP generally discontinue before paying the
court fee, if it goes that far.

You could still contact ECP (strictly as the Registered Keeper)
and specify that you have never received the original PCN and,
as such, you would like them to grant you the right to appeal on
those grounds.
Do not discuss the nature of your appeal at that point - simply
that you would like to appeal as the reminder notice was the
first you knew of the situation.
You would obviously ask them to provide a copy of the original
NtK.

Following an SAR, Euro Car Parks have sent the original PCN.
They also included the DVLA request which was on 18/04 and clear
entry and exit photos. They have said that they will still
accept an appeal.

Did you ask them if they would allow you to appeal?
