PCN Issued immidiately before being able to pay

Hello all.
The driver parked and whilst walking to their appointment, paid
for parking. However, the mobile reception was bad and it took 2
minutes to do. In the meantime a PCN was issued.
I know they should have stayed by the vehical until the process
was completed but they were late and assumed that nothing would
happen in 2 minutes.
Any advise would be gratly appreciated.

Time is always allowed for making payment or else nobody could
ever park legally ! However, walking away from the car and
making payment via mobile phone is never a good idea. You should
submit representations on the basis that the mobile signal was
poor so you had to move away from the car in order to make
payment. Enclose a copy of the payment record. However, don't
expect them to accept your reps, because councils reject
virtually all informal challenges because they know that most
people then just cough-up to get the discount.

7 minutes to pay will stretch the argument close to breaking
point, in my opinion. If rejected at this first challenge stage
I would pay at discount

No observation on PCN though, which is odd.

They are not the only enforcement authority which doesn't print
that on the PCN and there is no legal requirement to do so.
Other authorities also hide stuff, such as Newham whose on line
photos don't have any date or time data.
