Aldi cheam PCN

Hi
Just been visiting family in London. I live in Liverpool and
just got home today 10/8/25 at about 1am to a lovely PCN.
Reading reviews on Google, it seems many others have faced the
same as you apparently have to input your number plate in the
system. There was no obvious sign for this. No staff member made
mention of this.
I believe day 14 is today, the final day for the reduced fee,
which is why I thought to post this despite being tired and it
being 3am.
Surely I should win this easily in appeal as there's no obvious
signage?
I don't have my receipt, but I have a screenshot from my amex
app showing where and when I've paid.

you have a receipt for purchases on the day, include that as
evidence and ask that they get their agent to cancel the unfair
PCN.

You’ve said you don’t have a receipt but you can show proof of
payment.

You mean except for the entrance sign which even on Google maps
can clearly be read that customers must register in store and
undoubtedly multiple signs around d the carpark?
b789s approach seemsa much better option, no harm putting an
appeal into Parkingeye as well, just don't reveal who was
driving, say the driver did this and paid that.

Agreed, most parking companies deny appeals simply because many
people then pay up. Even when the appeal is correct.
[member=1829]Swahmad[/member] is confusing them with decent,
reasonable companies - they don’t care, they only want your
money.

Plan A is always the easiest method to get a PCN like this
cancelled. If that fails, you can easily fight this but it will
be a prolonged process and will also depend on whether PE handle
it in house or farm it out to the incompetents at DCB Legal.

Undoubtedly? So I must be blind then haha
Genuinely didn't see a single sign and I did have a glance
around. I also have had a look at Google maps and can't see any
clear signs.

I've dealt with PE before where I incorrectly received about 5
PCNs. All appeals were rejected but as soon as it went to POPLA
they folded before they could judge

You'd do well in the employ of a parking company ;)
