Okay, thanks , I’ll stick with could. I know I’ve asked a few
times, but could you please confirm if the rest of the
paragraphs are okay to send? Really appreciate it.

Yes - I wouldn't get too hung up on the initial appeal, you're
lucky if the parking company even bother to read it properly,
let alone uphold it, but you're at least setting your stall out
for the case as it progresses.

updated on the outcome. Really appreciate your help

Hello,
GXS have now replied and rejected the appeal. The response
basically is a template/automated rejection.They haven’t
addressed any of the specific points raised in my appeal.
They simply said that the vehicle was “observed parked
unauthorised” but don’t explain how this was determined or
provide any other evidence showing the vehicle parked in a
restricted bay.
The rejection also relies on generic statements about signage
being present, despite no signage photos being included with the
original PCN, no contemporaneous site images being provided, and
no indication of the period of parking.
They have gone on Google Maps and shown the signage and where
it’s located. How’s that justifiable? How can you go on the
internet and take screenshots and say look that’s what it says?
And on top of that, this is irrelevant. The vehicle wasn’t even
parked there.
I was parked in a different area, just a bit down the road in a
council parking place, and I purchased a ticket and was parked
there. I even have the ticket as proof.
None of the issues raised in my appeal have been addressed.
What’s the best thing to do now? How do I frame an appeal to the
IAS?
I’ve attached their response

You could appeal to IAS and hold the operator to 'strict proof'
that your car was photographed parked on site.

How should I appeal to the IAS? What do I include in it and what
do I say?

I’m not sure how to appeal to the IAS. If you could let me know
how to frame the appeal, as I don’t want it to get rejected,
please.

There's a very fair chance it will, regardless of merit. The IAS
is a kangaroo court.
We can't always write full drafts for people, but if you draft
something up we can offer feedback. I'd frame it clearly and
include photos. Your appeal would seem to be on fairly simple
lines:
[list]
[li]Your vehicle did not park - it was there for a few seconds
whilst performing a 3 point turn (or similar)[/li]
[li]The images on the PCN show an entirely different car. Your
car is a BMW [MODEL] whilst the one pictured is a Nissan
Note[/li]
[/list]
You could perhaps demonstrate the second point by comparing the
photo on the PCN with a photo taken from a similar angle of your
vehicle, to show it is obviously different. You could also
highlight the Nissan badge.
It's hard to make out the VRM of the Nissan in the pictures, but
it seems to start with an 'M'. If yours doesn't, highlight this
too. The goal is essentially to make it as blindingly obvious as
possible that they've got the wrong vehicle.

GXS seem to have catastrophically failed to perform their
required due diligence and issued a charge to the keeper of the
wrong vehicle.
They've now maintained their position even after their error was
pointed out to them.
Doesn't that constitute a thumping GDPR failure?
What would be the chances for a counterclaim of £500-750 or
thereabouts?

They'd have to issue a claim first for a counterclaim. A
standalone claim could be pursued. But I would agree that it
would appear to constitute a misuse of personal data.
