Also, when asking who I am on the appeal form, I have not opted for registered keeper or owner and have selected "none of the above"

Thanks for the advice, I've quickly drafted up an appeal as below, ok to send? Hello, I've recently been passed a pile of mail from an old address and within that pile is a parking charge with reference to the above. Can I please draw attention to the fact that my address has changed and I now reside at ********, Gateshead, and not **********, Ingleby Barwick, and have done since 26th May 2015. In regards to the parking charge, I wish to appeal the charge on the grounds that; a: The sign-age in that part of the hospital grounds is inadequate and it is unclear that you are entering a restricted parking area. b: The parking charge is excessive. The amount asked for is disproportionate to the supposed losses that you have incurred - £70 for 16 minutes - factoring in a 20 minute waiting period. It does not represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss caused by the alleged parking contravention; as such it is a legally unenforceable penalty charge. c: I do not believe that the vehicle was stationary in a parking bay during the time of the alleged offence, therefore was not breaching any terms and conditions (signposted or otherwise) relating to parking in a restricted bay without a permit. Please provide CCTV evidence to show that it was parked in a restricted bay. If you are unwilling to grant this appeal then please provide a POPLA code so that I can take this further. Kind Regards.

Hi all, I've finally got around to posting on here after reading up that new advice is to NOT ignore PCN's as I have done in the past. I've received a parking charge from Parking Eye for being in an "NHS Vehicles Only" part of the hospital for 36 minutes. This area has a 20 minute free allotted time. I've been in there in the past many times to pick up my other half who works at the hospital and I'm normally out within 20 minutes however he was late coming out on this occasion so therefore I've overstayed the time and they've clocked me on the ANPR camera going in at 19:49 and coming out at 20:25. I don't know if its worth mentioning that I wasn't parked in a bay whilst waiting, I was stopped on a double yellow line outside the staff entrance/exit. Also, I moved from Hartlepool to Ingleby Barwick 5 years ago and notified the DVLA so they sent me a new driving licence, but apparently this did not update the records of the car I was driving so the car was still registered at my old address in Hartlepool at the time of the offence.... which is my parents house so therefore I still received notification of the parking charge, dated 16th May. I ignored it, as I have done many times in the past for parking charges. At the end of May I bought a new car and when trying to transfer my private plate to my new car the whole address mis-match came to light so I've had to sort that out so that my old car is now registered to my Ingleby Barwick address. I received a "Letter before county court claim" dated 4th July to my old address in Hartlepool. I've since moved to Newcastle as of the beginning of July however I have not updated the DVLA with my new address yet, but I've set up a redirection request with the royal mail. I received a "Outstanding parking charge" letter sent to my old address in Ingleby Barwick which has been redirected by the Royal Mail to my new address in Newcastle, dated 20th July saying that Parking Eye have previously written to me at an old address that I had registered with the DVLA however it has come to their attention that I've moved so they have now wrote to the address they believe I am at and are willing to accept the £40 initial reduced charge if paid within 14 days of this new letter. That's the last I've heard from them but I've since realised that I shouldn't have ignored it in the first place like I have done with other company's in the past. Is my best course of action to submit a standard appeal, even though its outside the 28 day window for appeals? Many Thanks
