NCP parking charge received 3+ months later
Discussion
Yet another private parking charge question. Received this letter today, 01 May, for an alleged 11 minute 'max stay exceeded' in a taxi zone at a station back in January more than 3 months ago. Images are pretty grainy and the online ones are no clearer as to the exact location of this, so I'll check it out on foot because I'm surprised I stayed into any tax zones there.
I did try to search the forums and some other online sites but couldn't find a definitive answer as to whether I should be appealing this on these grounds or not.
Issued on 18 April according to the letter as well I notice, which doesn't give me much thinking time to pay up the reduced amount of £60 within 14 days if I wanted to! Envelope isn't date stamped, of course.
Any useful information would be grateful!

Slavishly rolling over and paying these things is exactly what allows the private companies to flourish and charge ahead doing what they do. They aren't hated for no reason.
I went to the station on foot to take some pictures and the state of the parking is ridiculous. No signs indicating any maximum stay, no signs indicating a 'taxi bay'. Deliberately vague and lacking information, one might say.
Appeal sent anyway. Stay tuned.
