I'd appreciate the thoughts of others.
I parked briefly by our local post office. The parking spaces were full (they're on private land) so I parked in the street knowing I had a 15 second transaction at the counter. One customer in front of me (an old biddy) but even then I wasn't more than three minutes.
As I was leaving, a parking gestapo was approaching the car. She must have been waiting in her car in the spaces (on the private land) as it was raining at the time.
I simply got in the car and drove off. I did notice, in my rear view mirror, her taking my picture when I was some 50-60m away.
I thought nothing more about it. No PCN arrived.
Then on Friday I received a Notice to Owner (NtO). Throughout the front page of which it makes repeated reference to the service of a PCN and that I've lost the opportunity to pay the half price deal.
Surely the non-service of the PCN, by any means, gives me a case to appeal? And the falsehoods stated in the NtO?
I also note that there is no Tax Disc info on the NtO. Simply because she didn't get anywhere close enough to make notes.
What's the thinking.
