Premier Park, can I appeal this?

[stormwolf88]

Hiya, I have just received a Parking Charge Notice from Premier Park LTD as I stayed in one of their car parks for a longer time than I paid for. The situation is that I went to put 4hrs on the parking and paid £4, went into the pub that they operate in, came out to pay for my meal where they deduct the parking bill and realised that I'd only paid for £2hrs parking, as I'm assuming that one of my £2 coins wasn't accepted by the machine and got spat back out without me seeing.

I just assumed the whole £4 went through in the machine. I didn't notice and didn't check my ticket to see what I'd actually paid for in the end. I accept this is entirely my fault for not observing this properly so just wondered based on this, is it actually worth me appealing? I understand that Premier Park will reject regardless and I can take it further with POPLA, but will I even win that appeal as it was my fault, without intention.

Just want to check if I'm wasting my time and I should just pay the £60, or should I give it ago at appealing?

Also I'm unable to attached my image of the letter but I'll try again later.

Thanks in advance

I had to post the letter as a reply for it to work!

First of all edit your post so that the identity of the driver cannot be inferred e.g. "as the driver stayed ..... for a longer time than the driver paid for"

Can you also post up a picture of the signage at the car park?

If the car park is owned by the pub, have you asked their manager to have the charge cancelled.?
