My friend lives on a street that seems like any normal street and I have parked there twice or three times a week for the last year, all of a sudden I get a letter through the post with a Parking charge notice. Is it legitimate ? Do I have to pay ? incident occurred on 25/02/20 and letter issued 03/03/20 and I received 06/06/20

Have signs appeared? Edit so that the identity of the driver cannot be inferred. Use " the driver.........." etc
Post up the PCN, suitably redacted
Check the status of the road, ie has it been adopted

I am the "guest" who posted the above thread. I will visit the place where the incident took place and look for the signs and if they are new. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **
Meanwhile the letter reads as follows
We have issued the PCN ******* to your vehicle because it was parked in a manner whereby the driver became liable for a parking charge at ******* that we are authorised to manage on the 25th February 2020 at 08.56. The terms and conditions of parking on this private land are clearly set out on the signage installed within the restricted area. By parking within this restricted area you are bound to these terms and conditions and liable to pay a charge if you breach these terms and conditions. The period of parking to which this notice relates is the period that immediately preceded the incident date and time above.*
The letter then goes on about discounted charge for early payment, requesting my details from DVLA and if I wasn't the driver to let them know who was else I am liable for the charge etc...
I will go and look at signing today, I was parked there from 8.45 - 9.45 on the morning in question.
Thanks in advance for any helpComment

No, ALL of the letter, which is why the post of a redacted copy was requested.
And remember the request not to infer the identity of the driver.* Please read post #3, last paragraph.

Sorry.
We have issued the PCN ******* to your vehicle because it was parked in a manner whereby the driver became liable for a parking charge at ******* that we are authorised to manage on the 25th February 2020 at 08.56. The terms and conditions of parking on this private land are clearly set out on the signage installed within the restricted area. By parking within this restricted area you are bound to these terms and conditions and liable to pay a charge if you breach these terms and conditions. The period of parking to which this notice relates is the period that immediately preceded the incident date and time above.
A discounted charge of £60.00 applies if this parking charge notice is paid within 14 days of issue. If you chose to not pay at this amount, the full value £100 will be due.
We have requested your details from DVLA as the registered keeper of the vehicle (through the reasonable cause criteria of pursuing an outstanding parking charge). The reason we issued the PCN to the vehicle is as follows: No Parking on access roads/roadways.
We the Creditor, *now request this amount is paid using one of the payment methods described overleaf. If you were not the driver of the vehicle, you should notify us (see reverse for details) of the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and pass this notice on to the driver.
You are advised that if, after the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which this notice is given - the amount of the unpaid parking charge specified in this notice has not been paid in full, and we do not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, under Paragraph 9(2)(f) of schedule 4 of the protection of freedoms act 2012 we will have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that parking charge amount as remains unpaid. This notice is deemed to have been given to you on the second working day. after the date of sending above.
PS I have noticed that the letter has been addressed to Mr "my wifes name" rather than Mrs and I was actually the person driving, not that this is a big mistake.
