The driver has always parked in his local supermarket car park, it has an adjacent car park which everyone thought was an overflow car park for the supermarket, there are signs saying 3 hours free parking theses signs are on a pole with signs back to back one facing the supermarket and one side facing what many people believe was an overflow car park and that both sides where the same , they are on the land owned by the supermarket and are of the same format but one side says permit holders, The driver and many other drivers assumed they were the same. There are signs on what we thought was overflow car park but because they where very similar in format The driver didn’t read them. The only reason they started to use the other car park was because of a severe back condition and They need more space to open their car door.
The driver received their first invoice notice nearly 11 weeks after the contravention and they have parked there at least 9 times since. If they had received this invoice much earlier they would have stopped using this car park, the driver has just received 3 more invoice notices and expect more to come Can anyone please give advice as to if there are any grounds for appeal for the time the parking offence took place to the date the invoice was received was such a lengthy period.
There are cameras recording time of entry and time you exit. The driver did pay the first invoice because they panicked and then realised more fines would follow. The signs are from a company call Vehicle control services
Any help would be appropriated

As in every thread
1. Edit that post to remove every and any of a hint of the relationship between the keeper (the person they are writing to) and the driver (who is likely the only person liable) 'the driver' drove that day.
2. Post a redacted copy of ALL the PCN with JUST personal details redacted.

Photo of the signs? Which company? Are you the registered keeper of the car (don't guess, check the V5c registration document).

You paid an invoice, not a fine.

If you received the notice more than 14 days after the event then, if there was no windscreen ticket, then you can not, as the keeper, be held liable.
