A private parking charge (Notice to Keeper under POFA 2012) must be served within 14 days of the alleged contravention for keeper liability to apply.
Yours appears to have been issued 16 days after the alleged contravention.
Ergo, no keeper liability can exist.
@b789 will be along shortly with an excellently worded reply you can use as an appeal.
To manage your expectations though - your appeal will almost certainly fail, not because it lacks merit but because this is all about revenue generation......buckle up, you're in for a ride that might well last a year and will involve all manner of threatening letters telling you your whole world is going to collapse around you if you don't cough up.
If they’re foolish enough to litigate, you win — because POFA is statutory law, not optional guidance.
Stay strong, this is easily winnable so long as you don't blab who the driver was; here, on Facebook, anywhere in fact.
