How to Appeal a Parking Charge Notice from Defence Systems Limited
If you received a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) from Defence Systems Limited, you have statutory rights under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (POFA 2012) and the private parking sector's Single Code of Practice (BPA/IPC).
Operators including Defence Systems Limited must strictly adhere to Notice-to-Keeper timing rules, correct signage requirements, and mandatory grace periods. A failure on any of these can invalidate the charge entirely — see our guide to POFA 2012 keeper rights for the full detail.
