I have recently tried unsuccessfully to appeal against a parking fine that I received due to my partner not entering the complete reg plate into the parking machine. She thought she just had to enter the number part of my reg (04) rather than the whole registration. Fortunately I still have the ticket which matches the number bit of my plate. I believe it is fairly clear from this that I did actually but a ticket.

 

 

I tried to appeal on the basis that I had evidence that I had paid and explained what had happened but it was rejected as they say that the instructions clearly state that the correct registration plate has to be entered and that I have therefore breached the terms and conditions.

 

It states that in order to appeal again I therefore need to appeal to the independent appeals service.

 

Anyone got any advice?

 

I am determined not to pay the fine when I did actually but a ticket.

 

Cheers,

 

 

Dave.

dont worry. Theyve already messed up. You already paid and got a ticket, so it makes no odds that the wrong reg was entered.

 

Sit tight and youll get more detailed explanation why.

It is not a fine!!

Its a speculative invoice

 

Lots of threads here regarding wrong reg input

[dx100uk]

I'd just ignore them now

Unless you get a claimforn

Just keep that ticket safe

 

Its not you fault they can be bothered to look at their ANPR database to check things

Next time do not appeal to the parking co until you have taken advice.

 

You could have had at least 3 more reasons the charge wasn't valid due to the parking co's failure to cut and paste a few sentences if it was the same as their normal output.

 

There are plenty of examples of wrong reg court claims being thrown out and yours is better than most as far as the ticket printing goes.

 

they will be writing to you again as they think that you are worried about what happens if you don't pay.

 

they rely on fear, half truths and sometimes downright lies to get people to pay them when they don't have a legal leg to stand on.
