Parked in a loading place or bay during restricted hours without loading
« on: »
I parked my van in a designated loading bay while I briefly went into my shop to drop off my items. Due to the high-theft area, I locked my van for security. However, I received a parking ticket stating that I was improperly parked, which is not the case.

Additionally, the registration number recorded on the PCN is incorrect. Given these issues, I believe I have grounds to appeal the ticket. Could you please advise if this is a valid reason for an appeal?

Please post the front of the unredacted PCN.

Usually, an incorrect Reg.Mark is fatal to the PCN, and there is no need to appeal.

Standard advice is
to post a copy of the PCN to the Council, with an (anonymous) note saying you found it on your vehicle and its reg mark does not relate to yr vehicle. That will save the owner of the defective mark (you can check online to verify its existence) from getting chased by the Council.
to keep the original PCN very safe in case some Council muppet tries to play Sherelock Holmes - the PCN is your 'get out of jail free' card.
If the defective mark is not in use you need do nothing but keep ther PCN safe.

That said, what is the error? E,g. is it 0/O or 1/I?

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, the PCN ticket was damaged in the wash, but I still have the reference number. I’ve checked the details online, and I noticed that the registration number listed is incorrect. It shows EA21. instead of EA71.

As part of my appeal, should I base it solely on the incorrect registration number, or should I also explain that I was genuinely loading and locked my van due to the high theft/crime area?
