Free Traffic Legal Advice

I parked in a parking bay and tried to pay, RingGo App wasn’t working on my phone although I’ve used the app before at the same location. Therefore, I used pay by phone app with the correct code 7189 (mentioned on the sign post but this was referring to calling, not the app which I realised later). Made a payment to the wrong council, didn’t realise till I saw a ticket displayed on the car. Already disputed with council, they dismissed my appeal.

Thanks for a quick reply, much appreciated. Attached are both sides of the PCN. Could we argue the contravention ‘parked without payment of the parking charge’ when in fact a payment was made, but unfortunately to the wrong council

I've just tried the PbP app whose sequence is(for a non-account holder):

Vehicle details;
Location in the form of a number;
Confirmation as to its location.

In the case of 7189 Hungerford is front and centre. How could you have missed this?


And would £1 have bought you parking from 5.06pm - 6.30pm in Redbridge anyway?

No payment is due for the first hour so the contracention did not occur

Would you suggest I should/should not make the payment? The ticket is due today.
Thank you

@Assi Mr Mustard explained that no contravention occurred and you paid the PCN anyway. Sorry to say this but you've thrown your money away for nothing (no you cannot get it back).
