Thank you for your help. As you correctly stated, first step was the employer, who has now had this cancelled for me! A great win, thank you!

Welcome to FTLA.
To help us provide the best advice, please read the following thread carefully and provide as much of the information it asks for as you are able to: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum guide (https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/)
What you think is irrelevant may not be. The parking company are unlikely to accept any appeal regardless of merit... They're likely to argue that the requirement of the terms is to display a permit, not simply to have one. This doesn't mean you don't have a case, but let's build as strong a case a possible.
If this is a work car park, the obvious first step would be to speak to your employer.

Hi all,
Can you please help here?
Usually I'd upload photos etc, but I don't think it's needed in this case (correct me if I'm wrong).
Essentially, parked at my work car park as usual. Put the permit on my dashboard, left the car, paid the ticket (permit works on a pay on arrival basis).
Came back to a fine and found my permit on the floor. Reason for the fine is "Parked in a staff permit holders bay without a valid staff permit".
I understand the inspector of course couldn't see the permit given it fell off, but surely I can contest this? It's not a sticky permit, just rests on the dash essentially.
What do I do? How do I phrase it?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!
