Chances they'll understand: high

Chances they'll let you off: slim to none

But worth a try

Yes I just saw that - maybe the OP chose a wrong car on app, which often happens.

Receipt says VRM SA69 OTW
PCN says VRM SY10 UWD

So someone made a mistake.... CEO or elpscar?

OK so the VRM on the PCN and the VRM on the payment are different...

Came back to my car at the time of my parking expiry (15:08). Below is the email receipt of parking.

PCN issued at 15:08!

Web portal shows contravention time as 15:08:10 to show an "overstay" of 10 seconds.

Which way is best to guarantee this gets cancelled because this one is so predatory  ???
