Well, I'm greatly sorry to tell you that your case rests on mitigation, because it is your error that you entered the bay location incorrectly, so whilst you should submit representations on the basis of total newness to PbP parking and using the Ringo app, you unfortunately failed to enter the full number. You should also say that clearly there was no intention to avoid payment and ask that the PCN be cancelled this one time as a goodwill gesture. Adjudicators at London Tribunals cannot take mitigation into account, so if you are rejected, then it would be cough-up time, I'm afraid. In addition, if you take your case to adjudication, you will lose the discount option.
No doubt Southsea council are pleased to get the money !

Hi fellow group members,
I am writing to ask for advice on a recent PCN I received when taking my partner's elderly mother shopping.
The incident happened last Friday, 06th Feb at 10:53 am.
I had parked my car in a car park space on Caversham Road off Kentish Town Road. I had parked here to bring my passenger to the pharmacy to collect her prescriptions.
On arrival, I called the parking number advertised on the space (I have a copy of my call log screenshot) time was 10.18, but the automated service could not understand my accent, so I had to give up and then downloaded the Ringo App instead. (I have another screenshot which shows the sale and ticket purchase at 10.25.
Then I finally put all the details in and booked a parking space, and everything seemed ok! I realised something was wrong only afterwards when I saw a ticket on the windscreen, when I realised that there was a missing digit in the parking area code...I put 1375 instead of 13175. I have the receipt to prove this to park for one hour between 10.27 and 11.27.
The parking area code 1375? \turns out to be SouthSea 80 miles away?
I paid and believed that everything was in order until I got the parking ticket. Had the book by phone service worked, I would not have had to download the app, probably then this never would have happened.
Any help/advice will be really appreciated.
I will try to upload all that I have for your evaluation.
Thank you.
