Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN whilst getting a temporary permit

Nothing happened. I moved the car into a nearby car park by calling upon a favour from a previous client.

It was the first time there were actually no bays to park in and pay. Would the following suffice?
I wish to challenge the above Penalty Charge Notice.
At the time of the alleged contravention I had parked briefly in order to obtain a visitor permit from a resident within the building. The building has controlled security access and lifts, which meant it took slightly longer than expected to reach the resident and request the permit.
I returned to the vehicle as quickly as possible and unfortunately missed the Civil Enforcement Officer by only a short time, who advised that the ticket had just been issued.
The vehicle was only parked for a few minutes (approximately five minutes according to the PCN) and was not left unattended for any longer than necessary while I attempted to obtain the required visitor permit.
Given that I was actively attempting to comply with the parking requirements and returned to the vehicle immediately, I respectfully ask that the council exercise discretion and cancel this Penalty Charge Notice.
Thank you for considering my representation.

It was to value their apartment. I literally got back and the CEO said I was about 30 seconds too late.

Think I am banged to rights here. I was told by a nearby resident to park in this car park whilst I visit them as it is always empty and hes parked there for years without issue. Clearly not!
I wasnt aware there were cameras. Anyway long story short, I seem to only have 3 more days to either appeal or pay at the reduced rate. The letter itself only landed through my door at the end of last week for some reason. Is there anything I can do here?

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / PCN whilst getting a temporary permit

Hi,
I got back to my car whilst the CEO was placing the PCN on my windscreen. I was visiting the nearby apartments and the owner said they would give me a visitors permit. But when I got there he couldn't find any. I went back to move the car but it was too late. It took me time to get to the apartment (had to buzz through 3 doors and up and down the lift).
Is there anything I can appeal on or should I just pay?

Thank you Hippocrates. So as far as I can see an appeal using the wording below is what i should be using and nothing further to do with the contravention?
"The PCN is missing mandatory information as provided at Para. 4 (8 ) (v) of
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/2003/3/section/4/enacted
(v)that, if the penalty charge is not paid before the end of the 28 day period, an increased
charge may be payable.
Clearly, this refers to Para. 4 (8 ) (iii):
(iii)that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the period of 28 days beginning
with the date of the notice;
Therefore, it follows that the statement: "If you fail to pay the Penalty Charge or make representations before the end of a period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this notice an increased charge of £240 may be payable” adds to the lack of clarity by its omission. Even on its own, whether the required information was included or not, it is also arguable that it conflates the two periods using the word "or" which many would view as being conjunctive. Furthermore, even if the statement were to be interpreted disjunctively, there is still no clarity due to the missing information. So, it follows that it cannot possibly be interpreted disjunctively."

Not sure if this is even worth an appeal. saw a parking spot down a road and stupidly decided to reverse down the road to park instead of driving around the block and was caught on camera. Just thought I would ask in case there is anything i can appeal on?

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Haringey - Parked after expiry, app failure
« on: January 28, 2025, 05:44:04 pm »
Strange one this. I paid for 45 minutes parking. At the time I did think it was cheap but checked and it was definitely 45 minutes so I didn't think anything of it. I return to the car and I have the pcn. Looking back at the app and it says 45 minutes but then below in smaller letters says the session begins from 18:22 and ends 18:37 so 15 minutes. Something went wrong there but have i got a case?

Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help given. I was going to go straight to appeal without coming here first as it seems quite a straightforward one but best to be safe. My wife parked up, walked to the nearest sign, took the 4 digit Ringo code, paid for parking and then crossed the road to shop. Came back to a pcn issues at the same time she paid. The PCO must have been literally waiting there for her to leave the car because you can actually see her walking away in the picture. Im not sure if they are on a Christmas bonus but its disgusting.

My wife ran it through Chatgpt and came up with the following appeal, will it be sufficient?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally appeal against the parking fine issued to me on 23rd December 2024, for parking at South Woodford, The Shrubberies. I believe the fine was issued in error, as I had paid for parking within the required timeframe.
I parked my vehicle at 4:14 PM and, after checking the parking sign, I began to process the payment via the RingGo app. I walked across the High Road to Marks and Spencer, and at 4:16 PM, I successfully completed the parking payment for a 2-hour session. I received a notification confirming the payment at 4:17 PM, as shown in the attached screenshot.
I proceeded to do my Christmas shopping at Marks and Spencer, where I completed my transaction at approximately 4:27 PM. Following that, I met a friend at Gail's for coffee, and returned to my vehicle at 6:15 PM, after which I drove off.
To my surprise, upon starting my car, my automatic wipers activated due to the rain, and a parking ticket flew across my windscreen. It was not properly attached to the car but was wedged under the wiper. I had to stop in the road to retrieve the ticket, only to find that I had been fined for not paying for parking.
I would like to clarify that I had already paid for 2 hours of parking through the RingGo app well within the legal time limits. Given that the parking warden likely issued the ticket within minutes of my departure, it seems clear that there was no violation of parking regulations.
Please find attached proof of payment, and I request that the fine be cancelled based on the evidence that I had paid for parking at the time the ticket was issued.
Thank you for considering this appeal. I look forward to your prompt response and the cancellation of this fine.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
