20 days ago, right after parking my Honda, I paid for two hours worth parking using the PayByPhone app, using the correct parking location code.
I have proof of this payment in my phone, as well as picture of the street location code.
To my surprise, I came back to my car with a ticket on my windshield, despite being well in time. The officer had issued the fine exactly in the middle of my parking session!
This is scandalous I would like to know the appropriate way to dispute this charge. The fine has already gone up to £80.

I can confirm from the PayByPhone record that I had used the correct parking location code.
Should I dispute the fine with the council directly or wait for guidance on this forum as a first step?
