Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Manchester City Council, Code 06 Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket or
« on: August 01, 2024, 05:34:52 pm »
On Tuesday, I took my girlfriend out for a little lunch in the city for her birthday, we decided to drive as she had a hospital appointment at 2pm so it would've been easier for us to hop in the car and zoom out of the city afterwards than walk home and then drive out.
I parked on Ducie Street, opposite the Ducie Street warehouse, walked over to the parking terminal to pay and got the code to buy time using the 'pay by phone' app and purchased 2 hours from 12:21 to 14:21, returned to the vehicle at 13:50 to find the dreaded yellow sticky pocket on the windshield, I wasn't too concerned initially but instantly logged back onto the app to figure out why we have a ticket when I had most definitely purchased it, my eagle eyed girlfriend immediately pointed out that I had incorrectly entered my own registration by 1 digit. I entered XX61 XXX instead of XX71 xxx!!
I haven't had a PCN before and want to ensure that my appeal is water tight as this was (to me at least) a clear and obvious human error that would be reasonable for anyone to make, I still paid for a ticket and left before my time was up, any advice or drafting is very welcome and much appreciated

apologies, did try to get a BB code as the help post asks but it would only give me the link option
