I've just got a parking fine but I think I have grounds to appeal as i paid but need to know how to go about it.


I parked in Wandsworth and phoned the number to pay by credit card. They recognised my phone number and said that i have now paid for my parking and when I want to stop it to phone the number again. They didn't mentioned my registration number in the recorded message.


At 5.30 (which is the end of the parking time) I received a text saying that my credit had been stopped. In the text it did say the reg number. It was the reg number of our courtesy car that we had in December. I parked in Camden and registered it then.


I didn't realise that the same parking people were involved and as they didn't mention my reg number I didn't realise that it wasn't my car that was registered (if that makes sense).


I think i have a case - do you? and if so how do i go about arguing my case?


Many thanks in advance

As its probably a new or at least fairly new problem you might be able to argue that they didn't make it clear what Car you had paid for. Me ? I am afraid if I was betting I'd bet on it being upheld , but try if you have the time and patience! I'm sure many would be grateful if you win.


I got fined because it was a hot day and my ticket fell off the windscreen onto the floor of the car. I won but it wasn't easy!

With these phone systems they recognise you by your mobile no, noally when I use them they refer to my car reg. and ask me to confirm if the pmt is for that car or an alternative car (at which point they'll ask for the teg of your alternative car).

If it's windy or busy nearby sometimes you cannot hear the automated phone service, this may be your only possible defence.

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
