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.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
