I received a PCN and it says my car was seen "From 12:02 to 12:05", but on the first evidence pictures was taken at 12:06. It looks like they can't prove my car was there between the given times.
Is it enough to cancel my PCN? Thanks ...

firstly was this a council ticket? ~If so then not enough to get you off on its own. If not and a private car park then just ignore them and all the following junk mail.

Don't give up, most Council PCNs are able to be appealed successfully in the end (just probably not at this early stage as it's all a game to Councils).

Post a new thread on pepipoo (don't hijack someone else's thread or they'll have a moan...):

Read their FAQs and sticky threads at the top of that forum first, like 'READ THIS FIRST' and 'how to post pictures', then register and start your own shiny new thread on that link I have provided. See other threads to see what you need to provide in terms of info and pictures.

For starters, you'll need to show them a pic of the front and back of the PCN. All the small print, show them all the blurb, all the dates (but blank out your car ID and location).

They'll help you with an informal appeal which will no doubt be rejected but this is a 3 stage process. Don't give up at the first hurdle. I would appeal ANY Council PCN to the adjudicator as there's only the risk of paying the non-discounted fine (no costs) and most appeals win.

Thank you all!

Here goes, hope you can help.

Had to take my son(11 months old) to doctors as bleeding around the eye, told had to take him to hospital , no ambulances so had to take him myself, got to cheltenham general hospital and couldnt find parking spot so left car in permits place and ran into hospital, poor guy had to have surgery, when i came out parking ticket issued by Cheltenham borough council.
Does anyone know how I stand with this as I would class this as an emergency?

Same answer as I gave before (quoted in full below) applies to you. Appeal, appeal appeal and the only thing you 'risk' is being ordered to pay the full (non-discounted) fine by the adjudicator if he/she doesn't allow your appeal. But don't just appeal without help as you are unlikely to win with mitigating circumstances alone.

Hi, I got a penalty charge notice this after noon 07 parked with additional payment made to extend the stay beyond the expiry of the time initially purchased ( eg meter feeding).

I purchased my ticket with cash at 15:16 and the ticket was written at 15:52, can I appeal this - I think this is ludicrous, how can they prove this was me?

Can everyone new to forums, pretty please start your own threads? Even better, start a new thread on pepipoo (don't continue adding different queries on a thread that's on a different subject, on pepipoo it's called thread hijacking and it's against site rules - so do read the FAQs and stickies first):

http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=30

And FWIW to Fiona, the same applies to you as I typed above, so I will repeat it, get some pics of the front AND back of the PCN and post it asap on pepipoo:

uk parking control on the 10th sept me my wife and children went to a cab office to collect a coat left in a cab my wife went in !!! me and the kids stayed in the car . i saw a bloke behind me take a picture but never thought anything about it a few day's later low and behold i get a ticket through me door i have appealed and have now been told i got to pay but it clearly states on the letter you should not leave your vehicle unattended but i never . have asked them again to take me to court insted of bailiffs what should i do

Just ignore them. They won't take you to court and they won't "send in the bailiffs". UK Parking Control are well know on this forum and they never carry out any of their empty threats.
