My mother has just received a penatly charge notice with regards to a parking ticket dated 27th November, which was a surprise as there was no ticket on the car, drivers side parked on road. She had reversed into a space, there was a car parked in front at a bus stop, but she was not parked on the bus stop, what can she do about this, she was told that the ticket could have been ripped off by a passer by or was blown off. How can she pay for something she wasn't aware off! Any adive would be helpful, Thanks.

Under the latest legislation, they don't have to put a ticket on the car, they can use CCTV evidence.
Please scan the complete notice (back and front), blank out personal details, and post it in this thread. One of the Council ticket experts such as Neil B will then be able to advise whether you have grounds for an appeal.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -
The car was parked on a main road, when show e phone to enquire the person said that the ticket was put on the car, but someone must have removed it before she returned to the vehicle. I will try and figure out how to post the complete form.0

It still stands, otherwise everyone who gets a ticket could just say "It wasnt on the car"0

When you are legally parked?0

Please scan the ticket, both sides of all sheets and use tinypic to post it here(see stickies for how to). There are people on here who may be able to help you. Photo's of any signs and lines would help also. If no scanner use a digital camera, if no digital camera use a mobile phone.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

not sure of legalities, but surely its too late for a November (alleged!) offence to be ticketed?Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)0 -
The offence took place at the end of November, hard to have any photographic evidence, but in process of scanning into computer, but I need to go out, so will have to wait, unfortunately.0

Sorry the images are so large, still unsure how to downsize them, I've just spent the last hour trying. Hope someone can help, so thanks in advanced. Must dash as sick gran(mrsa), thanks to the clean hospitals in Glasgow0
