Thanks for such helpful advice - I'll have a look at the site you suggested too. Then I'll shoot off a letter of appeal on Monday.

Just to be clear, was this a Parking Charge Notice or an Excess Charge Notice. Appeals differ if its ECN.

Edit, just seen its a pcn.
After the council reject your informal appeal to pcn (they usually do) you will get an NTO. Before you send off your appeal to this, compose it and put into your pepipoo thread for the experts to fine tune it. It does make a difference.

Thanks - i'd never have known about the pepipoo site unless i'd been here - it's knowledge that gives ordinary people power (and I love the thought of that). I'm off to compose now . . .

Council ticket issuers are pressured into issuing lots of tickets. It's either some sort of issue x number of tickets or you lose your job, or get y bonus per x tickets. The obvious result of this is frivolous issuing of tickets.

That makes complete sense to me - it's obviously a money-making exercise! Grrrrr!
