Two cctv camera tickets in one hour

Hello there, i was wondering if you guys could shed some light on my problem, i was in barking town centre on the 16th of august and got two cctv parking fines within one hour. I have tried my best for now to show where i was, they have changed few things in the town centre so yes google images are a bit old but its just to give an idea and i was willing to pay one fine but now that i got two fines wiithin one hour its costing £120 if paid within 14 days. In both places i did park but i stayed in the car all the time as the first one i got where i was picking up my wife from and as she was getting late i waited around 10 minutes for her to come out and the second one she went in the shop to get few groceries for cooking and now it seems like we may endup paying £120 so any help would be deeply appreciated. I do wanna contest the tickets but i dont know what to say :(

ok so i cant post the links :( if anyone wants than i can pm them the links so they can get the idea better. The first one was in pdestrian zone but i didnt think i went in pedestrian zone and the second one was on double yellow i think but both in the same town centre within an hour by cctv.
HELP PLEASE.
If it ever got to the point where i have no money to eat. I would go to the police station and break something to get myself arrested. Atleast i would get a warm cell and food and if everyone who get SANCTIONED by the job center did that than the government would have to change there policy about sanctioning so many people on the work program.

    Sounds like a fair cop to me. What grounds do you have for disputing the fines ?
  • sent u a pm with links, i dont know whats gonna happen as they would have it on the camera but i just think two tickets in the same town centre within half an hour is a bit too much.
    Not sure how many posts u need to make before u can post a link but if u can, can u post the links which i pmed you.
    Thanks

  • What was the contravention code and description?
  • I do appologise for not saying this before but it is actually my friend's car which i was driving at the time and he told me about one ticket 2 days back to which i said fine ill pay that but today he told me that i got another ticket on the same date(i think 16th august) within half an hour so the tickets are still with him, i can try and get them from him tomorrrow. i would pm you the picture's link so u have the idea as well and thanks for the reply.

    just host on tinypic and copy the url. paste the url into a post and remove the http:// bit. Both sides of each ticket and remove personal details.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
  • Thanks for the advice peter

    I've given up trying to get my signature to work with the new rules, if nobody knows what the rules are what hope do we have?

    Are the tickets for exactly the same place but just a while apart or are they for different places? As requested pics of tickets, both sides and remove personal details.

    They are for two different locations, see link 3.
