Council Parking Ticket

Options
Hi all,

A little advice would be very much appreciated.

Anyone know how far a council could take a parking contravention for a parking ticket that was simply upside down?

I can prove that I had in fact paid and the council have acknowledged as much. However, they are threatening court action and have rejected 2 appeals on the basis of the upside down ticket.

I'm hoping that, the fact payment has since been proved, they will have no power in court (and all I'm receiving is threats).

However, is this the case?

Many thanks in advance.

    Court action? Are you sure it's a Council ticket not a fake private one?

    That's not what happens unless you've missed an appeal deadline and got to Charge Certificate and Order for Recovery stage (very late stage).

    Adjudication (not Court) is the process with Council PCNs - as long as you met all the appeal deadlines.

    What you need to do is post all your letters in pics, on a new thread on pepipoo:

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

    They will help you unless you have left it too late & got to a very late stage without replying. They can get most people off most Council PCNs.

    Is this a Council PCN, which Council?







    P.S. Sorry but you're gonna lose 2moro, Elokobi and all!! No more seven goal thrillers!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Well I was on a hospital car park.

    The correspondence is from Notts Parking Partnership.

    They have said it will go to an adjudicator as the next step but have also stated that the debt (if unpaid in 14 days) will be registered with the Traffic Enforcement Centre at the County Court to recover the charge.

    ps - for some reason they say I owe £50 now ???

    pps! "P.S. Sorry but you're gonna lose 2moro, Elokobi and all!! No more seven goal thrillers!" -- you a seagul then?

    Bassetlaw Council - so post on pepipoo with pics of these 'letters' as it sounds like these have been 'notices' which all needed a reply/appeal if you were to get your day in front of an adjudicator.







    P.S. I just added a PS in my post above! Yep, Amex season ticket holder! Not coming up 2moro. Glad to help you though! :rotfl:

    1 - 2 BHA

    But who knows, they are both unpredictable! If Vicente plays for the Albion then the team will revolve around him and the opposition will fall down in awe. :D

    Anyway good luck with that parking ticket!

    If YOU still have the parking label, you will win at adjudication level .
    Just hope you have not sent it to the council....

    In the meantime can you post up the following info from the ticket

    Time observed
    Time issued
    contravention code
