    When did he get the PCN ? And when did you get the last letter? Need to make sure you are in time to appeal this. You might as well now as it cannot go up further than it is, and with help you have a fair chance of winning

    If it's a council issued ticket you will be best asking on PePiPoo as they have people who specialise in council tickets.

    You will have to provide more information than you have here, such as date of event, windscreen ticket or charge in the post (date), any other correspondence? You will also need to scan any paperwork you've received and upload it there. Here's the link to PePiPoo forum:

    If it's a ticket issued by a private parking company, we can help here. Just let us know.

    There's always grounds for appeal, many not obvious if you've little previous experience of parking charges. PePiPoo will guide you through them.

    You haven't said as much in your last post, but I'm taking it that the ticket was issued by a council parking attendant?

    Does the letter tell you anything on this? Is the letter from the council?

  • hi, yes the letter is from the council it is a notice to owner
  • You're in a strong position here. He's the one who made a mess. He's the one who should be worrying about it, researching it and ultimately sorting it out, whether that means paying it or going through all the labour angst and hassle of an appeal. Withdraw all conjugals till he does. Much more powerful than a traffic warden!
