Am i right in thinking that a parking ticket is invalid if there is a mistake on the letter? My car is gold but the letter the council sent me says it is silver.

The colour is irrelevant.
But it may be invalid for other reasons, such as incorrect signage, or the actual wording on the ticket.
Go to the Council tickets section on the Pepipoo forums for expert advice.
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 -

As bargepole says, NOPE. But then almost everyone wins on pepipoo! Read some threads and then start your own once you have seen what to show the experts there:

DO NOT POST asking about the 'colour' (forget it) and DO NOT POST without pictures of both sides of the PCN.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
