The poster hasn't said anything to suggest there is even a faint chance of a successful appeal to the council.
There is no semantics, you are wrong its that simple! And as you have no idea what could be used in this case to appeal against this, I suggest you keep your opinion to yourself, we simply do not have the information that could determine if there is something wrong with the PCN, the signs, the TRO or a myriad other things that could get this cancelledWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

That is a bit strong, if something costs £x now and £x + 10 percent in two weeks time the price has assuredly gone up. Also LTP has not suggested that the OPs case is without merit, only that nothing he has posted leads us to believe that it has.
I suggest you keep your opinion to yourself,

Sorry but giving out wrong advice should be responded too! If its a bit strong so be it. And please The Deep, don't take my comment out of context, its on this situation that I said to keep the opinion to themselves because its wrong!When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

Yes he is because the penalty does not go up, the penalty is for £90 (or so) discounted to £45 (or so) for a number of days, the discount goes not the penalty going up. Also most councils will allow an informal appeal to be given, and then re-offer the discount if it rejectsWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

Not sure that I understand.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
The penalty is for £90 in my example above, if it's discounted by 50% it takes it to £45, but the penalty is still £90 no matter what. So by removing the discount it reverts to what it was to begin with.
My opinion is that most tickets should be appealed as most are cancelled when properly appealed, the advice on going to pepipoo is the best option as they can say if it has a good chance of winning.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

No, to begin with it was discounted.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
Yes discounted , but the penalty was still the full amount. An analogy would be if there was a sale on in a shop offering something for 50% off for 14 days , after the sale period has the price gone up or has the 50% sale period has ended ?When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.
