parking fine

td5ross

out shopping today with my disabled mother in law...we use her badge when i take her.but she must have knocked it off the dash or the door being closed has moved it...anyway we came back with a penalty notice on the screen...but the badge was still in plain site open clear as day on the passenger seat i took pictures...i even brought back the attendant and showed him,he said id have to appeal! complete idiot if you ask me.

ive never in my life had a ticket....UKPC they have even taken pictures...but ive noticed an error straight away they got my reg wrong on the printed ticket.but pictures are clear

not sure what to do

oh we were parked in a disabled bay asel

Try calling them maybe, or seeing on their website if they have a help desk to explain your situation.

it says i can appeal,but have read online 99% get rejected.its an honest mistake badge was displayed...just not on the dash,but i dont see any law in saying it should be placed on the dash?

Presumably you found the template appeal when you read the top thread before posting? So why would anyone on this forum say they are not sure what to do, unless maybe they haven't read the sticky thread.

Oh - I see you have missed the top thread then which tells you every POPLA appeal on this forum wins...I suggest you stop asking questions and start reading the top thread.

Do not phone UKPC, if you have read the forum you will realise you are wasting your time, the attendant is on a bonus scheme, UKPC are not interested in your appeal, your mistakes, or your badge, only your money.
The "mistake" with your reg number is another one of their scams to make you contact them so they get contact from the driver and don't need to pay for your details from the DVLA.
Follow the advice on here and don't get sucked into the scam, it's not a fine or penalty either!

You have just admitted you read SOME of the information then were rude to the very person who spent hundreds of hours writing that information for people like you.


I suggest you go back and read the Sticky thread for Newbies written by an unpaid volunteer and then you might just realise how much effort she has put in so YOU don't have to.

No need to be rude - I am amazed people don't read the top thread when it's as easy as reading it, using the template appeal then reporting this sort of result:

...several of those being UKPC cases.

I felt you were rude first, by not bothering to read the advice in the top thread. You think I spent my own time writing it for fun?
