WRONG REGISTRATION NUMBER ON PCN (FROM ( SMART PARKING / ASDA ) appeal or wait ???

peter.ash292

hi all
this is my first ever post on here so please if you have any advice it would be much appreciated

i recieved a penalty charge notice at asda supercentre in trafford for parking accidentally in a disabled bay when i thought it was a parent and child parking bay my partner urgently needed to go to the bathroom and she was profusely vomiting in the toilets for around 20 minutes and whilst she was in the toilet i went and grabbed a few bits upon my return i got my pcn because i didnt have a blue badge but ive only just noticed it says the wrong registration number on it what should i do ? ignore it or just start the appeal straight away ??
i have wrote a letter and i was about to contact asda head office and discuss about the appeal when i seen reg' number is wrong il post below what i wrote to send off to smart parking so anything you think i need to add or anything please do tell

I am writing in regards to the parking ticket I was issued 4 days ago at Asda Supercentre in Trafford Park. My partner was feeling nauseous and profusely vomiting in the toilets for roughly half & hour, therefore I wasn’t concentrating on the bay I was parking in properly. I genuinely thought it was a parent and child bay as the vehicles next to me were arriving with children also. I have never visited this Asda before and was unfamiliar with the carpark. I would never knowingly park in a disabled bay as I have family with blue badges and know how frustrating it can be when vehicles park there without one.

Under the circumstances I would be very grateful if you could wave the fine on this occasion as a good will gesture. My contact details are 07********* or email **********@gmail.com.


Yours Sincerely

Mitigating circumstances very rarely have any effect on these companies. If you are the registered keeper wait until NTK.

If it has the wrong registration just ignore it as the NTK should be sent to the wrong RK.

If they have pic of my car then would they not chase me through that ??

Then they might be out of time.

Just hang-fire to see if you get an NTK within the required time. The chances are good that with a wrong reg, you won't.

How 'wrong' is the wrong VRM? Don't post up the actual number, just an indication.

just the one number different on my reg from the ticket tthat was put on my windowbut the thing that makes me worry is if they have a pic of my registration on my car at the time they give me ticket (dont know if rules differ from us but i am based in uk)

Sit tight. You have nothing to lose and much to gain.

It's not a fine, they will not have any ounce of sympathy for your case, and they will realise their mistake and find your address.
Sometimes they do this on purpose so you out yourself as the driver anyway.
Just wait for the NTK.
