Shield

My husband studies on an evening at college and has a student parking pass, parked today for an exam at 1pm and has received a parking ticket for 'incorrect permit for zone,' the sign in the car park stated 'valid permits required'

When he asked the security guard, the guard said his permit is only valid after 4pm, but it doesn't state this on the pass.

Is it worth us appealing or sending a letter saying we won't be paying?

    As above. Assuming that Shield is Shield Security Services (Yorkshire) Ltd, then the keeper should send the BPA template in blue from the NEWBIES.

    As long as the appellant is the keeper, doesn't say who was driving and that person times it right - but all of this is covered in the NEWBIES LEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST thread.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
