Council conceded, but hire company fee remains

Hi. I paid electronically to park a hired car outside my house. Camden Council issued a parking fine which went to the hire company, who passed it on to me. The Council capitulated immediately as I had online proof of payment, but the hire company is sticking by its £50 admin fee. What can I do? The co (Citirental in Swiss Cottage) say I should ask the council to pay. I have, but would faint if they agreed...

Check the small print of your contract/agreement with the hire company. Many that I've seen promise a refund of admin costs if the parking charge/penalty is won on appeal.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Ask (or check online) if the Hire Firm are members of the BVRLA, and if they are, ask them to confirm:
- is this their final word/have you reached the end of their complaints procedure, and
- what the procedure is for using the BVRLA dispute process, which you now wish to use.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
