Wrong zone on mobile parking app

Hi All,
Hope you can help me. I have done a stupid mistake and got a PCN. Here is what happened.
Last Sunday, I parked at The Green in Richmond and, when I came back, I found a PCN. I was surprised as I paid regularly via Ringgo. I have then realised that I mistyped the parking code. I entered 5495 rather than the correct 5435. I have the invoice received from Ringgo proving that I paid for the same Reg. No.
I understand that it was my fault so there is no point challenging it.
I wanted to check if there is anything I can do to reduce the amount to pay as I have actually paid the parking for the same car and time window, albeit for the wrong zone.
I have also dropped an email to Richmond council but they have not replied yet.
From now on I will check three times to have entered the right code! :mad::mad::mad:
Thanks a lot for your help!

This forum 'majors' on tickets issued by private parking tickets not council ones.
Best to get yourself over to:-
http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=30
Sign up (don't use a Hotmail address), have a read of some other posts and start a thread there.
I suspect you have a good chance of overturning the ticket (certainly better than if you were dealing with a private parking company), either at the first stage with the council and if not with the appeals tribunal.0 -
Thanks a lot Johno100!
Will do it now.
Take care,
