Is it possible to get a refund on paid PCN?

I am just wondering there are any case who got a refund on their already paid PCN by appealing later? Is this not possible in this PPC world?

    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I would be most surprised if you did. This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences. [/FONT]

    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Parking Eye, Smart and a smaller company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (who take hundreds of these cases to court, and nearly always lose), who have also been reported to the regulatory authority. [/FONT]

    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.[/FONT]

    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind most of these companies may well be put out of business by Christmas.[/FONT]

    From the parking company, no.
    From the landowner possibly, either way you should be able to give them a headache
    However answer these questions for a little more help :

    Name of parking company:
    Why did you get a parking charge in the first place?
    why did you pay?
    how much did you pay?
    whos car park is/was it?
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    "The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"

    I haven't paid yet but almost... as today is the last day of 14 days (discount).

    I've got a windowscreen PCN at the uni. The uni delayed the session so I appealed on their appeal website with confidence based on mitigating circumstance they should consider, but rejected. Then I contacted the manager of parking at the uni but they refused to cancel without certain reason. I feel like I am too vulnerable now although I don't agree their decision.

    The University delayed a lecture by admin error (double booking of a room) and then trying to profit from the student who parked in good faith for that lecture. This is NOT FAIR but I have no much choice now as a humble student against the big university. so sad.
  • this is the second uni case in the last few days

    please state the uni and the parking co
