Wrong reg

Legacy_user

Please advice.
I received a fine from parking eye, saying that I hadnt paid, which I knew I bad. Luckily I found the ticket, not having cleaned the rubbish from the car, found that I had put the wrong first two letters ( start of my old car, and the rest this car reg). I hadnt realised until I received the fine.
I gave appealed as it was a genuine mistake, and they have reduced it to £20.00. Please advice with what to do...should I pay it or appeal again.
Thanks in advance

BPA’s Statement on Ethical Car Park Management

The British Parking Association (BPA) recently released a statement on the importance of ethical car park management, following Chief Executive Andrew Pester’s appearance on BBC One’s Watchdog as part of a feature on the use of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems by private parking operators.
An Independent Appeals Service

The statement issued by the British Parking Association addressed the importance of ethical car park management, labelling it as “essential for a better parking experience”.
In accordance with this, all members of the British Parking Association who manage parking on private land are automatically subscribed to POPLA, which is an entirely independent appeals service. POPLA was launched in 2012 and, since then, has processed over 200,000 appeals, 50% of which were won by the motorist as opposed to the operator.
Allowing for Human Error

In the BPA’s statement, mention is made to the possibility of a parking charge notice (PCN) being issued as a result of human error, saying, “we do recognise that errors can occur and they can be upsetting for the motorist.”
“In many cases, parking tickets are cancelled by the operator when they are given additional information,” said the BPA.



We can confirm that, with HX Car Park Management, this is absolutely the case. Not only that, but in every instance of a PCN being issued, we will actively assess the possibility of human error. To this end, if the number plate entered by the motorist displays up to two characters’ difference from the number plate of the vehicle in question, we will automatically dismiss the case as human error and recall the relevant parking charge.

Janey. Do listen to red and coupon mad - they know their stuff, and won’t thank me for what I’m about to say....

But, just decide whether any of the time spent dealing with this, writing letters, and any anxiety this may cause you is worth £20...

To some it’s a matter of principle, to others it’s just not worth it....

To reiterate tho...these boys know what they are doing and Saying - just giving an alternative view that our might not have considered...

Thank you for your advice. I did check the newbies post but to be honest found it all rather confusing. But I am now sorted.
