Wrong number plate on parking ticket
AmyL
Posts: 22 Forumite
I got a parking ticket from District Enforcement today. I shouldn't have got it because it said you have the first 20 minutes free and I was only 20 minutes. Ticket was given after only 15 minutes. Anyway, they have written my number plate wrong, they have missed one of the numbers out. Does this mean it's invalid? I was going to appeal because I didn't go over the time but I won't if I don't have to. Thanks.

Wait for an NTK to come in the post in 29 to 56 days, then come back to this thread0

The best case scenario is that they really have noted your number plate down wrong, will draw a blank when they try and get the keeper details from the DVLA and you won't hear anything further. (There is some suggestion that they put the wrong number down on the ticket as a ruse to get you to contact them and 'out' yourself as the driver).
Normally with a windscreen ticket it is recommended to appeal 26 or so days after the event. Personally in the circumstances you describe I'd do nothing if/until they write to you.0 -
If they do have my correct number plate then I will loose my chance to appeal and I'm pretty sure I will be successful in that because I didn't go over the time. But if I appeal I would have to put the number plate they wrote and not give my name, so I'm wondering if I can call them and ask but not give any of my details.0

No you won't lose the chance to appeal
Ignore the windscreen notice to driver which the driver does not appeal
You appeal the Postal notice as keeper0 -
I see you what you mean now, thanks!0
