    You only have to pay if a judge says so , in a court hearing

    More importantly , what was the alleged contravention that led to the PCN being issued ?

    Plus show us pictures of the signs so we can see what blue badge holders are required to do to comply

    Those bays need you to be able to read the signs without leaving the driving seat
  • there are no signs just a blue sign saying disabled parking 
  • and disabled badges to be displayed at all times

    There must be signs up , so check again , the parking company issued a PCN because the driver fails to follow the rules on the signs !

    Signs are required to form the contract with the driver

    Name the location and post pictures of the signs
  •  alleged contravention was badges not on display at night when thay where on the passanger side , tried to call them only a phone number for payment only  nothing else  so i cant speak to any one at all ??

    Post pictures of the signs and give us the location too

    Redact the NTK PCN using white card over your name , address , VRM plus the PCN reference , take a picture and post that on here too

    We need to see all the relevant information to assist

    Do not phone anyone

    But do not get another ticket or PCN , park on the public road !!

    You don't have to go out to post a picture of your redacted PCN that came in the post , just attach it to your reply

    Plus you could give us the details of that car park , address etc
  • heres the first part
