disabled parking in car park

Trevor, have you based your forum username on your real name? If so, you may want to get your forum username changed to something completely anonymous.

To help with that, have a read of this item from the Forum's FAQs:

Can I change my username?

In most circumstances, we don't allow this.

The only reason we will change your username is if it puts your privacy at risk e.g. you've inadvertently registered using your name, email address or something which gives away your identity within your username.

If you fall into this category, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com your current username, the email address you registered with and three alternative usernames in order of preference.

You covered up the car park location , we can see it's postcode nr3 3be but more info required

That NTK PCN states there is clear signage displayed , so we need to see that too

You need to see what photos they have of your vehicle not displaying a disabled badge. Send a SAR to get all the photos they have - how to do this, along with a template to do so, can be found in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, second post.
You could also check their website to view photos. 

NPE tend to rely on CCTV footage rather than ANPR and they're not noted for having many boots on the ground. Let's see what they've got on you.

If they've taken the photos with CCTV (or ANPR) there is no way they could spot whether a blue badge was on display. What have they used to photograph the dash after the car was parked?  Are they using two different methods of recording?

1) if they were displayed on the dashboard and can be seen through the windscreen , then you probably complied with the signage

2) under the Equality Act 2010 the car park owner plus NPE are required to allow reasonable adjustments so providing your proof plus stating they were displayed on the dashboard should have been sufficient to cancel the PCN , as you thought

3) make a strong complaint to the landowner ASAP , mention the blue badge we displayed on the dashboard , mention the EA2010 and insist on a cancellation

4) get pictures of the signage

If this goes to court I think a judge will agree with you on this matter !! It's de minimis

Ps. , this new court claim appears to be the same car park , with pictures

So you cannot say there were no signs there , those pictures prove it

But you can say that the signs are in poor condition and if you can read the faded blue badge section , you complied with it as you always use your blue badges in any disabled bay as you are require to do, it's automatic, so as well as a landowner complaint , try an IPC IAS appeal with proof using the signs and copies of the blue badges , Bearing in mind that the sign has to be easily read in the dark by a disabled person sat in the driving seat

How about answering some of our questions? (Note, just a single question mark, no need for three!).
