    You have about 3 weeks before you need to appeal, so keep hammering the hospital to get it cancelled, but don't miss the appeal deadline.

    In that case, wait until around day 26 before sending the appeal. That will give you time to concentrate on your complaints.

    Did the yellow sticker contain anything such as a NTD, or was there writing on the sticker itself, and if so, what did it say? Do you still have it?
    Will the fine go up tho?

    It's not a fine, doesn't go up (it was always £100; the lower 'discount' is just a bribe not to appeal) and won't be paid anyway.

    You need to read the NEWBIES thread to take on board no-one pays these invoices.

    PALS will cancel it.  Keep pressing for that.

    You know this already:
    Op, we had similar, we took the BB into the hospital to get the car registered on their system and got a ticket a few days later.  I wrote to the hospital PALS with copies of ticket and BB. Within  week it was cancelled.


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    You could Google PALS or just read the NEWBIES thread that we need everyone to read first.
