Smart Parking Ringgo fine help please

Eimear78

Hi everyone 

I received a fine notice from Smart Parking about parking session they said I hadn’t paid for. 

I paid for it through Ring go and sent the receipts through to them to appeal. They’ve rejected it as it had my old registration (from 8 years ago) on the evidence. Something must have happened on Ring go as I use it all the time to park for my current vehicle. Does this happen with Ring Go? 

The letter says I can either Pay the fine or appeal to Popla but cannot do both so I am not sure what to do.

It is a major keying error but my appeal could be rejected.

Any suggestions or tips for me please?

What a shame you appealed first without coming here. You've admitted to driving, so you've binned the 100% 'nailed on' slam-dunk POPLA win that you had awaiting you if you'd just used our template appeal and ticked 'registered keeper'.

Never appeal to a PPC telling them the story of what happened and who was driving. Remember that in future.

Did they offer you to pay £20 in this letter, as it's a major keying error?

No they didn’t. I didn’t know it was a keying entry until after I sent them the receipts and they referred to the old number plate. I’ve screwed it up haven’t I?

Hi Grizebeck.

I was on the school run and couldn’t reply. 

What does that sentence mean please? Their name is all over the car park. So I thought they could issue PCNs

Grizebeck knows what he is doing and has probably saved your appeal. It means they don't have a proper landowner authority.  It's a winner at POPLA v Smart, because of the way they operate.

But I would add a second sentence as an alternative extra POPLA point:

Secondly, the operator identified that this was a 'major keying error' - see attached evidence showing the driver's other car numberplate - however they breached the BPA CoP because they failed to offer the mandatory £20 VRM keying error settlement.
