Payment not gone through 7 March at 11:47AM in Parking tickets, fines & parking 7 replies 80 views

Hi, 

Looking for some advice. I parked in a private car park and paid on the app, it took about 5 mins of the website not working and the app to download before I could pay. I then get a notification from my bank 20 mins later saying the payment hasnt gone through so I paid for the parking again but now I'm worried I'm going to get a ticket for the first 20/25 mins I was parked there before the payment went through. 
I'm unsure if I should message the parking company in advance to let them know or not - any advice appreciated

Why not just wait and see whether you actually get a ticket? In the meantime, you can search and read the numerous threads in this forum that cover similar situations as yours.

BTW... is there any update on your other thread?:

I would rather avoid getting a ticket at all if possible but unsure if messaging the parking company before that happens would help or not.
I asked the managing company and they declined to help so I appealed to the parking company and they reduced it

Reduced what?

Your opening post seems to be saying you are yet to receive anything from the parking company.

@Alice___  Too many contradictions in your post. You either have received a PCN and you have appealed it or you have not received anything.

You obviously have not bothered to properly read, re-read and read again the Newbies thread where all the advice you should follow is provided. 99% of these cases are eventually won or discontinued before they get to court. 1% aren't won, usually because the advice provided in the Newbies thread was not followed or the victim just gave up.

You are already beginning to look like a 1 percenter because you have already gone against advice.

So... have you become a 1 percenter and funded the scammers?

Could it be that this post Today at 11:00AM is a two part answer, the first part being an answer to "why not wait" and the second part about the previous thread.  Would still be nice to get a full(er) explanation though.

@B789Well you've clearly not bothered to read and re-read and read again my original post and your own comment.  
My original post is asking a separate question. My second comment is answering the question that you asked me about a previous issue I had. 

@Le_Kirk is right, thank you. Happy to answer any questions

I may not know all the rules of grammar. However, if you're trying to persuade people to assist, or advise, it seems to me you should use their language.
