Permit parking charge

Hello all,
A friend has just gotten a parking charge for being in a permit zone at a friends place. It is an E-permit and they had difficulty getting online so it got issued approx 30 mins after they got the ticket in question.
Is there any way out of this or just fork up?
Thank you in advance,
Nomad

    Who has issued this parking charge?
    At a guess, it looks like it might be a council issued ticket.
  • Have you or your friend read the Newbies/FAQ thread? Have you or they tried Plan A yet?
  • @KeithP it's Lambeth council in London mate.

    @UncleThomasCobley no I haven't, I'll have a look now thank you.

    OK, we tend to concentrate on tickets issued by private companies here and Pepipoo are better placed to deal with your problem.

    As we major on private parking tickets here, PePiPoo will be your best bet for council tickets. Register there but please note that a Hotmail address won't work - try using a throwaway Gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering, and post a new thread; here's your link:

    Read the sticky 'Read this before you post' as well as reading through some of the other threads there ahead of posting your own details, to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the council (both sides, if appropriate), as they need to see all the small print.
  • @KeithP Thank you for your help mate.
