Forgot to display ticket and got 10 PCNs

Addlestoner

Whilst my own car was having its MOT I borrowed by son's car to do the school run.  On returning home, in my haste to get back to work, I forgot to display my visitor permit.
As my son is at uni the car is not regularly used, and was not used for the next 2 weeks.
After 12 days I received a PCN, which alerted me to my mistake.  I immediately displayed the permit.  The car was parked in the bay outside my house and I see it every day.
However, no parking ticket was stuck to the windscreen so I was oblivious to the fact that I had forgotten to display the permit.  They only sent the PCN's via post.
Normally I would pay for it, as it is my mistake, and pay the reduced amount of £60 (from £100).
However, I then received a further 9 PCNs, for each subsequent day I was parked , before I was alerted to my mistake.
Although I am willing to pay for the first PCN, I believe that the subsequent 9 tickets are unreasonable.  Simply because of the time taken for the parking company to alert me of my mistake.
The car was legally parked, outside my house, and the only thing I did not do was to display the permit.
Having to pay £600 (10x£60) seems too much for one mistake.
I have appealed initially and it was returned, so I now have to decide whether to go to the independent adjudicator.
What makes the thing more annoying is that the parking company is working on behalf of the residents management group that manage our estate, and the parking contractor was only brought in to stop non-residents parking.
Do I have any chance of having my PCN's rescinded?

As you say - your car was legally parked.  The only thing it slipped you mind to do was to put a permit in the window.

A missing piece of paper in your car window does not change the fact that you were legally parked, and it does not warrant a charge of £600.  I would suggest raising the issue via the residents management group.  They are responsible for managing the parking.  The parking company are only employed to issue PCNs to cars not displaying permits.

No you wouldn't!  Please say you would not.  These are not fines.  Perfectly defendable in court with no risk of a CCJ.

"So I now have to decide whether to go to the independent adjudicator."

Errr... there isn't one.  Not independent. Not competent either, IMHO.

- whose name is on the PCNs, your son?  Or did you appeal them ALL and get them in your name as driver?

- which PPC infests your estate?

- why have the residents agreed to this scam?

- do you own the property?  Or rent?

- why did you have to be a 'visitor' when you were in fact a resident?

- what does the sign there say?  Show a pic.

Who's parking bay were you parked in?

Is this your bay?

is this a car park area on a first come first get basis, or assigned bays?
