Got a ticket but there's no signs.

Went to go look at a car I wanted to buy and when I came back a yellow sticker was on my car. I was like 😒


Taking it off, I looked at the reason and was like "!!!!!!. There's no prescribed hours signs." to make sure I drove up and down the road twice going slowly but the only signs I saw was one that said cctv and another that said "no parking" on the gate outside this business which I wasn't parked outside. But there were three (or more I think) cars parked in front of that sign and only mine and the one in front got the tickets. 😒

There were also lots of cars parked fully on the pavement but with no tickets on them.

Would this be an easy thing to appeal?

    Thats not a private parking ticket - you should try here: https://www.ftla.uk/

    They deal more with council parking tickets.

    Councils can now enforce these offences. Our council have a car with a camera mounted on the roof . Have a field day.

    Don't think that's a good idea. Do you always pay any invoice without question?

    If I were to send you a bill for £100 for having to go to the trouble of reading your posts, would you pay it?
    Of course not.
    But if I then offer a discount to £50 would that get you interested?

    If I parked on a double yellow yes I would pay the £35

    Note these are not invoices, issued by the normal parking rouges. Councils issue (PCN) fines.

    Even though you are allowed to stop on DYL?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
