Blue Badge holder

Hello,
I parked in Coventry city centre just outside of CODE Fairfax Street, my sister, who is a blue badge holder with me in the car. I helped her take her stuff up in multiple trips as she is due to start uni soon.
On one of my trips back with the trolley, I came back to a ticket on the window - council - ‘Parking in a restricted area out of the prescribed time’
I flagged down the warden who was prancing about and he says that he noticed I’ve been going in and out of the car and that the badge is registered to someone older. 🙄
He demanded I bring my sister down from the 21st floor to prove that she was with me, I could’ve tbh, but refused to. I’d always been told anyway, once a ticket’s been processed, they can’t redact it.
He asked me her DOB, I said she was in her 20s and gave the exact birthday, he comes back to say it’s registered to someone in their 70s?! I’m really baffled here, can they make out the badge owner’s DOB from reg? Why would the warden goad me into saying otherwise when I know the badge is valid?
I’m still going to contest it. The badge was only in use for its rightful user and the gall of him, absolute w*nker

As its a council PCN, plus the Equality Act 2010 aspect etc, try posting over on the FTLA parking forum in the council section there after reading their posting requirements2
