Parking Fine

I parked my car at 09.22 on the 21 Jan and paid for a 1hr parking period using the Ringo app. The payment was going through while I raced across to the Doctors for an urgent repeat prescription. I was gone for no more than 3.5mins and came back to my car to find the parking attendant issuing a ticket. I explained I had paid for parking and was literally gone for a few mins. I then looked at my phone and saw an error message with the payment. The ticket was issue at 09.26 so the warden must have pounced as soon as I parked my car. I appealed the PCN including a screenshot of the error message on the payment screen but my appeal has so far been rejected. The screenshot should’ve been sufficient proof of my intention to pay and I as also only gone for a few minutes. Where do I stand with regards to a further appeal?
Thanks

Council?
Does the PCN show the car was observed for 5 minutes?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Sorry for my delayed reply and thank you for your message. I parked in a pay for space on a road at 09.22 and I have a screenshot from the Ringo app showing I tried to pay at this time but that an error occurred. As I was racing across to the doctor and the error message didn’t immediately occur I didn’t see the error until I returned to my car at 09.26 which is the time of the contravention on the PCN letter from the London Borough of Redbridge. So in short I was parked for less than 4 minutes when the warden issues the ticket0

For council tickets, you would be better taking this over to our friends on the FTLA forum as they are the council and police motoring experts.
