Oxford City council, code 06 - Unauthorised class of vehicle.

Options
Hi,

I have received an Oxford city council ECN pasted on my windshield after paying for the parking online with RingGo. The parking location & parking ECN are posted below.

The ECN says infringement code - 06, Unauthorised class of vehicle. Upon doing a quick search found from Oxford council's own website - https:// mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk/
documents/s27341/CA_OCT2114R04 - Parking Policy Annex 1.pdf

That code 06 means - 06 Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket or voucher.

But I had done payment via App. I have my parking receipt from App, and you can't display it on car.

One person in the car park though told me that the parking inspector put a notice because my car was parked at a location where cars should not be parked.

Well, I did not know that, as when I entered the car park 4 cars were parked there and one of them came out and I got a place to park. So it was absolutely not clear if that was not a place to be parked.

On the photo you can see there is another volvo besides my car, that also had a Penalty stuck to it's windscreen. But there was a red Nissan on the right side without any ticket.

And a 3rd photo of cars which are not parked inside the bays obstructing parking. Also without any tickets.

I want to understand how and what should I make the appeal against. Also the penalty charges are more expensive £100/£50(reduced rate) as opposed to £70/£35 standard council rates.

Thanks

    As we major on private parking tickets here, Free Traffic Legal Advice (FTLA) forum will be your best bet for council penalty charges. Register there but please note that a Hotmail address may not 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 first before posting your case' 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.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
