Paid for insufficient time (ANPR)

HelloandThankYou

Hi,

I have received a penalty charge from smart parking for the above contravention. I initially didn't realise this was the reason for the fine, so I sent an appeal already showing my receipt. 

I have parked in this car park a couple of times prior and there are no options for adding the amount of hours you parked. I just inserted my registration plate and paid the amount on the screen.

I doubt that its a penalty charge,  Smart Parking dont issue them

Neither is it a fine, Magistrates issue those

Have you complained about it to the landowner or landlord or business yet  ?

Have you appealed as keeper yet  ?

Do not reveal who was driving if you appeal it 

Do not expect a cancellation,  it won't happen 

But do not pay   !

@Gr1pr

It says parking charge.

I am planning to go back to the site on Wednesday to see if I can speak to the landowner. 

I have appealed but I'm not sure if it asked about me being keeper or not.

If I di not pay will bailiffs not be sent to my house?

Thank you

Thank you for the links to the forums, I will have a read now.

Also what difference is it if its a penalty fine or parking charge ?

No bailiffs will call at your property,  not for 1 low cost pcn 

Your appeal will be rejected 

Definitely keep trying plan A in the newbies sticky thread

if you have a read of the link I gave ..... much, if not all we be explained......... 

penalty charge = police , council ....

parking charge = invoice for breaking a contract with a scam .........  private parking company

Smart Parking PCNs go to DCB Legal, who will make a court claim, but discontinue a few months later after you defend the case using the online form.

No CCJ as long as you respond to the claim form. You'll receive a Notice Before Claim from DCB Legal first, so you'll be ready for the brown envelope.

But we're talking next summer.

No bailiffs in any case.

Certainly no paying.

Of course not! Wow... sounds like you need to read the MSE Guide linked at the top of the page. Nobody ever pays Smart Patking.
