UK Car Park Management

Hello everyone, I am not sure if I am posting in the right place, forgive me if I am not.

I have been giving a ticket by the company who are monitoring the car park for my housing association, I have a permit to park in unnumbered bays but unfortunately there were no spaces available and I had no option but to park on double yellow line and placed my blue badge, the funny thing is the photos they have on file doesn’t show my dashboard where I have my blue badge displayed, instead the parking officer took the photos from distance, do you think I should appeal it or ignore it, if I do appeal what grounds should I be using in my appeal, your support of much appreciated.

    Typical, depict DYLs as if it is a normal road where a blue badge holder can park, or someone can unload, but then hide the fact on a sign somewhere that you can't.

    These are greedy scammers, and their incentivised employee, they are not "parking officers", will have taken the photos like that on purpose.

    Start by complaining to the housing association and also do as @Jame4ters said above, also do you have photos of any signage on site?
