£1.50 short
Unbelievable - as soon as I get one of these sorted another one pops through the letterbox.
Paid 4.75 for 3 hours but was feeling unwell and sat in my car for a bit which meant I should have paid 6.25. Thought I'd paid for more hours than I actually had and didn't see a reminder from the ring go app saying I needed to extend.
Is £100 fine reasonable for accidentally forgetting to pay an extra £1.50. As it is I get the same charge for someone not paying at all
Also note reg plate unteadable

completely unreasonable. don't pay.
go to the business for which the parking is intended and ask them nicely to get this invoice cancelled.

No business near it - on a bit of waste land tbh

But, £100 has been the maximum daily charge for a pcn for the last 14 years and is also the published maximum in the recent MHCLG announcement this week in the news, plus £85 was ratified in the Barry Beavis case 11 years ago in the Supreme Court, so nothing to see there regarding the charge of £100 ( an underpayment on trains , trams, buses and the Tube is similar )
The £100 maximum is also in the joint PPS Code of Practice
Stick to fighting these cases with your feet on solid foundations, not quicksand !
So as mentioned above, plan A is always the best option, the complaint mentioned above
Plans B & C require a reasonable pushback argument like Pofa2012 etc
The pictures are probably via ANPR cameras, that must have correctly obtained the VRM details, they are not supposed to be passport quality

I'd always argue penalty for a PCN where the interest is in being paid a small amount. It would be at the end though because it's a subjective argument of proportion and darkened with a big Beavis shaped shadow.
I'm a random person on the internet. I hold no legal qualifications and nothing I say is advice.

I can't find any record of this company ever making a court claim. I would just ignore personally.

AI has an interesting view of the matter
I mean I paid 76% of what I was supposed to so it should only be a £25 fine

That AI summary is awful.
And you don't have a fine.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Which parts of the summary don't you like?

All of it, it is utter tripe!
It isn't a "fine"
The "new code of practice" hasn't been implemented.
It won't be effective for another three weeks.
If it had it would't be retrospective.
A private parking operator will not have to cancel a PCN for being £1.50 short.
Doesn't mean you should pay it obviously, but please don't rely on AI rubbish like that.
Maybe you need to try better search terms in Google, or better still come here first😉

Is it not worth appealing then? Should I just wait until they begin court proceedings?
