Parking Charge

We came out of a shopping centre and discovered our Blue Badge had fallen from the dashboard onto the floor and a week later we had a Parking Ticket £85 or £50 if we paid early. I have appealed to Brit Parking and sent on a copy of my Blue Badge. What do you think of my chances of being excused?

Re: Parking Charge

Probably depends on who deals with it. You'd hope they would be sympathetic but could say that the "rules" state the badge must be clearly displayed.

Re: Parking Charge

The badges aren't linked to any vehicle. It could just be anybody's blue badge that was sent as proof.

Re: Parking Charge

The parking company probably won’t be sympathetic but there is an independent appeals process you can go to afterwards - your chances are better there. Stick with it.

Good luck nash as we appealed against ours a while back and once certain information came to hand they had no other option but to rescind the parking fine.

Was this a Penalty Charge Notice or a Parking Charge Notice?

The difference is highly relative. Whilst you may get some consideration with the former, as this is a council run charge, they may still insist you pay. Was caught out by a council whose staff actually saw me go to the machine and get a ticket. Unfortunately it flipped over when I shut the car door, so fell foul of the rules and had to pay.

The latter is not much more than a a private invoice, which they may chase you for regardless.

Check this out.
