When Can You Appeal a Parking Ticket?
There comes
a time in our lives when we return to the car after a quick sprint around Poundland,
sweat dripping and hands full of shopping, only to find one of those big yellow
stickers of hate slapped on to your windscreen.
Now as much
as it frustrates us, if we were in the wrong we must take it on the chin and
cough up the fine.
However, there are
some instances where you can appeal a parking ticket and the fine may be deemed
unfair by the council or an independent adjudicator if:
·
Signs were wrong - If
the signs weren’t visible or gave the wrong information.
·
The traffic warden got it wrong - E.g.
if they gave you a ticket when they shouldn’t have.
·
An error on the letter or ticket - If
they’ve left out any information on the ‘Notice to Owner’ letter, then you
could get it waived.
·
You didn’t own the vehicle at the time -
You’ll have to prove this, such as information you provided to the DVLA.
·
Your car was stolen - If
a thief parked the car illegally then you can get it waived.
