  1. Well I've just challenged a ticket that I got a few days ago that I think is invalid (see recent posting) as no two digit contravention code. I have also though requested a cancellation on compassionate grounds - 13 mins over time as counselling a bereaved person. Also mentioned that I'd actually paid 10p excess as the machine didn't give change which I don't understand at all - just an another way to screw yet more money from the motorist. So, might be worth try, anything's possible.
  2. Have already posted to Chadley regarding colour issue, ticket should be invalid if colour missing or wrong. The word 'Offence' is not allowed because there has been a decriminalisation regarding parking misdemeanours - the word contravention must be used. Lots on this site about this, so worth doing a search. Hope this helps!
  3. Thanks BC, have challenged it stating it's invalid because of missing contravention code - will post again when the verdict's in!
  4. I would think the ticket is invalid. I once got a ticket with the wrong make of vehicle recorded - parking attendent had put down Hyundai when I drive an Honda. I challenged it with council stating that though the registration number was correct that if they checked they would see that the vehicle was an Honda. I didn't admit anything in my letter to them - just stated the facts and that the ticket was therefore invalid. I was successful - ticket quashed! You might be in with a chance here as colour must be correct too. If your registration document states red then it's red. Nothing to lose by challenging it within 14 days. Wise to send letter by recorded delivery, only costs about a pound, then you have proof that you challenged within time limit. Good luck!
  5. Hi all I'm new, I've received a PCN today and having scrutinised it I find there is no two digit contravention code. The NPAS website (know your PCN section) shows a ticket with this - mine should show '05' and it is missing. Is my ticket invalid because of this? Exceeded pay and display by 13 minutes - I was in a church counselling a distressed bereaved client! I was parked right outside the door with a notice displayed indicating that it was a bereavement drop-in. I'd paid £2.40 for 2 hours of parking which is pretty extortionate anyway. I am so angry, these parking penalties are getting beyond the joke. This is the second time I've got a ticket while doing voluntary work too. All help appreciated. Thanks.
