Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I know a lot of the advice from this site relates to private companies, but wanted to seek advice on a pcn I got this week.
I parked on a pavement (well, one wheel on the pavement) with a single yellow line at 6.54pm to attend my son's carol service. I thought it was ok given it was after 6.30pm.
A lot of other cars were also parked there, so I thought it was ok, but when we came out of the service at 8.30pm we all got parking notices.
There were no signs to indicate you can't parked there.
I'm planning to appeal, do I have any hope of winning?
1 please post the ticket, it depends on what you have been ticketed for.
2 as far as I am aware it is illegal to park with any wheel on the pavement at any time (exept where specific provision for parking on the pavement is in force.)
If you can post the ticket front and back (remove your registration number) we can check it to see if there are any inconsistencies.
You say there are NO signs visible from where you parked? can you please check that.

Click the "upload image" box and browse to find the file of your scanned jpeg on your hard disk
It will then upload the image to Photobucket and it will show you thumbnails of the images you have uploaded. Under each image there are links that you can copy and paste.
Copy and paste the IMG Code link from Photobucket to the reply box on your thread here, which will look like this:
Scan it into your computer and make sure the file is saved as a jpg/jpeg.
If you don't have a scanner, try using a digital camera (or a phone camera). You may need to set it to "macro" mode so that the text can be seen. Most digital cameras are capable of capturing text adequately.
2) Remove Personal Details
Open the image in Paint or similar program.
Paint Toolbar
To edit out the personal information click on the dashed rectangle (top right, circled above), drag it over the areas you want to erase, then press delete on your keyboard.
Save the file once the appropriate information has been removed, remembering where on the computer you've saved it.
Was seen at Hayes Road (BR2)
At: 18:54
Date of contravention: 16/12/2008
Civil enforcement officer number 150 believed that the following contravention was commited.
"Parked with one or more wheels on any part of an urban road other than a carriageway".
Contravention code: 62
The rest is basically, the amount of the charge and the discount you'll get if paid within 14 days.
At the back of the notice, goes on about how to challenge the notice and the grounds you could use to challenge it.
no - we need to see the actual notice in case there are any mistakes.
also it would be useful to know where in the world this happened

Assuming its in London unless you are in a marked bay there is very little chance of getting off the actual contravention, Parking on the footway has been illegal in London for years unless you are loading which you say you were not. You can only hope that there is something fundamentally wrong with the paperwork or else paying at the 50% discount would be the best option.
You could try informal reps say you only parked a few mins to collect/drop your child from/to the service and ask for mitigation to be taken into consideration, then you could still pay at the 50% if they say no. Other than that there is not much else you can do.....sorry!
Parking Charge Notice from a council - 7pm
I got this week.
