Whilst parking for my case against WY Parking (which I won), I return to my car with a PCN attached (FML)

I paid (confirmed money has left my bank account also) using my debit card

- The ticket machine gave 2 tickets (both saying DISPLAY THIS WAY UP ON DASHBOARD).

I took the ticket showing my parking fee more clearly to claim for costs.. Still displayed the counterpart though.

I am still within my appeal timescale: Just want to confirm what I should write where it says "Why do you think you should not have been given a ticket"

As this is a penalty charge notice from the council, I've moved you to the local authority parking forum.

It would help greatly if you could put your pdf's into one file please. Instructions should be in the upload guide.

Do you mean to say, you bought a pay and display ticket, then left the car park with it in your pocket?

Little wonder you were issued a PCN, if that is the case.

You should write a brief appeal letter explaining what happened and why, and hoping for some good will. At the end of the day, the pay and display scheme requires the driver to do both those things - pay for it, then display it in the vehicle.

If you would care to read the original post properly/ read the pdfs (which include pictures)-

I paid, 2 tickets issued (both saying Display on dashboard). I displayed one and took the other with me for proof of parking costs.

There weren't two tickets issued. One was the P&D ticket (with a clear expiry time), the other was a receipt for your credit card payment.

You displayed the wrong one.

I did read it properly. You paid to park and took the ticket with you. Exactly what I suggested you had done, and I was right.

No need to thank me for taking the time to read your post, open your pdfs, check your images and type out a reply, free of charge.

Seriously, it's not called "pay and take away with you", is it? It's called "pay and display". I wonder why?

you ask the council to cancel, sending them a photocoy or scan of both of the ticket parts and explain that you were confused over which was the correct bit to leave. DOnt tell them you took it into court for your expenses, they wont be so forgiving as they will be for a simple error.
