Cheshire East PCN paid, but can I still contest?

My GF got a ticket while at work, and paid it pretty much immediately. After looking around on the forum, I've seen the ticket does not state 'Date of issue' on the main body, instead it says 'Served on'. However, it does state on the attached payment slip 'Date of Issue', although according to the topic below, it must say it on the main body, and is irrelevant if stated on the payment slip.

So, is there a chance she can get a refund for this? If so, where do I start, as I've never done this before!

That thread is 'years' old the legislation changed in 2008 so the wording you quote is now correct.

should i post up a pic of the ticket to see if there are any grounds for appeal?

Let's not raise any false expectations. Assuming this is a LA issued PCN, once paid it is very tough to get a refund. Payment is taken as an admission of liability by the LA and there is no formal process to get a refund (other than through the tough legal process of restitution).

 

To get a discretionary refund, truly exceptional reasons will need to be shown.
