On Bank holiday monday I visited Bolton and parked on a Council Carpark that is managed by NCP. My daughter paid for a 4 hours parking ticket and placed it in the front passenger window when she was getting my grandchild out of the car.

 

When I returned at 14.30 I had been given a NCP Parking Contravention Notice...this had been placed at the side of my tax disc and therefore the attendant would have been able to see the P&D ticket

 

The infringment was for not clearly displaying a valid parking ticket. But I had and still have the P&D ticket I bought.

 

I think the reason I have been given a ticket is because it was not in the WINDSCREEN.

 

I am worried now ...should I Appeal but I keep reading that I should ignore the Contravention notice as the contract is with the driver which they would have to prove. If I appeal against the ticket then I would be admitting that I was the driver on the day .......WHAT SHOULD I DO ???

 

Please help - the 14 day reduced penalty is up soon :(

Is this a council ticket or PPC ? You text confuses them. if its council contract/driver issues not relevant - but neither is the ticket. if its council if the person appearing to the owner. Sounds like they stuck their ticket on to cover up yours - yes ?

i would appeal if the ticket was in the windscreen and clearly visible then they will have to prove that it wasn't visible. It's probably just an over zealous warden trying to hit their targets for the day.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Sorry for the confusion

 

I rang Bolton Council - they say this is a Private Parking ticket - there is no mention of Bolton Council on the PCN

 

My daughter put the pay and display ticket in the front passenger window - they put the PCN at the left of the windscreen next to my tax disc so they must have been on the left of the car and should have easily been able to see the one in the passenger window

 

Should I appeal or ignore?

Any chance you can scan and post the ticket up on here removing all ID/VRN,?

So......is everyones advice 'ignore'........I would honestly have paid the fine if I hadnt paid and displayed and my knee jerk reaction is to appeal as I have still got the P&D ticket that was bought but dont wasnt to open another can of worms because then I have admitted that I was the driver of the car.

 

Should I seek legal advice......would it be worth the cost?????????

 

HELP:confused:

So......is everyones advice 'ignore'........

It's by far the easiest (and most effective) way of dealing with PPC invoices

I would honestly have paid the fine if I hadnt paid and displayed and my knee jerk reaction is to appeal as I have still got the P&D ticket that was bought but dont wasnt to open another can of worms because then I have admitted that I was the driver of the car.

If you contact them at all, they will hound you all the more

All the advice you need is on these forums ...and it's free

Im am receiving exactly the paperwork described on your link ......must admit though its frightening ......even though I paid and displayed I have never been in this situation before ......I find that not been able to appeal properly very distressing ......I almost wish I could have taken this to a solictor and make NCP pay for the distress caused !!!!
