Parked in swindon this weekend and got a penalty charge notice ticket where I put in £1 for two hours parking as per the parking machine sign stated. Returned to my within the two hours to find a ticket and the machine had only allowed 1 hour (this was printed on the ticket but by habbit I didnt check it at the time) there was an A4 piece of paper stuck to the right of the charges to say that prices had changed but I didnt even notice this when I paid. Anything I can do about this, its a bit of a trap really.

Many Thanks.

IF it is a local authority car park then the pcn is enforceable and you're liable to have to pay it - I have seen cases where this exact thing has happened and appeals have failed because you should have checked the time on the display/ticket though the machines should not accept an overpayment IMO. If it is not and it is operated by a private company as per advice on other threads this is an unenforceable invoice and not a fine and can be ignored.

 

So it depends who issued it... pictures of it with personal details removed would help. You wouldn't lose anything by appealing, only time before closure, if you do feel that the signage is not displaying the correct price the machine is charging, which would presumably then become dependent on wanting to drop the PCN for the sake of the costs of an appeal and a few pounds.

The above post constitutes my personal opinion on the facts in the post compared with my personal knowledge of the applicable legislation. I make no guarantees of its legal accuracy. If you are in doubt seek advice of a legal professional specialising in the area concerned.
