wrong ticket issued ?

[richardjgreen]

Yesterday July the 13th parked my car in a marked space and paid my £1 for one hour.

 

The maximum stay as stated on the sign is one hour,

there is nothing saying you must leave and not return in a certain time.

 

i put another £1 in for a extra hour,

the traffic warden arrives looks at my ticket and walks on

does his round of the car park and sees that someone had overstayed by 40 mins ans issues them with a ticket.

 

The bloke who got the ticket goes mental and tells the warden that I had been more than an hour

and insisted I get a ticket also.

 

Looking on my ticket it is issued for not displaying a ticket ??

 

can i appeal on a technical fault here?

[i hate bailiffs]

Is this a council car park?

Or private?

[richardjgreen]

it is a council car park

[JoeyJoeC]

Well if you displayed a ticket for parking. The PCN is invalid.

 

Out of curiosity, where is this car park?

[i hate bailiffs]

You will need to appeal this or pay

As before you know it bailiffs will become involved and massive fees

 

If you have the pay and display ticket it will gave a time on it as will the parking fine

Should be a easy appeal

[Jamberson]

Before you go ahead, can you tell us exactly what the contravention code is, as stated on the PCN?

 

And did you have your second ticket on display in the vehicle when he started to issue it?

[richardjgreen]

thank you for the reply guys, the car park is Ferry way Poole

there was only one ticket on display

[JoeyJoeC]

According to their website it is 1 hour limited.

 

"Notes: Ferry Way 1 hour limited waiting £1.00"

(Assuming this is all that is written on the meter) ... to me, this would mean you would have to leave the car park and come back again... but it's definitely not clear.

Could you answer my questions, in post 6. It's important to know the exact contravention - what you stand accused of - and what was on display.

[richardjgreen]

reply to post 6

sorry it is code 06p

[JoeyJoeC]

Well 06 is "Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket (non-goods vehicles)". Not sure what the "p" is for.

[richardjgreen]

so i'm thinking a technicality issue?

as my ticket was on display they have the wrong code?

and as my previous comment it does not say you have to leave and not return within a certain time frame

[Jamberson]

Code 06 is for on-street contraventions. You can check with the council whether that place is defined as on-street, or as a car park. If it's the latter, then the wrong contravention code has been used, but you'll have to find out to be sure.

 

And my other question? "did you have your second ticket on display in the vehicle when he started to issue it?"

[richardjgreen]

there was only one ticket on display

[Jamberson]

Look - do you want to know where you stand or not? The question is not how many tickets were on display. I am asking whether the second ticket was on display, when the CEO started issuing your PCN.

 

Just tell us. If you don't I'm giving up on the thread because you can't be helped if we don't know the facts.

[richardjgreen]

please dont get grumpy

the ticket on display was the valid one previous one in glove box

He made it clear that there was only one ticket on display. I'm not sure what you're having a problem with.

[JoeyJoeC]

You had paid for the all of the time you parked there. The CEO doesn't know if you were there for the previous hour, he's possibly just going on the member of the publics word.

 

He ticketed you for not displaying a ticket, but you were displaying one. Send an appeal and they should accept it. Send a copy of the ticket showing you paid.

[Jamberson]

Can't you read the post you yourself are quoting back at me?? I don't want to know how many were on display. It's irrelevant. Four times I've asked a different question and still nonethwiser. It's just a waste of time. You have to have a valid ticket on display when he starts issuing. Not any old ticket, as you seem to think. A valid, current one.

please dont get grumpy

the ticket on display was the valid one

 

previous one in glove box

 

^^^^^

[letsgetitsorted]

looking at the car park and the wording on the road, where the ticket is a car park, contravention should have been 83 Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket and not 06.

you say your ticket was clearly on display and the previous was in the glove box.

 

your appeal should be on 2 points

wrong contravention code

ticket clearly on display.

 

when you appeal send in a copy of the ticket purchased, to show a valid ticket was there when the PCN was issued.

[JoeyJoeC]

Wouldn't the CEO have to take a picture of the windscreen to show that no ticket was on display? This should the ticket he bought if so?

[letsgetitsorted]

yes the ceo should have taken a picture of the ticket on display, however photographs are considered as secondary evidence so there no obligation for photo to be taken.

[green_and_mean]

your appeal should be on 2 points

wrong contravention code

ticket clearly on display.

 

 

What has the wrong code got to do with it? He is alledged to have failed to display a valid ticket that is the only contravention that needs to be addressed.

[letsgetitsorted]

however the wrong code was used to issue the ticket, 06 instead of 83, so i would have thought that to points of appeal would be better than one
