"How much is it? " It's £25 for the next 14 days then it goes up to £50. I'm just a bit miffed because I did pay it! Lol I'm guessing they don't have ANPR to see that no car with my old reg entered or left. | |||

"So.... I went into Birmingham on the choo choo 2 weeks ago. The station I parked at was pay and display but you could also use the Ringo app which I did. However I forgot that despite me having a changs of car for over a year, my default car is my old one. I cake back to find I'd got a ticket because the car parked did not have a payment against it. I appealed the ticket that day sending evidence of yhe parking being paid on the wrong car and a screen shot of the Ringo account showing both registrations being on there. The appeal has been dismissed saying that the required parking payment was not made (even though it was but in the wrong reg no). I can either pay now or wait for further action letters to appeal again. What should I do? " Well, I was told that you csn google the company, and see if its private. If so dont pay it as it's too expensive for them to take you to court. Just what i was told anyway. Plus if it did go to court, you did pay for a parking space ffs. No matter what type of car you parked there! Which you could point out. In addition I'd look up an ombudsman type of thing, fair trade organisation type thing, seeing as you paid for a parking space. | |||

"As much as it pains me to say this...I would pay up front now and stop the hassle of them. It was a genuine mistake but these companies are not interested at all in anything but money. I would however invoice them for you money back on the parking fee you did pay as you can quite clearly prove you paid for a car to park there..." I like that answer. | |||

"Pay" Yes. Pay I don’t think its worth the hassle. They will stand with the fact your payment wasn’t paid against the car that was parked. Shitty I know, but if your corresponding by text, it’s easy for them to deal with it factually. | |||

It's bloody London, it's a nightmare trying to work out what ambiguous signage means and they're really trying it on now with all the cameras.

" And how much if / when you have to go to a mediation of the ticket will it be in time and lost wage because of time off work not forgetting the parking charge while you are there? I'd pay and chalk it up to a momentarily loss of concentration. | |||

"You paid it and they got their fee. They haven’t lost out on money and you got your car parked. Fight it! You made a mistake. They are bullies. Someone else mentioned daily emails. Do this. Send the same email with the proof every day. Cc the council in them all too. Good luck. Stick it to the man!!! " This. There's a statutory fine for everything these days & automation means it'll get worse & worse. When they get it wrong they'll word things so you'll pay anyway. Your are entitled to contest it. cc it to any consumer advice type programs you can think of too. Companies hate bad publicity. | |||

"Genuine question. Would it be possible for people to use the app as a way of deliberately trying to get out of paying for parking?" I can't see how. The issue isn't that I dudnt pay for parking.

"the smart move would be to pay it then appeal afterwards, if you loose it has just cost you the fine, you will probably get extra fine for not paying it on time, " But the notice tells you specifically not to pay if you want to appeal it. | |||

"I'd refuse to pay on the grounds that they haven't been financially impacted as the fee was paid. If it goes to court, it's unlikely the case will go against you as not only have you paid but you have provided them with evidence of payment. I would say that if you say you are happy to proceed with court action as you believe you have a strong case then the fee will be waived. Did you get chance to speak at the appeal? If not then it wasn't an appeal. " No was just an automated contact section on their website. | |||

"Pay I got one last xmas. Bought a ticket but parked in the wrong part of the car park. I looked into it and basically it comes under contract law. Id broken my part if the deal by not parking in a proper bay. Do yours would be similar. I paid in the end but it was doubled. Save yourself thr hassle and pay. It taught me to always read the signs so a valuable lesson." The first part of what you say is correct, it does fall under contract law -assuming it is a privately controlled car park. But, you have to be fully aware or be made aware of the stipulations of this contract upon entering the car park ( contract area!). If as you say you paid for the incorrect car, you have failed to honour your diff of the contract, you need to pay. You must then seek to gain re- embursment + stipulated costs for the recovery of the incorrect payment. You have to detail the exact costs Envelope 10p Stamp - ???p A4 paper - 6p Printer toner- 3p Phone calls - ??p note times Etc.... You have the right to start small claims action to recover this money and legal costs. | |||
