       Hi everyone !
       I parked on Windmill Hill (enfield) at 09:22AM and there was no
       visible signage indicating the area was a pay and display, I
       suspected that it was so remained in my car and googled ways to
       pay for my parking (This is all in my browser history).
       It was not clear on google whether the area was a pay and
       display, so l exited my car and went into the nearest shop
       (Solange Salon) at 09:26 to ask whether the area was a pay and
       display, the salon was literally opposite my car and i could see
       my car out of the window
       The salon it was pay and display and the receptionist went to
       get me a piece of paper they keep with the parking info on so i
       could pay. As she was getting it, a ticket officer arrived at my
       car, I went outside to explain i was paying and the ticket
       officer apologised as hadn't seen me in the salon but said once
       the PCN is printed it can't be taken back, she advised to pay
       for my parking (which i did) and appeal the PCN as I was in the
       process of paying for my parking, she gave me her ticket officer
       number.
       I parked from 09:22-09:35AM which is 13 minutes.
       I appealed the PCN with the above text and attached photo
       evidence of my location and time spent there, browser history,
       and picture of the street showing no signage and have had the
       appeal rejected with the below response
       My questions are as follows:
       1. Is it worth letting this go to court?
       2. How can one be expected to find the parking signage whilst
       also NOT leaving their vehicle unattended?
       Additionally, I was watching my car through the window the whole
       time. I feel as though I was making reasonable efforts to pay
       for my parking (and i DID pay for my parking after I was given
       the correct signage.
       3. If I do not pay and it goes to court, will I need to declare
       this on my insurance? Will it impact my credit score or anything
       else?
       Thanks so much

       No PCN.
       What are the PCN number and car VRM.

       The PCN is served under civil law and  therefore is
       non-criminal, so you do not have to report it to your insurance
       company. There is no possible impact on your credit score; CCJs
       cannot be awarded in the applicable legislation, which was
       carefully written many years ago to avoid this possibility.
