Contravention code 11 - Redbridge with paid evidence
DIR By: Nick325i

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help given. I was going to go straight
to appeal without coming here first as it seems quite a
straightforward one but best to be safe. My wife parked up,
walked to the nearest sign, took the 4 digit Ringo code, paid
for parking and then crossed the road to shop. Came back to a
pcn issues at the same time she paid. The PCO must have been
literally waiting there for her to leave the car because you can
actually see her walking away in the picture. Im not sure if
they are on a Christmas bonus but its disgusting.

My wife ran it through Chatgpt and came up with the following
appeal, will it be sufficient?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally appeal against the parking fine issued
to me on 23rd December 2024, for parking at South Woodford, The
Shrubberies. I believe the fine was issued in error, as I had
paid for parking within the required timeframe.
I parked my vehicle at 4:14 PM and, after checking the parking
sign, I began to process the payment via the RingGo app. I
walked across the High Road to Marks and Spencer, and at 4:16
PM, I successfully completed the parking payment for a 2-hour
session. I received a notification confirming the payment at
4:17 PM, as shown in the attached screenshot.
I proceeded to do my Christmas shopping at Marks and Spencer,
where I completed my transaction at approximately 4:27 PM.
Following that, I met a friend at Gail's for coffee, and
returned to my vehicle at 6:15 PM, after which I drove off.
To my surprise, upon starting my car, my automatic wipers
activated due to the rain, and a parking ticket flew across my
windscreen. It was not properly attached to the car but was
wedged under the wiper. I had to stop in the road to retrieve
the ticket, only to find that I had been fined for not paying
for parking.
I would like to clarify that I had already paid for 2 hours of
parking through the RingGo app well within the legal time
limits. Given that the parking warden likely issued the ticket
within minutes of my departure, it seems clear that there was no
violation of parking regulations.
Please find attached proof of payment, and I request that the
fine be cancelled based on the evidence that I had paid for
parking at the time the ticket was issued.
Thank you for considering this appeal. I look forward to your
prompt response and the cancellation of this fine.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]

Just goes to show the weaknesses of such aids! It's probably
assembled the info you gave as best it could when what's needed
IMO is the ability to stand back, take a wider view as to what's
important and what's not and to focus on the former.
I refer to PCN ****** which alleges the contravention of parked
without payment of the parking charge. I also refer you to the
enclosed copy of my RingGo receipt showing that I had purchased
parking rights from 4.17 to 6.17pm (4.17 being inclusive).
As the contravention did not occur the PCN must be cancelled.
Yours...
As a suggestion.

Leave out the "thank you" sentence; they are obliged in law to
consider your representation.

Yes no contravention so Mr Anderson's text all that's needed.
Be wary about paying when away from car - always best to get
code and walk back to car.
