       Received PCN today - I did pay for parking, but on the wrong car

       Received a PCN today 11/06/2025 - as stated above, I paid for
       parking and have receipts to prove, however, I paid under the
       wrong reg as I recently changed car.
       I paid via an app (PayByPhone) in Leeds. As soon as I typed in
       the streetcode, I paid using my saved details, I was unaware
       that I had done so with my old vehicle. I forgot to change the
       reg to my new one.
       What are my options?
       I will copy what the PCN says on the front as it will be easier
       than redacting personal details. I have attached a copy of the
       reverse.
       The PCN reads:
       Civil enforcement officer had reason to believe that the
       following contravention had occurred and that a Penalty Charge
       is now payable. 11 parked without payment of the parking charge.
       A penalty charge of £50 is now payable and must be paid not
       later than the last day of the period of 28 days beginning with
       the date on which this PCN was served.
       The penalty charge will be reduced by a discount of £25.00 if it
       is paid not later than the last day of the period of 14 days
       beginning with the date on which this PCN was served.

       There's no need to hide any details on a wndcreen PCN.
       Assuming you don't want us to see the council's pics or location
       which may possibly give some other info I would make a polite
       ask for discretion for a first time honest mistake that has no
       loss to the council, enclosing the receipt.
       You can also point out that the parking charge was paid, whereas
       the PCN says it wasn't.

       Thank you - I will make an appeal on this basis. Do you think it
       might also be worth saying that it was a major keying error, as
       someone told me elsewhere?

       A major keying error? I thought you'd just selected the wrong
       VRM.
