Hi all,
I parked in Ealing in October with a friend and her four year old. I paid for the parking using the RingGo app while carrying the very excited four year old (we were going to a playground). I didn't notice that the RingGo app had defaulted to my old vehicle (scrapped in April 2015), rather than showing the one I'd used more recently, and hence paid for a non-existent car. I even extended the parking from the playground using RingGo. I didn't overstay. I got back to the car to find a ticket on it and realised my mistake. I even had a friendly chat to the CEO from Ealing Council, who was marginally sympathetic, but indicated he couldn't revoke it and I'd need to appeal. Fair enough. He's doing his job. I appealed online explaining the issue, but they rather predictably rejected my appeal. Their argument revolved around the fact that they'd followed process, not whether, in the additional knowledge that I'd paid for the space, the fine is fair. The car I paid for no longer exists, but I no longer have any documentation for it. If you look on the DVLA website, it states that no car with that registration is licenced, but that is all. I've subsequently waited for and received an NTO as I'd like to fight this (I paid for the space the car was parked in). I'm unsure of my next move. There are various threads quoting guidance by the secretary of state, and also indicating that I should try and get the issue adjucated by POPLA (not sure who POPLA are yet). Document scans are attached. Any help gratefully received. Thanks, Mark |
