Working in Wandsworth recently just by battersea bridge road,Parking out back of a site we've been working on for a while now and I've been there a few times,rang the parking line that was already set up for my registration plate quoted the location etc,come back a couple hours later and had a ticket,then realising my stupidity that the vehicle already set up was my old van as I bought a new one last week and totally forgot myself when ringing it.

Is there any way of appealing this as technically I paid for the parking on the wrong vehicle,my old one was never there that day,my old van is still registered to me as is my new van and the phone and card that was used to pay for the parking?

Thanks
John U.K.
As usual, please post up the PCN (both sides)
Also post up a GSV (Google Street View) link to the location.

for how to do it. I use Tinypic for stage 2 with no problems.

Redact/obscure personal details, PCN no. Reg No.
LEAVE IN all dates/times; precise location, Contravention code and description.

What you have described is mitigating circumstances, and those are in the hand of the council, an adjudicator can only decide on the law. So, I'd submit an informal appeal within the 14 day discount period explaining the circumstances and ask that on this occasion, they cancel the PCN. Don't be too hopeful, however, as PCN income is now so huge, councils rarely give way on informal appeals. They often do on formal appeals, but for this you have to wait for the Notice to Owner and appeal formally. You have to risk the full PCN £130 too.

My advice is to informally appeal but if declined, pay the discount, and put it down as a learning opportunity in Life's Rich Pageant. I can't see a win here at London Tribunals, I'm afraid.
