I know this will have no doubt been done to death but I just wondered on what the best course of action was.
I parked at Hull docks on Thurs 16th jan and paid and received parking ticket until my return on the 19th Jan, popped it in the car, shut the door and toddled off to get on the boat.
I got back on the 19th and there was an PCN stuck to my window which was issued by PPS Premier Parking Solutions on 17th Jan for 'no valid ticket displayed on dashboard) Baffled by this I opened the car door and realised the ticket had - I assume - blown onto the floormat when I had shut the door, it was just a paper ticket not a sticky one.
I have dont want to pay the charge obviously as it's absurd to fine someone for not displaying a ticket, even when they have paid..... but what is the best course of action?
I really dont want to be bombarded with letters etc, nor do I want to have some long drawn out process hanging around.
Facts:
Car was parked in the car park within a bay as marked out.
I have the original ticket but no receipt.
I have the Parking Charge No.
I have a copy of my bank statement showing the transaction.
I have a copy of the hotel booking & P&O booking showing when I was away and when I returned.
Their website states that they will not accept an appeal on the grounds of the ticket blowing or falling off the dashboard.
Any advice much appreciated.
