Appeal Parking Ticket - Can I Win?

It has been estimated that in a year, two third of all the parking tickets issued on motoring publics are illegal. You can always appeal parking ticket charges to right the wrong. It is to be noted that if you choose to appeal parking ticket, and in case you lose, the 50% discount on the parking fine set by the council is still valid.

Bet you did not know though that virtually almost 100% of tickets can be cancelled by just writing a single short and simple letter. This applies to literally almost any parking ticket you receive.

There are a lot of ways the parking tickets you received can be cancelled out. There are also a lot of ways to show that the parking ticket was issued to you unjustly and therefore cancelled. All these can be done in 10 minutes, just by writing a letter.

Under 1% of those who receive a parking ticket ever bother to appeal. Yet amazingly of that tiny proportion that does appeal over 66% of them win their appeal. Using some clever little loop holes in the system you can win almost every time! However being right does not stop some councils turning down your appeal. Be prepared to appeal again. All this usually equates to is submitting the same argument in your new appeals. Most local Councils will not want to go all the way to tribunal.

People have a misconception that they will lose the discounted fine rate if they lose the appeal but this is not true. Even if your appeal is rejected, you can pay the fine in the discounted rate, but you should note that this rule is not valid for the red routes of London.

Most of the Local Authorities are not in favor of appeals simply because it costs. There is a tendency by them to reject the appeal. This is done illegally but is hard to prove.

The Local Authorities reject the appeal because a second appeal and its rejection means paying 100% of the fine amount. It saves the Local Authorities the money and people do not want to take the appeal process further. However a third appeal might give a good chance of winning because it leads the way to the Tribunal and costs the Local Authorities in money and time.

Some Local Authorities cannot even be bothered to answer your appeal. If you hear nothing after 56 days then the parking ticket is void.

It is advised that whatever you do, pay the fine or appeal parking ticket, do not ignore them. The Local Authorities use the service of the Bailiffs to collect the fine. One can land at your home within 3 years of receipt of the parking ticket and then the fine amount can go up to 1000 plus the Bailiff's fees.
