on Dec 18th i was told by a parking attendent to move on or i’d be booked!! 1st wk in jan a letter informing me of non payment arrived telling me i now owed £60!! 
well today i received a letter & it goes… i refer to your representation in connection with the issue of a penalty charge notice, i can now inform you that your representation has beeN ACCEPTED & the notice to yourself has been withdrawn!! YA BEAUTY!! 
just goes to show its worth fighting the system
well done I.B.
Things like this really cheer you up well done mate! I had a phone call last week of the water comany telling me they owed me £50 and would a cheque be ok?
Doesn’t something like that just make your day Well done
I have successfully challenged parking fines with several local authorities over the years. I believe that when they get a reasonable challenge they give in because it’s cheaper than fighting it out in court.
The important thing is to make a reasonable case why you were there. A letter saying “Youse are all [zb]wits and the Warden is a [zb]head so you can stuff your ticket where the sun don’t shine” has a low probability of success.
But it feels a lot better. 
there was a program about the traffic wardens in london a year or 2 back, i’m sure something like 1 in 3 contested tickets were revoked, whatever it was it was high anyway!
i once got booked fully legally unloading in a loading bay at the back of a shop on stoke newington high street. when i pointed this out she just showed me how to contest it, which i presume the gaffer did. they recruit idiots - fact!
