Really annoyed. I parked in a private car park as I had a training day in London. when i got back to my car the ticket I had purchased had flipped over so it was face down. This must have happened when I closed the door and I didn't realise. Found that I had got a parking ticket (£70 if paid within 7 days, £100 thereafter and this is Oxfordshire not central Londo FGS!!) and appealed as I had a valid ticket. Was hoping they might be understanding but no. Had a reply saying it was valid and I still have to pay. have read a few things on the internet saying these tickets are legally unenforceable but wanted some advice. I am also in the first trimester and at the moment not keen on seeing bailiffs turn up or getting abusive letters. I am prepared to go to court as I feel this is unreasonable.
Any help much appreciated. I am torn between paying it to get them off my case or telling them I will see them in court.
thanks

to expect to not pay this parking fine as my ticket blew over when I closed the car door?
