NPM parking - legally can we ignore this?

Hello,

Had a letter through the post from
NPM parking saying I am liable for a £100 charge as I was on double yellows for 3 minutes on a Sunday morning at 6.59am. The reason I was on double yellows is that I was going to work (nurse) and my 2 year old was having a meltdown on the way to nanny's. I stopped to calm him.

Do I have to pay the £100 for this? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

Appeal it, if for no other reason than to give you extra time to pay.

I would do the opposite - pay then appeal, as normally it's cheaper to pay within the first 30 days and appeals can take much longer (and obviously be unsuccessful, leaving you with an even bigger bill).

When you appeal, it sticks at the charge on that day until accepted or denied.

I’d appeal. It’s worth a try. Co nused though - is this in the public highway? If so, it shouldn’t a private firm
