Unreasonable parking fine

[Needingadvice2023]

I am so cross. I have received a fine from the National Parking Control for £60.

I paid for 30 minutes on the Ringo app and they said I was on the car park for 30 minutes and 16 seconds. It just feels criminal that they can do this. I have appealed with photo evidence of the Ringo app payment and they have declined with no explanation. I have escalated the appeal.

AIBU to hold my nerve as I can't believe this fine will be upheld in court?

Has this happened to anyone else and did you appeal and succeed?

Well you paid for parking. I’m sure it was longer than 16 seconds to entree and leave the spot. I’d just say I’d paid for parking, as contracted. It’s not a ‘pay to enter the land charge’, it’s a parking charge
