On 23 11 17, The UK wide RINGO online parking app was down.
I use this regularly and it was not until I had left the car park and had got on a train that I knew the app was broken.
SO I get back to car and have a fine of £60
RINGO on the day put out online notices say they would notify the Parking Operators of the problem and I would have to appeal to them if a PCN was issued
So I appeal to a compny called PPS who own the car park.
I lose the appeal as Rule 11 states I shouldnt leave the car park unless having paid by online, cash, telephone or credit card. Having investigated it wasnt possible to do any of those except the cash, but as I had parked the fine still stands. i.e. I should have left the car park! I reckon about 2-300 cars were fined on that day...and about 200k across the uk
I dont carry loose change of £12 quid and I doubt if any one else does.
What grounds or whom should I appeal to..I am already at Arbiration stage with Independent Parking Committee and if this goes against me im up for a lifted fine to £100, it would seem Im up a river in a boat without a paddle.
Watch dog have been contacted
Thanks for looking..any advice or past experince of these bastards much appreciatted
