Man charged for "nonpayment" of parking charge, despite having proof

I had the same issued. Paid at the machine and could prove through my bank that I paid the correct amount at the correct time in the correct place to the correct company. They took it to court. Hearing last week.
The company tried to claim I hadn't paid but only supplied a printout of payments via the app, not from the machine. Once it became apparent that I had paid, the company's solicitor tried to claim I hadn't entered my registration correctly. No evidence of this was offered. The judge ruled in my favour. I was awarded costs, including the £6 that I paid to park outside the court house!

As part of my case, submitted before the hearing, I used multiple quotes from this website and others to demonstrate that the company is not trustworthy. So a big thank-you to all contributors. Victory for the small guy!

Hi Stephen,
I'm currently going through the same situation. Who did you use to represent you and your case in court?
Many thanks.
