Paymyticket – Pay or Appeal?

Paying or appealing your ticket is down to you. With Parking Charge Notices, it’s very easy to assume that they have the power to take the money from you, however, this isn’t the case.

If your appeal is rejected, then the advice from the appeal services like POPLA is to pay the fine, however, whether you deem it to be correct is down to you, and you can do more to avoid paying.

Regardless of what you choose, it’s important to take your time, and weigh up your options beforehand so that you’re not giving money towards something unjust or unfair.

Appealing a Parking Charge Notice with Paymyticket

As I’ve mentioned, Parking Charge Notices aren’t seen as civil debts, and therefore whoever issued you with one, doesn’t technically have the legal requirements to take the money from you.

Because of this, it can be easy to fall into the trap of paying for it when you don’t necessarily have to. Some private parking enforcers may scare you into thinking you have to pay, but it’s important to remember they have no real jurisdiction.

With that said, if you’re caught blocking the entrance to a hospital, you should probably pay and not just avoid it. The reason being is whilst they might not be able to guarantee payment from you, they can still take you to court to enforce payment, which could cost you more because of things like court expenses.

If you receive a PCN, asking you to pay on paymyticket.com, just like a Penalty Charge Notice, you’ll not want to pay immediately as this is seen as an admission of guilt. 

Instead, here’s what you should do:

1. If you do feel like appealing a Parking Charge Notice, then you’ll first want to check if the individual/company that has issued it, is legitimate and is a member of the trade body. As Paymyticket is under the management of UK Car Park Management, it is part of a trade body. (The International Parking Community – IPC).

2. After you’ve checked this, you’ll be given a chance to appeal on their website by filling out a couple of details. 

You can appeal this on the website above, and it will take you to a page like this.

3. This appeal will then be sent to the Parking on Private Land Appeals (POPLA) service, who will then judge whether the appeal is worthy of having the fine cancelled.

4. If this appeal is rejected, you’ll then have the choice between paying the fine, taking the individual/company on, or ignoring it and not paying (they can still get payment through court).
