Got an unfair parking ticket - what should I do?
I paid £3.00 to park when it should have been £3.20 in a car park. The parking ticket quotes a breach of contract code - parked after the expiry of the paid time and they want £100 for a parking charge, reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days. What are my rights?

Your POPLA appeal will fail on the facts because you paid £3 when you should have paid £3.20, and you will then be subject to the full charge of £100. Your only possibility of getting off is if the VAT element has not been correctly addressed, which depends on whether RPC parking is claiming damages (which are nit subject to VAT) or a parking charge (which is).
