So was you not parked in Croydon when a traffic warden randomly wrote down your exact vehicle details, registration number, time of day, location, etc? Or am I confusing the issue with facts?

I'm all for technicalities though, after all, it's their rules.......good luck with it.

No ticket was on van....and address ticket was alledged given is one of my suppliers and van would have been loading/unloading....due to the packages...no more than 5 minutes....so i think warden has seen van , printed out ticket , driver has come out and driven off before he can take the legally required pictures of offence , and was of course unable to attach ticket to van....a bit over eager i think...and i get lumbered with £130 ticket i never knew i had....

As he said, no ticket on the car so why would you remember every place you ever are at all times? Let's face it, you wouldn't remember a trip to Croydon if it wasn't commemorated with a ticket...

I think asking for proof that you did what you were being accused of is necessary. There may be a digit wrong and it's nothing to do with him!

It's the way forward, if you get a dink in your door from the car next to you, best have a dust up with a bloke in a wheel chair......much more chance of winning that one! hehe

Granted. Having read the fuller explanation, definitely worth contesting. I spent a whole week in Croydon one day. It was when a terrorist bomb went off and done over a million pounds worth of improvements!

No photo evidence!! Don't pay it!! They have to have solid proof...
I got a ticket in Wokingham town centre whilst out for dinner... It was issued by a SPC special constable.... I never paid the ticket and its never been chased!!

The worst place in the world for parking wardens is Ealing in West London....
