Why bother? Just ignore it.

They are total cunts. I parked 'normally' close to a car in a car park in Plymouth that had grass parking bays with small brick markings and when I returned the parking bellend was putting a ticket on me because I was straddling two bays. When we arrived there were around 10 cars and one of them must have been parked off slightly and when I returned my car was the only one left!
My dashcam showed how everyone was parked when I turned up and the ticket said I had every right to appeal..... The way they get you is if you pay now it is £25 but if you appeal and they rule against you the minimum is £60, so most people just pay the £25. It is set low enough to make you think 'fuck it' I'll just pay it, but you really want to appeal.

Private parking companies.
Received a £100 fine for parking in a carpark where I had written permission from the landowner to do so. Appealed the decision providing a copy of the written permission. Appeal rejected "but we'll accept £20 if you pay now".
Fuck those guys. If you are so certain I was parked illegally, why are they happy to reduce the fine from £100 to £20 just because I appealed it? Off to the ombudsman we go.
