Got a £!*%$@* parking ticket?
Been towed or clamped?
Or fallen foul of the London congestion charge?
AppealNow.com may be able to help.
Nobody likes to get a parking ticket. The feeling of dread, regret and anger when we see a penalty charge notice stuck on our windscreen is familiar to far too many of us. And more and more people get parking tickets each year.
The really unlucky ones find their cars clamped or towed away with nothing but the promise of a big bill to look forward to.
Many motorists don't bother to appeal their fixed penalty charge parking tickets, clamping or towing fees because they feel that to do so is:
- Time consuming
- Complicated
- Expensive
- Bureaucratic
and that they risk higher penalties if their appeal fails.

Why is it such a problem?
Local authorities are increasingly using the fixed penalty and parking ticket 'system' to raise money. Gone are the days when parking tickets were used to keep the traffic flowing - they are now a major money-spinner. And with that commercialism comes the increasing likelihood that a parking ticket is issued unfairly, incorrectly or illegally.
Barrie Segal, AppealNow.com's founder and an acknowledged authority on parking tickets in the UK, estimates that as many as "5 million parking tickets per annum could be illegal and unenforceable."
More people than ever before are lodging appeals (appeals are 30% up year-on-year in London alone) and 63% of all appeals are upheld by the parking adjudicator!
he chances are that your parking ticket can be appealed.
That's why AppealNow.com was set up!
Why are so many parking tickets issued in error?
As local authorities have moved away from using parking tickets as a traffic flow measure and towards a revenue generation model, their staff have been under increasing pressure to 'perform'. It is no secret that parking wardens are poorly paid and work to strict quotas.
"Parking enforcement under local authority control is now used as a vehicle to generate ever increasing income levels. It has long since ceased to be a parking control designed to promote the free flow of traffic, enhance the safety of other road users and pedestrians and is now an easy way for members in some authorities to increase cash flow."
Paul Sale, Former Parking Control Manager at the London Borough of Barnet - quote taken from Hansard."There are currently seven DPE Councils outside London that clamp or remove vehicles. They are: Birmingham, Blackpool, Brighton, Bristol, Manchester, Nottingham and Oxfordshire. ... The fact that these Councils between them elected not to contest 28% of the appeals brought in cases involving the clamping or removal of vehicles, gives cause for concern." Chief Parking Adjudicator on Clamping and Towing away.
