Discounted car parking fines

[chanctonbury]

My daughter received 3 parking fines for the same offence. She decided to appeal against all three. Unfortunately she sent just one letter and did not quote the parking ticket numbers. The appeal was eventually lodged against only the first one. The second two went to representation and she appealed against the second two at this stage. She was unsuccessful in her appeals so has accepted that she has to pay the fines. The first one she was able to pay at the discounted rate, but since the second two went to representation she has to pay the full amount. So instead of paying 3 x �60 she is paying (1 x 60 + 2 x 120) = �300 (for one offence!) Is it worthwhile appealing against not being able to pay the discounted rate on offences 2 and 3?

I will assume that the parking fines were issued by a council ie a penalty charge notice (PCN).

From what you have said I again assume that the for the first fine, she made an informal appeal to the council, which was rejected (no surpise). This though would still allow her to pay at the discounted rate.

The other 2 must have gone all to the way to the independent (?) parking adjudicator and been rejected at that stage. The undiscounted rate is payable at this point. There is no further appeals procedure after this (unless you can convince a judge to accept a judicial review - very expensive)
