We are on holiday and stopped off at a beach to walk the dog etc.
I did not have enough change, but I did have a decent phone signal so I used a parking App that I must have registered before, but I don’t remember. I paid for 4-5 hours at about £5.00
When we got back to the car we had a parking ticket attached to the windscreen. I checked the App and I had inadvertently used the wrong car registration number 🙁
If I pay within 14 days it is ‘only’ £25. If I contest it says it will be £50.00+
The holiday has not gone smoothly so far so part of me wants to pay and move on to try and prevent any more angst, but another part of me thinks that I should pay the fine or the parking cost, but not both. However, contesting the fine would potentially see me being clocked for another £25.00
What would the hive mind do?
