Core details to collect

Keep the notice number, vehicle registration, location, incident date, issuer name and any deadline shown on the notice. Those details should appear clearly in the first part of the letter.

Evidence for payment problems

Useful evidence can include app screenshots, bank records, payment receipts, machine error photos, text confirmations and timestamps showing when payment was attempted.

Evidence for unclear signs

Take photos from the entrance, the bay, the route into the car park and the driver eye level. Include close-ups only after you have shown where the signs were placed.

Evidence for permits, loading or grace period

Use permit photos, delivery notes, appointment records, timestamps, site instructions and any messages that show why the vehicle was there.
