Has anyone successfully challenged a parking charge from smart parking. I recently parked somewhere with an hour restriction and had a hypo, so I overstayed by 15 mins? Any advice gratefully received.
 
There was a previous thread on this subject but am unable to find it.
The following is an abstract from a web site specific to parking fines from Smart Parking

"What do I do if I get a ticket from Smart Parking?

If you get a PCN from Smart Parking, there are two things you should do. Firstly, ask the landowner to cancel. For example, if this is in an Asda supermarket car park, then ask the store manager to cancel on the basis that you’re a genuine customer. In parallel you should consider appealing to the independent appeals service, POPLA. Before October 2012, when the Protection of Freedoms Act was introduced, the typical advice was to ignore private parking tickets. However, that is no longer recommended since certain parking companies now try to enforce tickets through the county court. Instead there are arguments to use in your independent appeal that will increase your chances of winning. "

Some good advice here

You can present the evidence to the company and see if the fine can be challenged. So DVLA rules, meter/Libre/cgm readings.
