Kate,
There is a web site which gives information on how to challenge parking fines. Just type in Parking Fines in your web browser.
Was your car parked on council owned land and operated by the council? If not it is a civil matter and the fine cannot be enforced.
Ask for a copy of the printed regulations covering the parking at the car park. Find the section dealing with the display of the ticket. Does it clearly say the ticket must be shown on the windscreen. The exact wording is important.
Could you see the ticket on the floor when you returned to your car before you opened the door?
Good luck with your appeal
