Appealing a parking fine
A parking ticket sometimes feels unjustified, and you can ask for it to be rectified. First, it is important to identify whether it is a municipal parking fine or a private company's parking control fee, because they are handled in different ways.
You will need
- The parking fine or parking control fee
- Photos of the spot, the signs and your parking disc or receipt
- The receipt from your parking app or payment
- Online banking credentials for e-services
Steps
Identify the type of charge
A parking fine issued by the municipality or the police is a public charge. A private parking company's control fee is based on a contract, and disputes over it are handled as consumer disputes.
