PCN code 73: parked without payment of the parking charge
What this contravention code means, and how to appeal it · Off-Street
Code 73 means the council or TfL recorded your vehicle as parked without payment of the parking charge. If you paid but it wasn't recorded, or the car park's signage didn't make the terms clear, that's worth challenging.
Full description on the ticket: “Parked without payment of the parking charge.”
Letter after the code, like 73g?
A letter after the number narrows down the exact circumstances: g means motorcycle bay, u means electronic payment. We factor the exact suffix into your letter automatically.
Can I appeal this?
Yes. This is a statutory Penalty Charge Notice from a council or TfL, not a private charge, so you have a formal right to challenge it before it escalates into a Charge Certificate.
