PCN code 83: parked in a car park without clearly displaying a valid pay & display ticket
What this contravention code means, and how to appeal it · Off-Street
Code 83 means the council or TfL recorded your vehicle as parked in a car park without clearly displaying a valid pay & display ticket or voucher or parking clock. 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 in a car park without clearly displaying a valid pay & display ticket or voucher or parking clock.”
Letter after the code, like 834?
A letter after the number narrows down the exact circumstances: 4 means virtual permit. 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.
