Well, she had problems with the first machine she tried with some digits not coming up, so she moved on to another machine. This also had problems with the screen/keyboard and it took several attempts to type in the registration. She paid, put the ticket in her purse and went off to do her shopping.
You guessed it, a parking ticket was on her windscreen on her return. She checked the ticket that was in her purse and noticed one digit wrong on the registration.
So where do we stand? Technically she entered incorrect information, however she has proof that she purchased a ticket. Has anyone had successes appealing in this sort of situation, or is it like arguing with a brick wall and not worth the hassle?

Go for it , nothing to lose , keep the incorrect ticket , write out clearly what happened , how did she pay , debit card ? try and get a copy of the bank statement to prove she actually did pay , then submit all the details to the local authority , do it within 14 days of the pcn issue date or she'll miss the appeal deadline
