It can be frustrating to receive a parking fine. Let's find out why it happened. Here are some common reasons:
- No parking started: Did you start a parking session using the EasyPark app? This is necessary unless you have a valid permit.
- Incorrect area code: Have you confirmed that the area code used on the parking is the same as the area code provided on the sign?
- Incorrect license plate number: The fine may be because your parking was registered on a different license plate number. Did you select the correct license plate in the app?
- Reserved space: If you parked in a space reserved for permits or specific vehicles (such as disabled parking), you may receive a fine.
How do I check why I received the fine?
Let's investigate what happened:
- Check your EasyPark app: Open the app and look at your recent parking sessions.
- Was there an active parking session when you received the fine?
- Did the license plate number and area code match?
- Look at the fine itself: The reason for the fine is usually printed on the ticket. The name of the organization that issued it (such as the municipality or a parking company) will also be there.
- Still unsure? Contact the parking operator directly: You can usually find their contact information on the back or bottom of the fine.
How can I appeal the fine?
If you believe the fine was issued incorrectly, you can find instructions on how to appeal are provided directly on the fine.
