We've all been in the position of leaving our car parked outside a store while we went inside to acquire groceries, only to come back to find a parking ticket stuck to the windscreen. There are options to appeal private ticket enforcement of parking, though, if the ticket was issued unfairly. You can dispute it by arguing that the parking regulations weren't clear, the ticket you paid for wasn't legible, or an overzealous enforcement officer issued the penalty. Finding out if the ticket is real and who issued it is the first step. It was carried out by a privately held corporation if it was given on private property, including supermarkets, hospitals, or private streets.
