Help - Parking Ticket in Blue Zone with a Macron

Hi,


I have just got a car and the first thing I did was get a Macron, as I've heard many horror stories about parking tickets. 


 


Annoyingly, on going to my car this evening I found not one . . . but two tickets! I am in the correct zone, and checked that the other cars had the same passes and they do. The macron is dispalyed correctly . . . I hope and cannot see why this would happen. The macron is valid to the 25th June 2014 and I paid for it on the 15th June, so I assumed all was in order.


Any advice please?


 


Thanks,


Phil

Wait for Bertrand's reply and then contest it.  Works in London, so why not here.  Just one stupid question.  Why is the picture of your pass vertical? Have you just turned the camera? Or have you displayed it vertically? In which case that might be the reason.

There are two different dates (20 and 24th June)?


Do you have French plates?  You live in France?


Your car is à Renault? As the second ticket seems To be for a French car.


You have to carefully check the car details written on the fines.  Once a friend of mine got 2 fines, one was wrong, the plate number matched her car but not the brand, in which case, I called on her behalf and they realised there was a mistake in which case, for the respective fine, you just have to send them a copy of your 'permis de circulation' and a letter confirming your telephone conversation, keep à copy.


somebody probably got two tickets and put one on your car! ;)


 


in any case, if you have à macaron and are allowed To park there, there shouldn't be à problem contesting these tickets I believe.

The macaron is valid 12 months.


Validité : Les macarons sont valables 12 mois.


http://www.ge.ch/parkings/macarons/abonnement_macarons.html


So you did park too early as your twelve months would start not when you pay for it but from 25th June 2013 to 25th June 2014. (Not sure about the first date though, but def. not on the 20th, when you got the ticket.

But second one seems not to be your problem at least.
