Upload a photo or PDF of a UK parking ticket, council PCN, private parking charge, bus lane, ULEZ or Clean Air Zone notice. AppealGo reads it, identifies the issuer and contravention, finds the grounds to challenge it and drafts the appeal. Checking is free (fair-use cap per key per day); filing costs £7.99 or is covered by a plan, up to its appeal allowance. Provide image_url OR image_base64. Takes 20–90 seconds. Never invent notice details: report exactly what this tool returns.

Files the drafted appeal for a notice in the account holder's own name. This sends a real appeal to a real council or parking operator and cannot be undone, so confirm with the user first. If the notice is unpaid and not covered by a plan, returns a Stripe checkout_url (£7.99 standard); once paid, AppealGo files it automatically. Name and postal address are required (saved on the profile, or pass them here). Always show the user the checkout_url rather than claiming the appeal was filed.
