Our difference

We know the scan cars — and their weak spots.

Most appeals fail because they rely on a generic story. We work differently. We know the scan cars municipalities use — their software, their hardware and the moments they get it wrong. We combine that knowledge with your specific fine to assess your odds honestly.

Forensic knowledge of the technology

We know how the scan cars read a licence plate, fix their position and record the time — and where those chains become unreliable. No guesswork, just targeted scrutiny.

The scan record requested

As your authorised representative we request the full file under article 7:4 Awb: the scan images, the measurement data and the substantiation. What the municipality cannot prove will not hold up.

We run the entire procedure

From appeal to — if needed — automatic court appeal. You write no letter, watch no deadline and fill in no form. We handle it.

Sorted in three steps

No forms, no DigiD, no legal jargon. One photo, and we do the rest.

1

Upload your fine

Take a photo of the letter. We automatically read the assessment number, licence plate, amount and municipality — you verify it.

2

We find the grounds

Our forensic engine requests the scan record and checks it for defects that support your appeal.

3

We handle the rest

Appeal drafted, digitally signed with your authorisation and sent. You track everything online.

Why a scan car fine often fails

The fine must be correct. Often it isn’t.

A scan car makes a decision in a fraction of a second. We know those scan cars inside and out — their software and hardware — and know where things go wrong. Together with your fine, we assess point by point whether the decision holds up legally.

Location too uncertain

The positioning system did not know precisely enough where your car was at the time of the scan.

Time cannot be proven

The system clock was not calibrated — the exact moment of the offence is therefore not established.

Licence plate read uncertainly

The camera recognised your licence plate with too little certainty to serve as evidence.

Payment window still open

At the time of the scan you still had time to pay via the app or machine.

Images disappeared

The municipality did not retain the evidence images long enough, making verification impossible.

Loading or alighting

Directly loading, unloading or getting in/out does not count as parking.

Why MijnBezwaar

Free, thorough, and you get € 35.

Other routes make you choose between figuring it out yourself or a thin “free” appeal. We combine forensic depth with a procedure we take entirely off your hands — and share the awarded costs with you.

No cost, no risk

You never pay anything. If your appeal is rejected, it costs you nothing. If it is approved due to a municipality error, your fine is cancelled and you get € 35.

Forensic depth

We assess your fine against what we know about the scan cars — not with a template letter. That raises the chance an unjust fine is overturned.

We handle everything — incl. appeal

We file the appeal as your authorised representative, watch the deadlines and — if needed — lodge a court appeal automatically. You track everything online.

Frequently asked questions

Does it really cost nothing?

Yes, really. You never pay anything — not upfront, not afterwards. If your appeal is rejected, it costs you nothing. If it is approved due to a municipality error, your fine is cancelled; the municipality then pays an award of costs, and you get € 35 of it.

How does the authorisation work?

You digitally sign an authorisation giving us permission to appeal on your behalf. With it, we act as your authorised representative towards the municipality. No DigiD required; you sign online in two minutes.

What if I am rejected?

It still costs you nothing. Where it stands a chance, we automatically lodge a court appeal — we handle that too, at no extra cost to you.

How quickly do I need to act?

You have six weeks from the date of the surcharge assessment to appeal. The sooner you upload your fine, the more time we have to request the scan record and build your case properly.

Which fines can you handle?

Parking surcharge assessments issued by a scan car. That is our specialisation: we know the scan cars and their weak spots.

What exactly is the € 35?

On a successful appeal due to a municipality error, your fine is cancelled and the municipality pays an award of costs. A part of it — € 35 — goes to you. No hidden conditions.

Do I need DigiD?

No. We file the appeal using the authorisation you sign digitally. You need no DigiD and track everything online.

How long does the procedure take?

Drafting and filing happen immediately. A municipality must in principle decide on an appeal within a few weeks to months; you hear from us as soon as there is news. Meanwhile, you do nothing.

What do you do with my data?

We use your data solely to handle your appeal, fully GDPR-compliant. We sell nothing on. See our privacy statement for the details.

You have nothing to lose.

No costs, no risk. If your appeal is rejected, you pay nothing. If it is approved due to a municipality error, your fine is cancelled and you get € 35.
