Parking Ticket Concern

Hello all,
I have just realised after reading in the forum that I forgot to declare a parking ticket from May 2014.
I paid the fine to the Council the same day I received the parking ticket, and admittedly simply forgot about it until today.
In the application guidelines it states that:
"Fixed penalty notices (such as speeding or parking tickets) must be disclosed, although will not normally be taken into account [...]"
What is your advice on how to proceed? Should I contact the Home Office and declare it belatedly?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
MrsT

I will ring them later this afternoon when I have my case ID at hand. I did not try to conceal it, it just slipped my mind completely. Thanks for your reply, Indianlonly!

Sorry to bother you again, maybe I am misreading this after all?
If the ticket was issued by the council, wouldn't it be a PCN rather than a FPN?
3.1 – 3.2 You must give details of all criminal convictions both within and outside the
United Kingdom. These include road traffic offences. Fixed penalty notices (such as
speeding or parking tickets) must be disclosed, although will not normally be taken
into account unless:
• you have failed to pay and there were criminal proceedings as a result; or
• you have received numerous fixed penalty notices.

I think it should be PCN and not FPN.

@newbie0203: Sorry? You agree that FPN has to be delcared. A PCN (i.e. my ticket) does not have to be declared?
@all: I do apologise, my head is mush and my nerves are a bit on edge.

IMHO you dont need to declare Penalty CHarge Notice which is surely different than Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN).

Why have you highjacked another member's thread about parking tickets with a question about bailiffs

Please open your own thread with this.

You wont have any problem. I have parked on a single yellow line and fined by the council parking attendant. I have payed the next day. These are not Fixed penality notices but PCN's:
https://hounslow.paypcn.com/default.aspx. These are parking fines which doesnt affect your application. I havent declared mine and recieved approval with no issues.
