Hi, yesterday i received a pcn from Havering council for turning right at a "no right turn" sign coming out of a b&q in Romford.
I was searching for some info and came across this site where i read about some recent cases where people were caught at the same place. These persons appealed against the pcn for a couple of reasons.. Apparently the pcn is supposed to say that if you pay no later than 14 days from the date of the notice then the charge will be reduced by 50% but.. on the pcn it says 21 days instead of 14. I read of a couple cases where the person won the appeal because of this. I wanted to find out if i appeal will i have to go to court or how does it work? Also i actually turned right at this place more than once but so far i have only received 1 pcnx am i likely to receive more? Any help much appreciated. Thank you |

dear Mr Parking Representations against PCN number XXXXXXX vehicle registration mark AB 12 CDE Your name and address I make these representations under the statutory ground That the penalty charge exceeded the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case. The London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 at 4(8)(a)(iii) states. 2That the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice" The PCN fails here. It states " 28 days beginning with the date on which this PCN is served. This is in the normal course of post, two working days later. this would create an obvious prejudice, and fail to comply with the regulations. The PCN fails similarly at 4(8)(a)(iv) using the same date of service rather than date of notice. It further fails in stating the discount is available for 21 days rather than the mandated 14 days. The PCN fails to comply with the regulations, it is thus not a valid document and no penalty may be demanded on the back of it. Therefore the penalty demanded exceeds the relevant amount in the circumstances of the case, as the only amount that can be due on the strength of this PCN is NIL I look forward to confirmation of cancellation at your soonest convenience Regards Wow so there are a couple of other points to mention as well.. is this like a tried and tested version? Or you came up with it? Can i be sure this is proper way to present? Thank you! everything in there is correct. Will the council cancel? Not likely. What is more likely is they will make even more mistakes in the Notice of rejection. Will it win at appeal? It has a very good chance, but we cannot guarantee anything So first i write this to the council that issued the pcn.. then what happens from there? If they cancel then great end of.. but if not.. maybe ill have to pay the full fine of 130? If so id rather pay it now |

If you do have to pay the full amount after an appeal, it would not be for between 4 and six months, so you could save a fiver a week and save the difference. Or you can pay £65 now. Then what if more PCN's fall through the letter box. As per your opening post you have made that turn a number of times. Your choice -------------------- All advice is given freely.

And yes im wondering why i havent already received other pcns because i did the same thing before the date of this pcn i posted here.. Thank you for your help really appreciate it |

So first i write council and see what they say and if they dont cancel the pcn then adjudication ? And does one have to pay for this adjudication?
Also my friend also did the same thing at the same place all the times that i did it, but she has not received any pcn |

It's all written on the PCN and you can read hundreds of progressed or completed cases on this forum. -------------------- |

You cannot go to adjudication until you hear back from the council, but you can get an idea of the process here: http://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/eat/appe...ocess-explained -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

So i have tried to appeal online but it doeant allow me to do it. It says that i have already been issued a notice to owner or something like that and i need the web code to continue but i have not received any such thing. I have made 2 enquiries to havering council where i left my number and asked them to get in touch and no one has contacted me. At the moment it seems i have no choice than to pay the fine even though i want to appeal??

So you must have a copy. If you simply copied and pasted a draft from PMB, fine, make sure you have a copy in your records. With any legal dispute, if it isn't written down, it didn't happen. |
