Parked without payment of parking charge

Hi folks ..This PCN is servedto my friend by the Council person for parking car without paying the charge .He owns the shop and was inside the shop as car was parked outside his shop  he saw the officer but it was to late he has taken the pictures and issued him PCN and said you can ask council to cancel this charge .He talked to Council they said he need to submit some application to City Council Hall and then they will decide if they can cancel .Please guide me if we can challenge this PCN.Here is the link to PCN ..Thank you

There is 5 minutes observation on the PCN. What grounds does he - or is it you - have for not paying to park?

Initial challenge is to Havering.

Is there any chance if we can say that it was parked infront of his shop opposite side of street ?

What difference will that make? Was the car parked while loading or unloading goods from the shop? what yellow lines or restrictions are there on that bit of road?

Yes there were restriction as there were marked bays in which you can park after paying ..But he just parked in that marked bays without paying .

Post the PCN number and VRM so we can check evidence but it sounds like paying the discount is best as Havering doesn't offer the discount after rejection of even an informal challenge.

Pcn number : HG50304772
VRM : SH67 JXP

You need to post the actual PCN document.

From what you have told us, your friend just chanced his arm, and lost. I cannot see any viable appeal argument, although others may do so. Always best to do what it says on the sign regulating the parking bay.

It's in post 1.

There are no council pics yet online.

What is the exact Google Maps location.

Hi folks .i have uploaded more pictures in the folder.Please have a look and give me advice what to do further .Thank you

It's a Pay-by-Phone bay with a phone number, or there is a Ringo label to pay using their app. The traffic order may allow loading in these bays.

So is there any grounds for challenge or should we pay the charge because tomorrow is last day to pay 50% of fine.

Well, sorry to say it, but I see no robust appeal argument.
