I was just going to PM you to make representations but saw this this morning which is wholly wrong:
The outstanding balance is £130.00
You can view details to pay for your PCN.
The period when you could contest this PCN has expired.
Penalty Charge Notice: AF99049380

Contravention date: Tuesday, 27 Aug 2024 17:40
Contravention: Entering and stopping in a box junction when prohibited
Street: HIGH ROAD; GOODMAYES

The outstanding balance is £130.00
Pay your Penalty Charge Notice now.
I will advise in detail what to write to them and suggest you authorise me now. They did this in Case No. 2240175190 and they are wrong to do it again.
Or send this immediately to: parkingandtrafficenforcement@redbridge.gov.uk
Dear Sirs
Ref: PCN: AF99049380 VRM: YT66HJA
I refer to the said PCN dated 2nd September. Upon attempting to make representations today, I was presented with information that the period in which to contest the PCN has expired and that the status is Representation is Rejected.
This is wholly unacceptable as the date of the PCN is 2nd September. You did exactly the same in Case No 2240175190 (which you lost) and I know this to be true as I am currently being advised by the same representative. Therefore, as I am well within the 28 days in which to make a representation according to the law, I require you to rescind the current status forthwith and consider the following representations:
1. The contravention did not occur as the box junction is worn and the time stopped was de minimis.
2. Your website challenge page expressly limits to one ground of representation which flies in the face of the information given on the PCN and the law.
Therefore, in light of the above, please cancel the PCN.
P.S.: Please also register this as a formal complaint since your council is rather prone to making these unlawful demands for money.

PM sent.
