Author Topic: Enfield - 40 - Parked in disabled bay w/o badge - Chase Road, N14 - bay painted around my parked car!  (Read 1167 times)

Would this do?

The alleged contravention did not occur as the Traffic Order for Disabled Bay number 628, TMO1558, does not come into force until 22/04/24.

I have attached the TMO, issued March 2024 and also (again) the FOI reply from the council saying the TMO is not yet in place - this has been sent to you several times and ignored.

The parking bay was not there when I parked, it was painted around my car.

Griping won't help, you want them to cancel not annoy them.

I help you pro bono (for free). I now ask that a £40 donation is made to the North London Hospice before I take over your case. I have an 85% success rate across 2,000 PCNs but some PCNs can't be beaten and I will tell you if your case looks hopeless before asking you to donate.

A small part of me does want to annoy them!

Many thanks for the advice, I'll update when I hear back from them.

UPDATE: They finally cancelled the PCN, of course there was no hint of an apology for wasting my time. I guess NSL are in the business of blanket ticket issuing in the hope that people do not fight back when the ticket was wrongly issued.

Many thanks to all that chipped in!

And guess what, most people do just cough-up ! That's how councils make shedloads of money from PCNs. It is called "gaming the system".

You could make a formal complaint and demand an apology: https://www.enfield.gov.uk/contact-us/are-you-unhappy-with-something/make-a-formal-complaint

You must make it clear that the PCN has already been cancelled and you're complaining about the fact that the PCN should not have been issued in the first place, otherwise you risk getting a stock response saying the complaints procedure does not apply and you should appeal the PCN.
