We need some solid information or no meaningful advice can be given.

The video shows you entering the box behind a moving vehicle that then stops beyond the box leaving you with insufficient room to exit the box. As far as I can see the contravention is made out.

This is a well-known location for people getting PCNs and appeared fairly regularly in the now-defunct Pepipoo forum. 7 seconds is unlikely to be regarded as de minimis, certainly not by TfL, and I doubt by an adjudicator at London Tribunals.

Can you please post-up the PCN as already requested. Also it might be prudent to find out when/if they have sent a response to your representations.  Can you please post your reps as well.

There are flaws in TfL management of the enforcement process, but people more up-to-speed on this aspect should be contributing soon, but please help us to help you by posting all the documents. All you have to redact is name and address.

The extract from the TfL PCN status enquiry shows reps rejected. The amount showing is £160 which is the full PCN penalty. This will increase by 50% if you don't pay the £160 when they serve a Charge Certificate making the amount £240. You could register an appeal at London Tribunals before the CC is served. However, I don't think you have a winning case, to be honest, but see what the others say.

Thank you so much.

I uploaded the PCN letter. Apparently they sent the letter of rejection on 24 December but I did not find it in the mail. I phoned today to ask them to email it to me. They said they would post it again and e-mail it so I hope to receive more information soon.

Mail going astray, even 1st Class mail seems to be a big problem at the moment if this forum's experience is any guide. Email not so much. If they rejected your reps, I would anticipate they re-offered the discount, if you paid within 14 days of letter date. Clearly you are over that now.

If you were minded to pay, I would contact them again to see if they will accept the discounted amount, although I'm only guessing that they re-offered it. If you want to stand your ground, you can register an appeal at London Tribunals, This freezes the process until the hearing, and means the penalty will then not increase beyond the £160 which they show on their website view that you posted. Best if you don't get to the Charge Certificate stage.

If they won't reoffer the discount, then it is a complete no-brainer to take them to London Tribunals, because the penalty remains the same and there are no additional costs. Also if you win, you pay nothing, but the council will still have had to pay the adjudication fee and incur costs of preparing the evidence pack
