I have been looking at Havering Councils almost definite informal appeal rejection and increase from 80 to £160 and believe there may be a problem with it. If you log onto the Parking [view evidence of your penalty charge notice with a webcode]
https://www.havering.gov.uk/parking-2/parking-tickets-traffic-fines/3 It states:
View evidence of your Penalty Charge Notice with a web code
You are entitled to view video (if available) or a photo showing when your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) was issued.
You will need the notice number, your vehicle registration and the web code from the PCN that was sent to your home address to continue.
You will also be able to see your how much the charge is.
How the web codes work
Please note this service is for PCNs sent by post as you can only view evidence by using the web code provided on the PCN sent to your address.
Tickets left on your vehicle don't have a code.
Web codes are for the formal representation stage of the process and are in the letter we send if the PCN is issued in that way (eg for a bus lane fine) or you have moved from an informal challenge (PCN on your car window) to formal challenge as part of the appeals process. When I was issued a PCN I immediately logged on to the website and as may be remembered there were no images to be seen. I emailed the department requesting them and they sent them after issue of the NTO apologising for sending them late !! [The NTO has a blank image of the alleged contravention.]
As can be seen from the web page if you are sent a PCN through the post you can view the video/images immediately and take advantage then of paying at the lower £80 rate. However as you are not given the evidence held by Havering Council on a vehicle attached PCN you are held in a state of unfairness [possible procedural impropriety] and the council are raking it in.
Thoughts ?
