I've written an apology and appeal.

For your brother to sign and submit as the addressee on the PCN?

Yes.

P.S. I have no idea why the last few lines have a strike-through

Go to the original text and look to see if you've accidentally inserted a 'strikeout' command

I did, and there's nothing there. Its clear. Just the i's for the italic.

Edit: I found it. I had written PCN[ s ]. So the [ s ] was adding the strikethrough.

It is for your brother to sign the letter, not you. If he was so busy looking for cameras, he should have also noticed the ULEZ cameras that proliferate almost every road leading into London.

I suggest you don't use the words "humble" and "humbly" in the same sentence. I doubt the drones at TfL would understand what the words mean. Tell your brother to keep the appeal short and factual.

Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.

Thanks for the response.

I've drafted the appeal based on what my brother has told me. He will send it off.

I have told him that I feel the chances of them cancelling the PCNs are pretty slim but I guess there's nothing to lose by giving it a try.

Otherwise he'll just have to chalk it up to experience.

Thanks for your input. I have edited the draft accordingly.

Dear TFL Appeals Department,

I write to you in relation to the PCN I received dated 22/08/2024.

I would like to appeal the PCN.

I agree that my vehicle was in a ULEZ and I failed to make the payment for the same.

I would like to begin by apologising for this.

Whilst I do not have any mitigating circumstances, I would like to appeal for discretion and understanding on this occasion.

I am from Manchester and I have not been to London for several years. The last time I visited London, there was no ULEZ.

I know there has been a lot of noise about the ULEZ in the media and so I am aware of the ULEZ, but on the two days that I was found to be in the ULEZ I did not see any ULEZ signs, I was also completely unaware that I had entered a ULEZ.

And as I am from Manchester - where we do not have any ULEZ or CAZ, this sort of thing is completely out of the norm for me so I did not even think to check later on.

I know this is not an acceptable excuse and it is my complete responsibility as a driver to ensure I make myself aware of all the rules wherever I go. However, it is down to genuine human error that I now find myself with not one, but 2 PCNs for the same type of contravention.

Otherwise, I am not a fare-dodger and I have absolutely no issue paying my fees and dues.

And you will also agree that I would much rather have paid the £12.50 x 2 than £90 x 2.

It was a genuine error and oversight on my part for which I appeal to you for discretion.

I would be very grateful for the opportunity to pay the actual fee of £12.50 x 2 if you could please consider this.

If you find you are unable to, then I request if you can please cancel at least one of the PCNs.

I know you do not have to accept my appeal and you are well within your rights to reject my appeal and make me pay. In that situation I will have no choice but to pay. I also know that I do not have any mitigating circumstances that would allow for the PCNs to be cancelled.

However, I appeal for discretion on this occasion and I will ensure that this mistake is never repeated. It is a lesson I am learning for life; whether I pay £12.50 x 2 or £90 x 2. I will never forget this.

I conclude by requesting you to please take some time to consider my appeal.

I am very grateful for your consideration in this matter.

Kind Regards
