Council: London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham Contravention: Code 85 - Parked without a valid virtual permit Location: Sulivan Court - Off Street VRM: GL67UOH PCN Numbers: HZ79713051 (and 13 others, see below)

Story: Hi everyone,

I am seeking advice regarding 14 PCNs issued to my vehicle between 01/12/2025 and 24/12/2025.

I have held a resident permit since 2021. My permit expired, and due to missing the reminder (or not receiving one), I did not renew it immediately. During this 3-week period, my vehicle was parked in the same bay in the estate car park (Sulivan Court) and was not moved at any point. I was away for my Christmas holidays.

I submitted an informal challenge covering all PCNs arguing Continuous Contravention, citing that this was a single administrative error and the vehicle remained stationary.

I have now received a rejection letter (dated 22/01/2026) which lists all 14 PCNs and demands £1,680.00. The rejection appears to be a standard template; it states that the permit was invalid but completely fails to address the "Continuous Contravention" argument I raised.

I am planning to wait for the Notice to Owner to make a formal representation on the grounds of Procedural Impropriety (Failure to Consider) and Continuous Contravention, but I wanted to run this past the experts here first.

Google Street View Location: https://freeimage.host/i/f4U9ISe Unfortunately there isn't a proper street view in that specific street.

Any advice on my next steps or specific wording for the formal representation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Venal, rapacious, and ruthless. Your typical London council ! It's up there with the people who caused the Post Office scandal isn't it ?

Try getting it into the national press, but after an appeal at London Tribunals.
