Mutiple pcns - Nottingham City Council
« on: »
Hi


I've only just joined this site after being recommended from the Martin Lewis site. 

In August 2023 I lost my mum who I lived with the majority of my life.  We moved into the flat NG1 4ES in 1982 - owned by a private housing association - Places 4 People as they are now called now.  Obviously I took over the tenancy from my mum.

June 2024 I was diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer, I had 5 hairline fractures in my back caused by the Myeloma cells attacking the calcium in my back.  By July that had risen to 7, obviously I had to come off work and was helped to get pip and ESA.  I was having to attend the hospital weekly and am still under them.  Towards the end of the year the treatment stepped up a notch took had to have a Hickman line inserted for a Stem Cell Transplant.  After that I had to go through the Stem Cell Collection 4 days 9 to 5 attached to a machine that collected my Stem Cells.  December 3rd I had a Stem Cell Transplant meeting where I was told 3 percent chance of death, he was worried about my hernia, if I caught a infection I could end up on critical care.  14 December I started getting ticketed by Nottingham City Council one after another.  I tried to get a permit but it took the council a whole month to reject my application due to a out of date council tax letter.  I think this happened on a couple of occasions.  Eventually I went to CAB to get help with this, they did write a letter of complaint to the Council as they felt this resolved a lot quicker. 

So far I have had 6 pcns ruled in my favour by the traffic enforcement centre, but this hasn't stopped the council issuing me with 6 new pcns for £70 each.  I have to post a further 2 witness statements to the traffic enforcement centre and I might have another 4 arriving in the post at some point.

The council are making my life a absolute misery, I can't live a life no more for this constant bullying, harassment from the council.  Thinking about this treatment or the typing out of documents or photo copying my medical documents.  I now want to leave my birth city, i need help as this just isn't going away.  Ive tried everything why should I have to pay the council for living on a private housing association?

I typed this via laptop I can take pics of court letters and upload if necessary same with medical documents.  Does not the Council realise if I not received treatment from the hospital I would be dead now, that's how serious Myeloma Cancer is, there's no current cure but it is treatable.

Very, very, sorry indeed to read about your problems with cancer, as my wife has also suffered with a different form of cancer, and it really is a life-changing event in every way. I do hope you recover. However, this doesn't help us help you because you have posted no documents at all, so can you please post at least one of the PCNs and its associated enforcement documents. Only redact name and address.

However, reading between the lines, this looks like a case of you leaving your car parked somewhere and being unable to move it or do anything about getting a permit for it due to your ill health; is this correct ?

Yes obviously my health did play a big part in my situation.  You prioritise your health being number 1.  Sorry about your wife i hope she gets the support and treatment she needs.  It's a long process, I will try and get some evidence up, I only joined the forum yesterday.

If the PCNs are all for a single location and contravention, just post up one of the PCNs with its associated correspondence. You can list the others if you want, by PCN Number and date. We may want to see some of them later. Remember, only blank out name and address. Nottingham City Council are renowned as one of the most venal and rapacious councils in England outside London.

You have totally misunderstood the process of submitting Witness Statements to TEC. If these are accepted, they do not cancel the PCN, all that is cancelled is the Charge Certificate and the Order for Recovery.  You still have to either pay the NtOs they have issued, or submit representations.

So far, we know absolutely NOTHING about why these PCNs might have been served originally, so we need to see an original PCN, or at least one of the NtOs. You have yet to show us either of these; all your latest post consist of is letters from TEC and letters from Nottingham saying they are obliged to serve the NtOs. So let's see one, please.

You have also not really given us a full story on why these PCNs were served, hence we need to see the PCNs or the NtOs. 

Sorry, but we're trying to help, but are still mostly in the dark, I'm afraid

These are the PCN locations, dates etc.

OP, you were parked on-street without displaying a valid permit.

Why would you park on-street in such circumstances?

You refer to applying for a permit, but before or after the first PCN? You mention an out-of-date council tax letter which to me implies that maybe the council tax was still in your late mother's name.

Is your flat in a 'permit-free' development or are you entitled to apply for a permit as of right?

I've supplied what I have.  I live with a private housing association.  Places for People obviously that would make that private land and a private car park.  But its also a controlled area and is patrolled by the council.  I am diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer also.  So I was dealing with that when I started to get ticketed.  I cant even remember getting a letter about a permit renewal and like I said the council rejected my applications as council tax was out of date.  I mentioned I lost my mum and I was working with Myeloma cancel just to keep the flat going as mums money was in probate.  The day that cleared I was diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer, came off all work.  I was living off sick pay to I managed to get pip and later ESA.  It wasnt easy at all.  You don't tend to think about parking permits when you get diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer.

So if I had a heart attack and was in intensive care, would I be expected to move my car ?

I have uploaded all documents at my disposal.  I also stated that I was ticketed by the council for not having a permit on a residential housing association car park by a council who doesn't own the land.  I will obviously have to look elsewhere if your are unable to help.

Obviously not, but a passing CEO who knows nothing about your illness sees a car in contravention, and will slap a PCN on the car. The process assumes everybody is in good health and able to response to all enforcement documents. Clearly your health has prevented you from replying as expected.

If it were me, I'd get in touch with my local councillor and give him the facts. He will probably get the hounds off you, but you do have to get that permit to stop getting more and more PCNs. Maybe contacting your councillor will speed things up.

I wish you all the best with your recovery, and with this case.

I originally tried everything my housing they didn't want to know.  CAB, mp, im sitting on 4 new pcns after the court ruled in my favour.  You get 28 days to reply dont you ? So im going to max this out, im in no rush.  Soon as you reply you just get rejection letters.  So I might as well put some space between me and the council.  Nottingham City Council was one of the first councils to declare themselves bankrupt after they invested all the money into a energy company that folded.  Thanks

Get hold of that councillor, and while you're at it, send a letter of complaint to the council leader and the CEO

OP, this is about the law and procedure. You posted:

So far I have had 6 pcns ruled in my favour by the traffic enforcement centre, but this hasn't stopped the council issuing me with 6 new pcns for £70 each.  I have to post a further 2 witness statements to the traffic enforcement centre and I might have another 4 arriving in the post at some point.

No, TEC doesn't 'rule in your favour'. If you submit a witness statement in time, in your case that you did not receive a NTO, then they will simply and procedurally revoke the OfR and cancel the CC.

That you appear to have received the Orders for Recovery in respect of NTOs which without exception you have not received might seem strange. In any event, the authority are now sending new NTOs.

You now have (at least some of) these NTOs therefore you need to deal with them. IMO, extra-procedural complaints is not the route to take. You must deal with the NTOs.

I am not unsympathetic to your situation - which is still unclear - but you must, with our help, deal with the matters procedurally.
