Good evening all

I do the odd shift delivering parcels for Amazon through their app called Amazon flex. All delivery/job lists are on the app, once delivered it is removed from the app. I do deliveries in my own car.

I had deliveries to the post office on Orpheus street, SE5. There is nowhere nearby to leave the car other than loading bay which has a 1 hour loading time. I did lock the car as I had small parcels that could easily been stolen by passersby. I delivered parcels to post office and came back to a PCN. I was only gone for roughly 5 mins.

I appealed the PCN, I had explained I did not have a job sheet etc but I attached a screenshot of my shift which showed the hours of my shift which aligns with when the contravention happened. Unfortunately got rejected.

Worth fighting further? Do I have a chance?

Thanks in advance

You were engaged in commercial delivery work so were engaged in loading, but all the CEO saw was a locked private car. The bay is not restricted to goods vehicles, so your parking there was legitimate. They have rejected because they always do, knowing that >95% of people then just cough-up; is this you ?

Problem is that to take the matter further you must forego the discount option, and wait for the Notice to Owner and submit your reps again, but with our help with the final text. NtOs are sent by post to the name and address on the V5C Registration Certificate.Are you the owner and if so, are the V5C details correct and up-to-date ?

Yes I the registered owner/keeper. Yes I believe v5c is correct as nothing has changed.

So what’s happens now. Ignore for 28 days until NtO comes. Do I fill that in or can I get adjudicator to dismiss this PCN?

You must first get an NtO, submit reps against that, and only then can you register an appeal at London Tribunals.

Their letter is mostly complete tosh, as they always are. Loading can be commercial or private. How do you prove loading if you're taking domestic chattels to a new flat ? You wouldn't have any delivery note then, would you ?

However, if you can firm up your collateral to show what you were doing it might get the NtO cancelled straightaway; their letter virtually says they cancel when they see the relevant documents.  See what Google can provide you with; they must surely have some sort of record of your work.
