Title: Re: Southwark Notices of Rejection

Since the authority decided to lower the penalty back down to the discounted rate, but the payment system continued to demand the full rate, I find that the penalty charge exceeded the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case. This is a mandatory ground for allowing the appeal.

The PCN issue re service of a charge certificate 28 days from the date of the PCN was submitted, of course.

2250605285 won today, decision tomorrow when I see it.

It was decided even before I entered the meeting.

Basically, anyone who has a Southwark formal Notice of Rejection which offers the discount within 14 days, and then goes onto their website, they will be faced with paying the full amount before the 14 days have expired.

This applies to all PCNs and the three legislations.

PLEASE COME ON HERE AND TAKE SCREENSHOTS. People must not be dragooned into filing an appeal at the Tribunal in this manner. I have complained ad nauseam.

THEY SHOULD ISSUE A DISCLAIMER FORTHWITH AND IT SHOULD BE APPLIED RETROSPECTIVELY.
