Complaint now with ICO. They are STILL issuing premature charge certificates even before the expiry of the NOR period.

Endemic problem which they fail to understand so this explains no FOIR response as they simply do not undretsand a premature charge ceriticate.

Dear Havering
Please consider the second link pertaining to Case No.: 2250453824.
According to the Respondent’s case summary :
‘The Notice of Rejection clearly states: “Remember you only have 28 days
from the service of this letter to do this and prevent a Charge Certificate
from being served.”
Therefore, the 28-day period expired on 4th September 2025, and the Charge Certificate was issued on 5th September 2025, which is compliant with the statutory process. The appellant’s calculation based on deemed service does not apply because the authority considers the date of posting as the date of service, consistent with the wording of the Notice.’
My proposed answer to this global madness:

Case Details
Case reference 2250669743
Appellant
Authority London Borough of Havering
VRM BJ67GWN
PCN Details
PCN HG62152398
Contravention date 02 Jul 2025
Contravention time 08:21:00
Contravention location Ford Lane / South End Road
Penalty amount GBP 160.00
Contravention Fail comply restriction vehicles entering ped zone
Referral date -
Decision Date 17 Jun 2026
Adjudicator Mackenzie Robinson
Appeal decision Appeal allowed
Direction
cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.
Reasons
Mr has produced a copy of a charge certificate he was served on 30 December 2026.
The tribunal accepted his application to appeal on 15 December 2025. The authority would have been duly notified, and should not have issued a charge certificate.
Paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 to the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 specifies the circumstances in which a charge certificate may be issued. In these particular circumstances, a charge certificate could only have been lawfully issued if no application to appeal against the notice of rejection was made within the 28 day time period.
I therefore find that there has been a failure to follow the procedural requirements of the 2002 Act in relation to the issuing of the charge certificate.

Phillip Morgan v London Borough of Havering (2250673285, 23 July 2026) (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bB_hlGKDk9JlNIGrVyQLR7kY-n4Bm8lo/view)
Costa del sol. I speak cryptically, of course. If they can find a few grand for a barrister, they can give me a tenth. All Havering residents should be asking serious questions.
@cp8759 beat the same barrister a few years back re the famous Ealing Bus Lane case re camera certification.
https://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/sites/default/files/keycases/DUTHIEUW%20v%20LB%20Ealing.pdf
We can confirm that the Counsel’s fee is £4,104.17 + VAT to be paid from our Parking Budget.
@cp8759 cost me just a pint of Guinness. What a pleasant day. ;D

This is the end of the beginning.
Believe it or not, I have just filed yet another appeal and they have already increased the charge to £240 before the lawful period expires. They genuinely believe that the date of service of the NOR is the date of the notice.
Press will be on it very very soon as they say in Bridgend!
This must go to JR as they are ripping people off right left and centre. >:(

This even before you make formal representations re the 2003 Act:
Please note submission of this form will remove your opportunity to settle at the discounted charge should your challenge be unsuccessful.
Illegality possibly and procedural unfairness definitely and fettering. Anyone reading that would most probably throw in the towel. UNLESS THEY COME TO US!
F - There has been a procedural impropriety by the Enforcement Authority
G - The traffic order contravened is invalid
H - The Notice should not have been served because the Penalty Charge had already been paid
I understand that a false declaration on this form may result in prosecution or a fine, upon conviction, of up to £5,000.
In the immortal words of one tennis champion: You cannot be serious
F G H ARE FALSE!

Is this a legal error or a copying typo?
