Great, that's what I thought. :)

Ok, that's done! *Fingers crossed* Thanks again for your help, I'll update with how it goes.

Mitigating circumstances. You are trying to rescue this as you're past deadline. The status says nothing has happened other than issuing the PCN.

Will do, thanks! Do I select the contravention didn't occur or mitigating circumstances?

Go online now and make an immediate challenge:

Dear TFL, 

I am a disabled driver with a blue badge and I genuinely thought I could park because of the ‘max 3 hours’ disabled sign and hadn't realised the other time restriction (between 10am-4pm) also applied to blue badge holders. I was only there for around 10-15 minutes while I collected an item from an address opposite and returned a book to the library. Both my clock and badge were clearly displayed.

I hope you will cancel the PCN please.

Hello,

Is anyone able to advise me on this PCN, please? It's been over 28 days since the date on the letter (4th November) and I'm worried they will soon issue a charge certificate increasing the fine to £240. :-\

I can't really afford that amount, so if you don't think I have any grounds of appeal then I'd rather just quickly pay the £160 before that happens.

Please let me know what you think,

Thanks so much for your time and support.

Hey everyone, it's me again.. They say things happen in threes, so I really hope this is the last of them now!   :-\

This contravention is for stopping on a red route on Upper Clapton Road. I genuinely thought I could park because of the ‘max 3 hours’ disabled sign and hadn't realised the other time restriction (between 10am-4pm) also applied to blue badge holders. I was only there for around 10-15 minutes while I collected an item from an address opposite and returned a book to the library. Both my clock and badge were clearly displayed.

I would really appreciate your help to see if I could appeal this.
