You have a charge certificate - did you get a notice to owner and what did you do?
We can't advise without seeing the documents.

This is a council PCN so I have moved this post to the Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) (https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/) forum.

Hello,
I was issued a PCN by Haringey council for contravention 73 "Parked without payment of the parking charge" in Park Road Pools and Fitness car park on 10th December 2024, because I paid a few minutes after I parked and not immediately after I parked. I challenged the PCN providing proof of payment, but I still got issued the PCN. I have not paid it and it came as £120 (increase from £40, then £80). Given I did pay the parking, what can I do not to pay this PCN? Should I wait to go to court or should I reach out to a different organism? Please advise.
The reason I did not pay immediately as explained on my challenge to Haringey Council, was that I was holding several bags and I had my daughter with me who needed to be at a show at Park Road Pools and Fitness (ballet and tap show). Given I was holding several bags and my daughter, and she was running late, I could not make a call to make the payment from the parking and did it a few minutes later from the centre. Is this considered a contravention given the parking sign says Pay on Arrival and given I actually paid?
Many thanks
