Is there another way I can post the full Rejection notice?
Do a fresh upload of the NoR's missing pages to one of yr external sites and post the BBCode(s) here.

Thanks for pointing that out — it seems the website cut off the full Notice of Rejection. Is there another way I can post the full Rejection notice?
The only thing I noticed was that my name was misspelt on the Notice of Rejection, but I don’t think that’s a big deal.
I paid the PCN on the towerhamlets.gov website, and at that time, the amount shown was £80.

I've now merged the topic. For convenience, here is the NoR and the C.C.
You have only posted part of the NoR: did T.Hamlets re-offer the discount or left it at "the penalty charge"? It looks as if you only paid the discounted amount.

The Charge Certificate is for £160.
I made the payment on 19th August and paid £80.
For some reason, I’m not able to upload files directly to the site, and it looks like Imgur is no longer supported in the UK — so I’ve shared the documents via the links below:

Thanks!

How much is the Charge Certificate for?
When did you make the payment?
And how much did you pay?
Please post up the Charge Certificate, redacting only your name and address.

In which you were asked for the full PCN, your reps and the NOR.
None was posted.
You now have a CC.
On the face of it you should pay because you received a NOR..
..but until you post this we're blind.

Yes, I did open a thread for the PCN back in June.
Is it this one?

Does this concern a PCN you already have a thread for?

I paid the fine for a PCN from Tower Hamlets after my appeal was rejected. Now I’ve received a charge certificate, and when I called, they confirmed my payment but then started making up stories—first claiming it was "partial," then saying it was "late." I was placed on hold multiple times as they kept changing their reasoning. Despite this, they didn’t cancel the charge certificate and said they’d get back to me. This is so bizarre!
Any advice?

I usually save a copy of my appeals on my laptop, but in this case, I don’t think I did. The main premise of the appeal was that I was picking up a disabled person who was unable to get to me, and that I stopped briefly to assist without putting anyone in danger — there were hardly any pedestrians in the area at the time, and I left immediately afterward.
As expected, the appeal was rejected. However, I noticed that in the rejection letter, they misspelled my name. Could this error be enough to get the PCN dismissed, or is it not worth pursuing further?

We need the whole of the PCN and the play you wrote to advise.

As expected, I’ve received a Notice of Rejection from Tower Hamlets Council — but they’ve misspelled my name on the letter. Does that kind of error matter at all?
-
Does anyone know where I might be able to find the cases that stamfordman mentioned regarding the confusing signage on Brick Lane?
I’m thinking of writing an appeal that first highlights the confusing signage, then explains that I was picking up a disabled passenger — I'll attach their disability badge as supporting evidence. Does that sound like a good idea?
-
I was picking up a disabled passenger at the time. Would it be reasonable to base my appeal on this, using their valid disability badge as supporting evidence? A friend mentioned that their similar appeal was rejected, so I'm doubtful this will be considered.
It is something you should emphasise in your representations to the council. They may give way, but most London councils have hearts of stone, as they love the money so much.

I think there have been a few cases allowed for the confusing signage. I'll see if I can dig one out later. There are a couple of such restrictions on Brick Lane.
-
Yeah, I believe it was only my second time in the area. I live about an hour and a half away from Brick Lane.
So, are there pretty much no grounds for appeal in this case? Would it be better to just pay the PCN?
-
Video shows you driving slowly past the two signs. The directional arrow is mounted at the bottom of the restriction signs, so its difficult to think of an appeal argument, sorry to have to say it. Are you new to the area, or a stranger to London ?

I received a PCN from Tower Hamlets Council for entering a pedestrian zone on Brick Lane. I was focused on looking at the names of the side roads. I did see the signage, but I saw the one-way sign, so I assumed it was okay to proceed — I didn’t realise there was also a pedestrian zone sign.
It was a silly mistake on my part — is there anything I can with this?
Thanks
