Same thing has happened to me... but twice!! Did you resolve your issue?
-
Why? Were you and, more to the point, how could you prove this and even if you could do you know that 'loading' is an exemption?
-
Can I write I was loading?

It's a no-brainer to now appeal to London Tribunals, as the penalty doesn't increase and there are no additional costs.
Any reason for not paying for parking at the location on the original PCN ?

Register your appeal.
Grounds Procedural Impropriety.
For info, the Notice of Rejection:
1. Fails to inform you correctly of your rights of appeal;
2. Fails to inform you correctly of the council's power to serve a charge certificate.
1a - because you only have a statutory right to register an appeal up to the end of the period of 28 days BEGINNING on the date of service of the NoR;
1b- because you were not informed that the adjudicator may register an appeal AFTER the end of the 28-day period.
2a- the council may only serve (not send as they have said, but serve) a CC after your STATUTORY appeal period has ended. Therefore it follows that by specifying this with reference to the incorrect date base in 1a they have failed to inform you correctly of their power in this regard.
Each of the above is mandatory and therefore by failing to comply with the regulations they have committed a procedural impropriety in EACH case.
In short, they're incompetent, but sadly this is not grounds of appeal!
You should register your appeal by 10 August - NOR issued Thurs. 10 July, deemed served Mon. 14th which is day 1 of the 28-day period.
But do it beforehand, you don't want to miss deadlines.
Wait for other comments.

There is no first letter - the windscreen PCN is the first thing.
You got a notice to owner presumably? Let's see it.
But this is unpleasant - we are seeing more councils get tough on getting the full amount but most will still offer the discount for a lost PCN.
Unfortunately the tribunal can't use mitigation to cancel if there is evidence the PCN was served, but you have nothing to lose by appealing and making Haringey pay to contest it.
But .... what were your reps? They say they won't cancel but you say you were only asking for the discount?

Hi All
I received a PCN from Haringey the PCN was torn off the car and I haven't received the first letter I have requested them to go back to discount price but it was rejected
I have not received the first letter at all
