Bumping this as I’m running out time for the discounted rate 🙏

Hey all… I sense I haven’t got a strong enough case to make a representation here but here we go:

I was driving to Birmingham and my car engine light came on so I pulled over. I waited for the car to cool down and my partner met me at the car before then driving off.

I haven’t got a receipt from a garage as the engine light hasn’t come back on since. It was a quiet Saturday so I just assumed it would be fine, but guess I have learned the hard way here.

I would sincerely appreciate assistance with my case, thank you in advance! I posted this in the Pepipoo forums and they’re down and I’m running out of time until the fines increase… basically I accidentally parked in an Islington bay without realising and was issued two parking ticket (I have a CAMDEN permit)

I believe my correspondence with Islington summarises things best but essentially I asked them to cancel the two tickets by referencing a tribunal case that’s supported me, they came back and said no.

Now my issue is that they didn’t address that this is two tickets for one continuous contravention.

I have until April 4th to pay the tickets before they increase!

My initial message is below and their reply is attached!

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to contest two Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) IZ2945829A & IZ29522606 issued for the same continuous parking contravention in Brecknock Road on 04/03/2024 & 05/03/2024, under the authority of Islington Council. As a recent resident, I inadvertently parked in a bay not covered by my Camden Council parking permit, due to unfamiliarity with the distinct parking regulations of the area. This letter serves to acknowledge my oversight in this matter, while also appealing for your discretion in the cancellation of both PCNs. It was a single mistake made during my adjustment to the new area's parking system. In support of my appeal, I would like to reference Tribunal case 2110189461, which dealt with similar circumstances of multiple PCNs issued for what was essentially one continuous parking contravention. The ruling in this case underscored the importance of fairness and proportionality, principles I believe are relevant to my situation. Given this precedent, issuing two PCNs for a singular error seems disproportionate. I respectfully request that both charges be considered in light of this guidance, recognizing the honest mistake made due to recent relocation and genuine efforts to comply with local parking regulations. I am fully committed to respecting and adhering to the parking rules henceforth. I hope this appeal conveys my intent to rectify the mistake and prevent future occurrences. Enclosed, please find a copy of my Camden Council parking permit and my proof of address and other documents that support my case. I am ready to provide further clarification or information as needed. Thank you for considering my appeal. I trust that a fair and reasonable decision will be reached, reflecting the unique circumstances of this case
