Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Enquiry
« on: May 21, 2026, 03:34:21 pm »
No point contacting an MP. As charge certificates have been issued there is a standard procedure to get these reset to PCN level, providing you're in time, which is fairly common on this forum.

Someone will be along shortly to advise of the procedure.

Is this the stupid question thread? Can I join in? I usually check my tyre pressures in Asda, will it be a problem if i mix it with Tesco air?

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Birmingham City Council PCN Corporation Street at Legge Street (outbound)

Personally I would be appealing. 00:01 and Outbound, I'd like the odds of it being cancelled. Possibly even before adjudication.

It is worth noting that appealing through Birmingham and then the adjudicators would kick it several months down the line, so you will not be asked to pay until after your exams.

If you parked in the bay, and you opened the door, as you say, then why were you getting out the passenger side?

Do you have legal expenses cover on any other insurance? On your home insurance etc. They may be able to help you proceed.

Sadly not, I don't own a home, no never needed these kind of things. I did check with my bank etc back when it happened but, nope.

Have you renewed your car insurance since the accident? You may have legal cover on that.

Just so it's clear, as well as contacting your own personal insurance, get your father in law to contact his business insurance incase you have cover on that side instead.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: NIP recieved 62 in a 50
« on: November 04, 2025, 03:32:06 pm »
The offence will time out on 26/12/25 so you may want to leave it to the last minute to send it back. You're a little short, but depending on the date of the COFP, if they issue one, then you may or may not be in the clear.

There is little point minimising the ban, if, as you are charged with, you do not have a licence, then you are not allowed to drive anyway.

If you have subsequently passed your test, then the 6 points for no insurance will see your new licence revoked until you resit your test.

Didn't have a clue what it was about so called them and gave them the email ref number. They said it was in reference to parking and they tried to get me to confirm reg number saying that they take data protections VERY VERY seriously, and as I have more than 1 vehicle, I gave the 1st 2 characters of the vehicle I didn't think it would be and they confirmed it wasn't that.
I said that it told me all I needed to know and unless there was a court order we had nothing to discuss..and he kept interrupting by unprofessionally forced laughing saying that "their clients ZZPS" is very litiguous and always will sue and they will issue me with a CCJ. I told them that only the court could issue a CCJ, and by all means, take me to court, again with the laughing and "ahhh entitlement, thank you so much for that today ma'am (more laughing) I love it when people try to tell me my job, love.....we'll continue to progress and will be adding more charges"

I just ended the call at that point. The complete unprofessionalism assured me that I had nothing to worry about. Prior to getting this email, I had been getting emails from ZZPS, which I had been ignoring, so this was a progression from this.

In an earlier post, you said that you rang the Debt Collectors and spoke to them, so, with respect, why are you now unable to take a telephone mediation?

A trial footway parking ban zone was set up in City Road in 2021 - I presume it's been made permanent.

OP, you also need to check whether a TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) is actually in place after the trial period has ended. Request it separately from the appeal from the council.

Given that the OP has 5 tickets, is it even worth him accepting the speed awareness course for the one of them? Would it be better to deal with all 5 at court and keep the speed awareness course in his pocket for any future offence?

No doubt TfL will say it is non compliant, i shall of course reply that it is ,according to the DVLA, ignore my protests and send the heavies around

Long answer short, no. Once you fall outside the appeals process then it doesn't matter what the ticket was for, or the rights or wrongs, the debt is owed either way.
