Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Blackwall & Silvertown Tunnel - Pending PCN
« on: January 08, 2026, 07:25:24 pm »
Hi John, apologies for the late reply! I’ve been a bit busy.

Yes, I completed the paperwork on the day and they did the transfer of keeper online while I was there.

The V5C issue date was only a few days ago though (and I still don’t have it yet) so it’s likely they’ll get the PCN and have to forward it to me.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Blackwall & Silvertown Tunnel - Pending PCN
« on: December 22, 2025, 03:10:08 am »
Hi all,

I bought a car on Thursday and took it through both the Silvertown & Blackwall tunnel through charging times on the same day.

As I have autopay on my other car, and was already stressed out that day due to issues with the car I just bought, it completely skipped my mind that I actually need to add this car to the account.

I (incorrectly!) thought it was already there and I'd just be debted as normal at the end of the month.

'Twas only around ~12:05am today that I realised (just over the 3 days grace!) that I needed to both add the account AND pay for the crossings.
I've now done that, but it's too late.

I already know there's a piece of paper coming for me, possibly two.

While I'm pretty much BTR, is there a case where TFL would be lenient enough to cancel this charge with an appeal mentioning my account?

Or will the appeal just buy me more time for the inevitable £90 (or scarily, £180) fee?

(Also on that note - does anyone know if these PCN's will be bundled as one, or two?).

This seems to be a relatively new thing, as all the threads I've searched for come back to relatively the same dates.

I've also gotten one of these and just appealed using the boilerplate, so I'll let you guys know the result.

(didn't make a new thread as I'm not really asking for help)

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Havering and Newham PCNs
« on: September 05, 2025, 05:38:34 pm »
Hi guys,

Posting on behalf of a friend here, who was not the driver.

The driver has received 2 moving traffic PCNs, one from havering and one from Newham. I thought collating them into one post would be better for clutter reasons.

Both look pretty BTR to me, but maybe one of you know any loophole that could be used to get them cancelled?

No need - if MET challenge your appeal they'll produce an evidence pack which will contain the notices.

If I were a betting man I'd wager that they'll save themselves the POPLA fee and withdraw, but you never know.

Well you'd have made some money on that!
They withdrew today! Thank you all for your help :)

Awesome, thank you very much.

About to send this off - do I need to attach images of the NTK's too? or just this appeal only?

Sorry for my incessant questions, I just need to make sure I get this right.

Alright, I've copied that in and filled in my vehicle details.
Should I send it off?
It looks exactly the same bar personal informaiton so I'm not sure there's a need to paste it here.

Sounds fair, will do shortly.

Will they consider the breach of POFA or does that count as mitigation?

In an interesting turn of events, MET have replied pretty promptly.


The reply looks like they read nothing of what was said though.


I've been issued a POPLA code, can anyone help with the appeal?

Appeal has been submitted, I'll reply with their response (which, judging by their previous response times, will be in July) ;D

No idea why the image is sideways lol. Showing as portrait here. How annoying.

Apologies if the quality is a bit bad - the file size was too large.


For future reference - there's a guide to uploading using a third party here: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum guide

Ah I had no idea you could use imgur on here! Will do next time - much easier :)

Alas, after 3 months, I have received a NTK.

Date of issue was 6th March, however I only got it on the 15th March.

Usually I would blame the company for this (APCOA is a offender of this one in my experience - by the time I receive the notice, 12 out of the 14 days have already passed) but I think there was an issue with my local DO as I got like 7 letters all dated similarly in one day.


Attached is the NTK - what's my next move?

No chance of a CCJ.

Do you have any understanding of how someone gets a CCJ? Nothing we advise on here will make anyone get a CCJ.


Yeah, as I understand it's through repeated ignorance of communications. I'm not worried about getting one, I know you guys are great at what you do, it was moreso an oddly worded way of hoping this gets resolved before the POPLA stage lol.

Either way, it's the 23rd of Feb now, and nothing back from MET as of yet.

Emailed them on the 14th, as they say if you don't hear back from your appeal in 28 days, that you should email them to find out what has happened.

Really wish the law was clean and simple for cases like this - a company not responding timely should auto-cancel tickets like this, or be an auto win at a formal appeal. Imagine having to pay for a ticket you received months ago only because the of the companies incompetence.

It's getting to the point where I'm forgetting it exists.

Hope you guys had a great Christmas and Happy New Year :)

It's been a while and I've so far had nothing back from MET. I got an email of acceptance when I sent my appeal off, saying that they would get back to me within 28 days. 28 days would've been the 25th of January. It's now the 2nd of February and still nothing.
While I did send my representations a day later, I'm almost certain that if they wouldn't accept it they would state such.

Not too keen on getting a CCJ of any sort, is there much I can do apart from just waiting?
Wish this was like Haringey where you can see a timeline of what's going on with the PCN online.
