Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN Not Loading while Parked in a Loading Bay, 3 mins timer started 2 mins after parking.

Thanks ever so much @cp8759. I will craft a letter (thanks for tips on format @HCAndersen) and put it in as soon as I can.

Would it be considered unnecessarily antagonistic to use Tribunal case references as per @Chaseman's documentation? Or is it better to go in looking like the layperson I am?

It's already over a week since it's issue and I probably don't have much longer to get my appeal in.

Best

Erin

Hi, I have found the receipts for when they were dropped in for the two items that I was having repaired, both were lights. It took more than three mintues for the owner to get to me in the queue and then locate said items and to show me they were working. One receipt is dated 3rd August and the other 9th Sept. Life had gotten in the way of collecting them and it became really important as the shop was closing.

I had to collect some items from a shop that was ceasing trading the following day and parked in the loading bay outside. I started a timer the moment I parked and took a photo of the shop as soon as I left the car (because I was sad to see it go) and the time on that photo was 1606. The traffic warden started the three minute timer literally two minutes later at 1608, while I was in the queue to speak to the owner.

The item I was collecting didn't appear to be working and the owner had to have a fiddle with the item to see why not, in those few minutes I took the opportunity to take some video of the shop and even into the shop corridor outside and I caught on tape the fact that I already had a ticket!

By the time I got to the car to see I had been given a ticket I looked at my timer  and according to it I still had 6 minutes left. I did not leave the shop other than to go into the shop. (I may have briefly stepped outside on the pavement to video the front of the shop but went straight back in) and by then my goods were ready.

There will be CCTV of the street I'm sure as it's a very busy road and the council must make a lot of money issuing tickets there. I just feel this is very unfair.

Anyway, I took a photo of my car in the bay and if they had given me a ticket for my wheels being outside of the bay markings they would have been bang to rights, but they did not, so I feel I should fight it. Can I charge them for the admin time? I could so do without all this. Anyway, hope you can help. I used to have an account on PepiPoo and you guys have always helped so much and I'm so grateful you're still here.
