Hi I've received this PCN for being parked outside my building in a resident permit zone (I have a garage so I never bothered buying a permit). I was literally running in for a minute to pick something up from my flat (hence I didn't park in the garage) so it couldn't have taken more than 5-6 mins for me to take the lift up, get the item (after a short search) and come back out. Just my luck- when I came out I saw the PCN already there. I was shocked because there was no way the CEO could've observed for any substantial amount of time, and when I checked the PCN- it shows I was observed from 11:17 - 11:17! (All pictures within that time frame too).I'm sure I can get this one cancelled- I just want some help in drafting the best possible challenge.

@cp8759 I finally received my reply. Rejected. Any use taking this further? Or should I just pay?https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nQQXn-FU89_Te5eJEXq1Uf24zzHW9rAD?usp=drive_link

@cp8759

@cp8759 No I did not, I already received the PCN and wasn't going to use another one for 15 mins. You can include the proof of the fact that the 1st of April wasn't a Wednesday. Also I'm not sure what can be done about the lack of VRM.

@cp8759 I've noticed that my deadline is actually Friday 2 August 2024.

@cp8759 I'm merely tagging you as I see you haven't noticed my reply.

@cp8759 I needed two permits as each one is valid for an hour. (restriction's from 10-12)I don't have the original permits but these are all the pictures on the council page. You will see that both have the same date (wrong month scratched out- it was the 1st of May...) one is from 10am and the other from 11am, however as the council pointed out, I also forgot to write the reg.Permits

@cp8759, I'm sorry I thought I made it clear (in my first post). I'm married and live in another borough, I was visiting my parents who live in Harringay and ended up staying overnight. I only realised the next morning that if I stay till after 10am I'd need a permit.P.S. I'm really grateful for all your tireless work. Thank You!

@cp8759, do you think There's any hope? I think my 14 days are up... Please can you help me draft a formal representation? Or do you think I should just pay?

Oh gosh! You're right- I totally overlooked that! I really didn't enter the VRM. Is there still any hope?

I have just received my NTO . Please advise me how to proceed.

I've actually just received my rejection. I've attached it here.Rejection

Okay. I'll do my best to remember all the details. I realized only that morning around 9-9:15 that I needed to scratch out a permit and go outside to display it in the car. This was around Breakfast time for my two kids (no playgroup that day hence I visited my parents). My wife was still upstairs so I had them both to feed. I put the one year old in the highchair and gave her Weetabix. The 2 year old was seemingly occupied with his cereal so I thought I'd grab a moment to scratch it out. I gave my phone a cursory glance to check the date while keeping an eye out to prevent a Weetabix tornado. I saw it was the 1st and proceeded to scratch it out. Calm moments don't last too long and soon noticed the 2 year old run out of his seat , I carried on scratching slightly distracted and must've scratched April by rote. It all went downhill from there... I heard a muffled thud from the dining room and my oldest bursting into loud wails. I grabbed the permit and ran. By the time I had the situ under control I really needed to run to the car. however I came back to the kitchen and discovered that the 1 year old had happily used my absence to practise her make-up artistry - with Weetabix! I must admit by that point I was a bit flustered and yelled to my wife to come down while I ran out to the car. I finished scratching it out and made a dash for it. When came back I had the honors of weeding the Weetabix out of said youngest's hair, and I didn't give another moment's thought to the permit. It wasn't until around 11:45 when my mother mentioned some event that was due to take place on 9th May and she said "next week" that it hit me. I zipped out to the car but it was too late. it was all adorned with a bright yellow souvenir...That's the basic outline. Theatrics were added for effect (and because I enjoy it.) but all the details are true to the best of my memory. Anyone with kids will understand that a babysitting dad requires too much multitasking for any male. Just the constant thought "what are they gonna do next?" is enough to distract...

Just the usual's, Catching Nappies before they leak. I think at some point one of them banged into the edge of a table and needed calming while we needed to keep an eye out for the younger one (who only crawls) as she kept making a beeline for the stairs. Regular lively kids. I don't generally get a long time to focus on things while they're in action Trying to juggle that and breakfast just meant that my permit scratching skills were not up to par. I can't say for sure but I probably would've noticed the mistake had I been more settled.

Youngest is just over 1. The older one is turning 3 in a 2 months
