Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thank you both very much for your sharing your knowledge on the process, I would never been able to see this myself.

I would like to provide an update, as I just received the Notice to Owner in today's mail. Could someone advise what angle we could try in order to make a case?

My apologies for the rather large pictures...I didn't manage to shrink the format!

thank you very much...I have tried but don't see such a section on the Westminster parking page. I can see in the reponse to my challenge that I should received the notice to owner within 14 days of this letter (14 February), which takes me to 28 February. The Westminster page still says "The amount outstanding on the Penalty Charge Notice will increase to £195.00 on Sat, 19 Apr 2025. Please pay £65.00 now."


Option 2 - Make a Formal Representation
If you do not pay within 14 days from the date of this letter, the full charge of £130 will fall due. If you have not paid before
the end of this 14 day period or the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of the PCN, whichever is the later,
then we will issue a Notice to Owner (NtO) to the registered keeper of the vehicle. The NtO will allow the registered keeper
to make full payment or a formal Representation, appealing against the issue of the PCN; the procedure for doing so will be
explained on the NtO. Any new evidence can be presented with the formal Representation.

Thank you very much @cp8759 for your response on Wednesday this week. The notice to owner should be delivered by post at my home address right?

I definitely have evidence of the viewing appointment, but only via the exchange of whatsapp messages.

hi all,

I just got a response from Westminster with a rejection notice. The letter says that I have a further 14 days from the 28/02/2024 to pay the fine of £65

However, the City of Westminster website says:

"The amount outstanding on the Penalty Charge Notice will increase to £130.00 on Mon, 3 Mar 2025. Please pay £65.00 now."

May this be a ground to challenge the case?

If I use the reason 'the alleged contravention did not occur' at the Westminster appeals website, I'm asked to select further details by picking one of the below reasons:

At the time I am supposed to have been in contravention, I was loading and unloading
The restriction that I am supposed to have ignored was not signed
At the time I am supposed to have been in contravention, the restriction did not apply
At the time I am supposed to have been in contravention, I was elsewhere
I was instructed by a police officer to do this

Pleese can anyone advice which one to pick?

In fact I was going for a quick viewing of a flat that may be up for rent

I think there may be a ground to appeal as the observation time was clearly not respected, when looking at the Westminster website:
