Free Traffic Legal Advice

The leasing company has informed them I am the hirer, why are they asking me to sign something admitting liability?

So we made an appeal on the website stating I was not the driver. They then sent a letter asking for evidence that there is another hirer/leasee of the vehicle and we should respond within 8 days of RECIEVING the letter. I have spoken to my leasing company and can't get hubby's name on the contract although he is on the insurance and his name is on the cuurrent certificate of insurance (recently updated on their system automatically from 30th June), we have no previous certificates confirming (never needed to download them) his additional to the insurance although he has been on the insurance since the start of the contract in 2023.

Please see copy of correspondence attached.

Any further advice?

Hi all,
Thank you for your advice in advance.

So, this one is probabaly my fault. I was dropping my grandma off at Eastcroydon station and parked behind a car to run her to the platform. Unfortunately,  engineering works meant the whole journey had to be aborted but it took nearly 20minutes to sort this out and when we came out, I had a ticket (attached).

This is my last day to pay discount.

Should I just pay? There were no clear marking hut I was behind a backlog of cars which had all coveneniently moved away from the images the CEO took.

Please help.

Many thanks in advance,

Zoe

So I emailed them as I got a charge certificate. They have now agreed to reduce it back to the initial amount and given me 14 days to pay redu Ed amount but I  still want to argue for the chance to make an online representation. See correspondence below:
From croydon in an email

" Penalty Charge Notice:                CR2198351A

Vehicle Registration Mark:           OE73GDV

Date of Contravention:                 21/01/2025

Location of Contravention:           Lennard Rd, Croydon by Oakfield Rd

Contravention Code Description: Failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone (Camera Enforcement)

 

Thank you for writing to us.

 

It is now too late for you to challenge, or continue challenging, your PCN. The PCN we sent you gave you 28 days to challenge your PCN, but this time has now passed.

 

We sent you a PCN because our CCTV camera evidence shows your vehicle entering a pedestrian zone when it was not allowed to. There is a white, rectangular sign which says 'Pedestrian zone' and shows the restrictions.

 

A PCN that has not been fully paid progresses through a series of stages and increasing charges. Although your case has progressed to an increased charge, we have reduced the charge for a limited period to the amount shown below.

 

Here are the details about your case, which follows a strict legal process:

We sent you a PCN which explained that you could: pay the discount charge within 14 days;pay the standard charge within 28 days (if you missed the discount period); orformally challenge your PCN within 28 days. The PCN also explained that, if you did nothing, the charge would increase from £130.00 to £195.00 and that you would receive a Charge Certificate explaining this.

 

We sent you the Charge Certificate.

 

You can view CCTV evidence of your case online at www.viewmypcn.co.uk/croydon

 

You have these choices:

 

You can pay the reduced charge of £65.00 if your payment reaches us within 14 days of the date of this letter.The Charge Certificate we sent you explained that you needed to pay £195.00. You had 14 days to do this.If you take neither of these payment options, we will apply to the County Court to recover the £195.00 - plus court costs - from you. "

My response below

"Dear Team,

Thank you for your reply, I have been unwell and therefore unable to action this.


Thank you for returning the pcn charge to the original amount however, the point I made in my email is that I was unable to submit an appeal in the given period because (according to previous correspondence from you) your systems had already recorded the response from lease company as an appeal and therefore did not accept any attempts I made to submit my appeal. 


My argument here is that that is in itself an unfair practice as it robbed me of the right to make the appeal. Therefore I ask that you reset this to allow me to submit my appeal as I intended originally.



I look forward to hearing back from you.


Yours faithfully,"
