Thanks, I have redacted.

They didn't provide a photo of entrance.

I provided the photos.
Gladstone response was shallow and did not attend to our request. See their response in attached...

Thank you

Hello,

Please, can someone advise if this can lead to a CCJ? I honestly do not need one on my file.
Please, I welcome your advice on how to handle this, as it looks like the debt agency is willing to enter one against me.

Greetings,

Really grateful for your guidance and help. I got an update from DVLA.
Kindly find attached letter. It looks like I need to appeal to the independent compliants assessor.
Your guidance is really appreciated.

Thank you!

Good morning,

Following advice to send above email on 2nd May, I got a response after sending above mail as advised. Email reads below-
'This is not the Appeal process please follow the steps on your PCN for the appeal web address to appeal.'

I will appreiate any advice before this gets out of hand. Also, I got a payment reminder (100£ since I have missed the initial window).

I parked yesterday but unfortunately could not wholly park within parking bay due to an column structure which prevented drivers door from opening after parking.
* Unfortunately this was the only space available.
* If I parked within bay, I would not be able to open door.
* this was the only space and I was not obstruction any car within area.
* The enforcement officer knew there was a column preventing me from parking properly but suprisingly, ommitted pictures showing obstruction, which makes me wonder if this was done on purpose.

I kindly need advice on how to approach h this situation.Do you suggest I pay fine or is there any way around this?


Draft letter - Whee do I send this to, please?
Any ammendment would be very helpful.

=======================
I am writing to challenge the issuance of Penalty Charge Notice [PCN number] issued on [date] at [location].

I acknowledge that my vehicle was not wholly within the marked bay. However, I would like to explain that this was due to an unavoidable physical obstruction — a fixed column structure located adjacent to the bay — which prevented me from opening the driver’s door had I parked fully within the bay lines.

At the time of parking:

* This was the only available space in the area.
* Parking fully within the bay would have made it impossible to safely exit the vehicle, and I had no other practical parking alternative.
* I made every effort to park responsibly and was not causing any obstruction to other vehicles or to the general flow of traffic.

I am particularly concerned that the enforcement officer's photographic evidence omits the presence of this fixed obstruction, which was a key factor in the circumstances. I believe this omission presents an incomplete and potentially misleading account of the situation.

I have attached photographs taken afterward that clearly show the column and its proximity to the bay. These demonstrate that the obstruction would have physically prevented the opening of my driver’s door had I parked fully within the bay markings.

Given the exceptional circumstances, the absence of obstruction to others, and the practical limitations I faced, I kindly request that you exercise discretion and cancel the penalty notice.
===================
