Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi thanks for your reply!

My partner is the registered keeper and I was driving (named driver on the insurance policy).  So it doesn't make sense when they are talking about hire/lease?

Hi, any help is gratefully received, we can't really afford to pay this right now.

Good afternoon all,

I submitted the appeal and at the beginning of March Enfield council replied with a letter saying I was not able to appeal as I was not the registered keeper of the vehicle.

There is wording on this letter saying about waiting for a notice to arrive so that it can be appealed but the next letter we received was today, and this is a charge notice saying the charge is now £240?  It has no way of appealing or otherwise contacting the council about this charge.

Rejection Letter

Charge Certificate

Please help!  I can't afford £240 and I feel this PCN should have been dismissed anyway.

Hi all, thanks for your help so far.

I am not too familiar with the area but I believe we were approaching from Oakwood, I turned right onto Oakwood Crescent.

I have uploaded the PCN, video and pictures from the PCN into this folder:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11N0Bx3pk_mPbarRvPPxcc0c_6DZ1l_PR?usp=sharing

I have also taken two photographs showing:

1) the only signs before the turn are a 'Traffic Enforcement Cameras' sign on the right, and a School sign and Humped Crossing sign on the left.  No sign warning of a restricted entry road coming up.

2) the tree right in the way of the view of the road we turned into obscuring the signs.

The video clearly shows us stopping immediately after entering the road, and it is clear from the car's road position that I opened the door to get out to look at the sign rather than to park the car, which is what we believe they are trying to show by cutting the video where they did.

The picture of the numberplate is also from the front of the car so it is clear that we have turned around to not use the road.

The fact that the house on the corner and the junction has been blurred on GSV and the fact that GSV is fairly up to date 50 yards either side of the junction suggests the council may have requested GSV to restrict the view as well, but I may just be overly cynical at this point.

Thanks again for the help!

Hi, yes it is the same car I've had for a couple of years.

Thanks

Thank you again for your help.  I have contacted the website this morning and hopefully they can assist.

Hi all, please help me as I am stressing about two letters sent to me by CDER Group.

I received a PCN for parking in a residents bay in September 2024.  I paid for parking up until 6:30pm at which time the bay becomes residents only.  I did not realise this as English is not my first language and a PCN was issued approximately 6:45pm.

Unfortunately due to a series of events (I was evicted and placed into temporary accommodation) I lost the PCN and have since not updated the V5c until recently.  I forgot about the PCN.

Today an old housemate handed me a stack of letters from my old address.  One of which is a notice of enforcement dated 20/03/2025 with a deadline to pay £280 by 6am on the 30/03/2025 and a second letter stating an enforcement officer had visited with intent to take control of goods after a court order.  The cost has increased to £515.

I am on universal credit and can't possibly afford to pay this.  My car is on a hire purchase agreement.  I understand that I had not updated my V5c but is there any advice please?
