Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Islington, 25JM Failing to comply with prohibition (...), St Peter's Street
« on: September 12, 2025, 08:31:00 pm »
It's proving difficult to obtain a Crime Reference Number. As the Met police suggests, I reported the cloned number plate online. On the website I was advised I would get a crime reference number after 24 hours. In an automated submission confirmation email I was advised I would get a crime reference number after 48 hours. Both has passed and I have not received a crime reference number. I will wait until Monday and then send a complaint to the police.

I found Islington's view PCN page and found the option to challenge PCNs. I have not done that yet, because I believe I should wait for a crime reference number before doing this.

John U.K. advised to "check TfL for any outstanding PCNs against you reg". I found no way to do this.

Thank you very much for your advice and the footage.

For "Spot the Difference" enthusiasts, here are additional photos of our vehicle: https://imgur.com/a/ZDawkZn

I'll go ahead and report to my local police, get a crime number, and then check "I never was the owner of the vehicle in question" and explain why the photographed car is not our car, despite the same license plate number.

I'll see if I can figure out how to challenge the PCNs that haven't arrived by letter yet based on the PCN numbers posted by you.

Thanks, this is great footage. Where did you find this?

Here is a photo of our car rear: https://imgur.com/a/CfsaM3a

Differences to the photo posted by you: EU stars on blue ground on left side of the rear license plate are missing; "Hybrid technology" logo missing next to "Auris" text.

Feels like one of those "spot the difference" challenges I did as a kid. I was not very good at them.

Outline of the case:

Received the PCN today. The photographed car is not our car. My partner and I were at home at the time with our car in the driveway. Our "Google Maps Timeline" shows us both at home. Our insurance fitted monitoring device shows no trips on the day of the alleged offense. Our dashcam made no recording on that day.

The photographed car looks very similar to ours. The colour and the vehicle registration number match. From the provided photographs it's hard to tell whether the photographed car is the same model as ours, it may well be. The only difference I spotted with certainty: the photographed car has no P plate, our car has magnetic P plates (documented on many photos and Google maps).

How you might help:

Please advise how I should respond to the PCN.

Driver parked at Chiswick Sainsbury's (London W4 5UT) from 3pm to 3.30pm and from 3.55pm to 4.00pm. Maximum stay in the car park in 2 hrs, no return within 1 hr. Here's the sign from the car park: https://imgur.com/a/tVL0lkp .

I'm the registered keeper. Will a parking ticket be sent to me?
We can't possibly know.

If one is indeed sent, it should certainly be to you (though there is no limit to the incompetence of the parking companies). Are your details on the V5C correct?
The details on my V5C are correct. I should rather have asked: will a parking ticket be sent? I'm confident that if one is sent, then it will be sent to me.
