Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Ealing Council PCN Visitors Permit using wrong digit

@stamfordman
Thank you vey much for this.
My cars VRM ? relevance ?
Yes the contractor is the owner / keeper of the vehicle.
I have written back to the Council in an email suggesting that the PCN notices might be cancelled before the need to go any NTO and adjudication.

Thank you for responses. I am going to bite the bullet and continue to challenge as I feel it is completely unreasonable having clearly paid for the parking. On double checking the Pay by Phone proof of payment which I have emailed to the Council today it is in fact that I used number 0 rather than letter O, which is in actual fact exactly how the number plate reads to the naked eye.

Extremely grateful for advice on how to proceed.
I used a Visitors Permit through the Pay by Phone app to park a contactors van and paid to cover a full day (restriction times are 9-10 am and 2-3pm)
It transpires I had used the letter O from the number plate instead of 0. The 0 in this case is the last digit on the plate, looking at other number plates the last three digits are in letter form hence my using letter O. The van received two tickets, one for each period.
The challenges have now both been declined.
The penalty will be £80.00 (reduced from £ 160.00)for each offence. This is the same penalty if I had not paid for any parking permit at all !
I think this is grossly unfair being a simple case of human error and I would like to appeal further in the hope of having these notices overturned.
The further complications being that they say in the decline I am not allowed to further challenge and the fine if not paid within 28 days will result in a Notice to Owner (a building contractor) who can then appeal.
It states - 'It is not possible to appeal to an adjudicator without making formal representation to us' therefore after the NTO is served.
I imagine there is a precedent for this case (cases), any help will be very gratefully received. I certainly don't want to end up paying 2 x £ 160.00 and really would prefer not to have to involve the owner of the vehicle.
Many thanks.
