What accompanies this letter to prove that the writer has the authority they claim e.g. council tax bill, utility bill (in the same name) etc?

Feel like I shouldn’t have to submit this? Council can verify his name against their records.

Could have been written by anybody who knows thr name of the neighbour.

Needs to be accompanied by soemthing only that neighbour would possess in order to prove it was written by the neighbour  (eg council tax bill)

The court have the date, the judgement and your licence number. It shouldn't be too hard to track down the case...

Is that necessarily right?

If the error is at DVLA's end (eg a transposition error or "fat finger" error) it may not help the mags court to know the OP's DL number (or name and DOB)

All we know (or can presume) is that somebody else's conviction got wrongly recorded against the OP's licence (and name).

Depending on the nature and extent of the error (and who committed it) the mags court may have no details that can be linked to the OP.

(I am assuming the court have already genuinely tried to find these details and have failed.  Or at least that is what they have told the OP.  I suppose the next step would be for court staff to look at every relevant conviction on the date in question and check to see if those convictions have been recorded against the correct licences and drivers by the DVLA.  Or perhaps they have the power to direct the DVLA to do that?)

... I also don't understand why my question has to do with earlier?...

Because what you've said so far on this thread doesn't really make any sense.

What you say the court did in january isn't how the process works.

In order to help you now people really need to know the background to your current situation - and that includes the outcome of your court appearance in January.  Unfortunately you didn't come back and update that thread at the time, and now you seem to have forgotten - or to have misunderstood - what happened at court in January.

As NewJudge said: "... You've got o help us a bit here if you want meaningful advice. Just providing small snippets of what happened (some of which are clearly wrong) doesn't help ..."

There's no point coming here asking for advice if you don't want to answer questions you are asked.

I was recorded at 85 in the 50mph.

The police recorded that speed so I accept that but I slowed down when it went from 70mph to 50mph.

Aren't you contradicting yourself?

On the one hand you say you were recorded at 85 in a 50 and you accept that, but then you say you slowed down when you entered the 50.

So were you doing 85 in the 50?

Any help ?

Just to say you haven't redacted your full name and address from the PCN in your OP and you have also left your surname (" Dear Mr -----" in the NOR above

IMO, they cannot move your vehicle to another road(as opposed to a place not on a road(the 'pound') unless it has already been issued with a PCN.

But according to you, they did because there's no mention of a PCN issued in Amelia.

And IMO, they cannot move to another place on a road which is itself restricted if prospectively the vehicle would again be in contravention, which is what's alleged here.

IMO, something is missing from this account

Perhaps I've misunderstood, but isn't the OP saying that the TRACE check provided by the police shows that the car was TWOC'd from Amelia Street on 25 September and moved to Crampton Street before the PCNs were issued?  That's the only move the OP is referring to.

ie the PCNs were incurred by the TWOC'ers and not the OP or her husband.

What the OP hasn't explained is when the car was left on Amelia Road (sometimetime on or before 25 September presumably) and why it took until 11 October to report the car as missing to the police...

Hello there,

I am keen to resurrect this thread, as I have my tribunal hearing next week.

I am still of the belief that the roadside sign at the parking bay does not indicate a requirement to pay when an event day is on a weekend. Some people have suggested that it is clear that you must pay when the event day is on a weekend, however they have been unable to explain to me how it is clear. If your opinion is that it is clear there is a requirement to pay on a weekend event day I would love to hear why you say that.

Any advice for the tribunal?

Thanks

FWIW - I'm no expert!    - I would agree with you that if the bottom plate is intended to apply to weekends it is at best ambiguous and at worst misleading.

The top plate only refers to "Mon - Fri 9am to 5pm".

The bottom plate refers to "Event Days only" without stating any days of the week, so I would understand it only to be qualifying the top plate and therefore only applying to the days Monday to Friday.

If it's meant to be imposing an additional restriction covering weekends it should say so - eg "Event days (Mon - Sun) only..."

(I won't comment on whether or not the entry signs to the zone correctly identified the match day in question)

But don't rely on my understanding and support as you'll probably lose!

And was 05 March 2026 the date of the parking contravention or the date of issue of the PCN?

You've said both in different posts

Do you not know why Greenwich seem to be convinced that you were RK on the date of the contravention when you say you only became RK wef 07 March 2026, and that that is what the DVLA shows? 

"... The DVLA sent us your details as being the registered keeper of the vehicle on the date of the contravention..."

Yes, 05 March 2026 was the date of the PCN and I bought the car on 07 March 2026, The DVLA sent us your details as being the registered keeper of the vehicle on the date of the contravention I dont understand how this is possible when I bought the car after the PCN was received, I did do a SAR on the car and it shows I was the RK on the 11/01/2026, a whole two months before I even went to see the car. The car was likely in trade, is it possible to place a person as RK even before buying the car if the car is in trade?

Ah... you didn't mention that earlier...  No idea how you would have been showing as RK nearly three months before you bought it?

You had no earlier connection to the car?

What was the date of the contravention?

And when will your appeal be in front of the adjudicator?
