What is the VRM please?

Thank you, I will wait to see what Hippocrates says later.  So from what I understand, my recourse should be that the process should not be fettered (ie tied) as it is unfair to offer us a chance to appeal, but really they are not offering the chance to appeal as it is tied to the basis that it puts you off appealing as you lose your discount option - therefore it is fetterd?

I should also mention, I made the initial appeal within the 14 day period.  I got an email back staing that they have 56 days to get back to me.  Eventually I got a letter stating that as the appeal was written by my husband (he was driving my car so wrote what happened) and not the keeper (me) I had to submit it again.  I did so, sending the exact same appeal but from me, and then they rejected it.

Here are the links to the PCN from Havering Council and their rejection letter:https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Qf3nnvTe_fKsGvuJbPpOzXBAcYkfKHf/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1C_VkBwOJZiS2znCVdy3yY7NrMFvd2XZX/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1WeEa9lBiHHVIFLqLsomAi3j9dF3UfE-Z/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1bcSVjsVNLYYAcAltUH8D3AR1BhIYnfKo/view?usp=sharing

Thank you for your help.  I have started the appeal process.  One of the questions is what are the grounds for appeal?  I have screenshotted it here: https://imgpile.com/p/pcGjqDVI'm assuming 'the penalty charge exceeded the amount applicable'?

Okay I think I am in the correct section now.  I so wish I had read the 'Read this first' part before I made the apperal and basically acknowledged he did drive into the zone during the restricted hour.  I have uploaded to imgpile the first letter I received and am trying to load the back and the second letter but imgpile says it is banned so I'm not sure how to post those.Here is the link:  https://imgpile.com/p/3S6hUA7I'll keep trying to add the other pages.

Fabulous, thank you.  They certainly don't make it easy - no wonder people give up and pay it.

Thank you I will do.

My husband was driving my car and inadvertantly strayed into a new No Pedestrian and Cycle Zone.  The back story is that a flyover near us has been closed for months and due to the horrendous traffic he took a back route to avoid it and didn’t notice a time restriction due to schools traffic had been put into place recently and drove down the road during the one hour restriction.  I appealed to Havering Council and explained it was a new zone, he was stressed trying to get to an appointment on time and didn't notice.  They refused the appeal.  It is not the appeal refusal I am disputing, it is that we appealed straight away and explained the circumstances but that because we appealed the 14 day offer is not valid.  The fine was £160 or £80 if paid in 14 days.  In the past you could appeal and the 14 day offer was still valid if they said no (when does an appeal ever work?).  The small print has now changed and it said 'Please be aware that if the representation is made the full charge of the Penalty will be payable should your representation be rejected'.  I did not notice that or would not have appealed.  However, surely it is not ethical to put this in place as it frightens people from making an appeal at all?Would appreciate your thoughts.

I just got an email from Moorside legal that says:Thank you for your email.   To enable us to respond to your email in full, we require authorisation from the account holder for you to act on their behalf and correspond with us.  They can provide us with this authority by calling us on 0330 822 9950, or by writing to us confirming their full name, address, reference number, your full name, and that they consent   to us sharing their personal data with you. Do they mean me?  I don't have an account with Moorside Legal or anyone else.

Perfect thank you.

Apologies, I missed that bit.  I have also had an email from them (no idea how they got my email address) but will ignore all until the LOC arrives. Thank you.

Hi, I have just been sent another notice of claim.  This has a different reference number but says I now owe £340 so preumably they are joining the two things together.  As this has a diferent reference number, should I just send the letter you supplied for the first one to this one with the same details?  It still just says 'unpaid invoices'.I have scanned the doc here:  https://imgpile.com/p/rq6Um0hThank you for your help.

Hi, I have just been sent a letter from BWLegal on behalf of Countrywide Parking Management.  They are offereing 'helpful' payment plans for the £170 debt.  If I dont respond by January 6th they will send a notice of Claim.  I have scanned the document and it is here:https://imgpile.com/p/Cxg6qiAThis is the 8 minutes parking at a free car park in the doctors surgery.Do I respond?

Thank you!  I would have sent it as recorded delivery so that's great advice.  I'll do that when I post it today.
