Is there anything I can do to challenge the below PCN. I did pay for parking via the app - in fact, I overpaid for a whole day. But when the PCN was issued I had not paid for parking at that point in time. I did appeal but - This is their response.....
Penalty Charge Notice: WW34441579
Vehicle Registration Mark: LO65OXS
Date & Time of Issue: 02/07/2025 at 10:20
Thank you for your correspondence in respect of the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
I write to advise that your representation made in response to the Notice to Owner was received after the case had escalated to Charge Certificate. I confirm that the Council is not required to take any correspondence into account once it has reached this stage. However, I have reviewed this case.
A condition of use of this car park requires motorists to purchase a parking session at the time the vehicle is parked, which remains valid for the duration of their stay. A contravention occurs if a motorist leaves the car park without making payment.
Our records show that you did purchase a cashless session for your vehicle but that the payment was made at 11:11, which was after the PCN had already been issued.
Furthermore, while we do allow motorists a small window of time in which they can purchase a session after the vehicle was observed, your session was purchased outside of that window. Therefore, I can see no reason to cancel the PCN on this occasion.
You were given the opportunity to challenge the penalty charge, but representation was not received by the date stated on the Notice to Owner. Now that case has gone to Charge Certificate, you have forfeited your right to appeal, and the Charge Certificate has now been issued increasing the penalty charge by 50% to £75.00. Failure to pay the increased amount may result in registration of the debt at the County Court and, ultimately, a warrant being issued to enforcement agents.
