Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Hampshire Council permit parking PCN (not approved on time)
« on: February 20, 2026, 11:41:27 am »
Hi all,
I purchased a second permit for my new car on 13.02.26 (£120!).
But I got a PCN on 14.02.26.
I challenged it as I thought they didn't receive the memo that I paid £120 for the permit yet...
However, i got a rejection letter, saying it only got approved on the 16.02.26.
Is it worth challenging it further? What are the changes I actually win? As much as I know I am right, I also know they don't care.
I did notice, after looking closer to the first email, that there was a PDF of purchase confirmation where it said this is not proof of permit, duh. However... why would you take my money AND keep stating the duration of my permit as: 13.02.26-12.02.27. There are three days difference til it got approved their end.... They would own me three days of permit anyway then?
Also, I had the car parked using visitors permit two days prior, and I would kept using them! but I saw the date and I though: oh, I don't need to use them, permit is in place....
Redacted files: (I can give more info if needed)
Thanks for the advice,
Ana
