Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: ULEZ fine
« on: July 08, 2026, 11:42:02 pm »Indeed, yes. It is not possible to receive a CCJ in the process which was carefully written in law to make it impossible.If you didn't pay it would eventually be enforced by a firm of bailiffs but it would not affect your credit. The worst that usually happens is they clamp or seize your car.
Thanks
As I live in West Yorkshire, if I ignored it do I still risk bailiffs and car clamping? Thanks

« on: July 08, 2026, 10:41:57 pm »Tincombe thought it was a London PCN where penalties are much higher. Getting out at £35 was probably the best outcome but you would only have paid £70 if you'd appealed and lost at the tribunal.
Ah ok, thank you

« on: July 08, 2026, 08:48:10 pm »Yes, I am prepared to do it on principle...as long as I am not risking more than £70!
You are because the penalty is £140.
They might be prepared to accept £70 even after unsuccessful reps but, as you put your statement, then the answer must be pay before 25th because to progress means risk.
If you want to accept the risk, then I ask you to look at GSV(if this reflects what is current then this would be the standard of signage available to an adjudicator:

IMO, it is compliant and visible.
Thank you for this and I write to conclude I paid the £35 as I cannot afford £140, on the basis that it is unlikely I can win based on the information you kindly provided. Thank you.

By means of an update, my mitigating circumstances were predictably not upheld so I think I have no option but to pay the discounted £90. It is still a lot of money but I phoned them and it seems there are no longer any payment plans available, the financial difficulties aspect of their letter amounts to it going to a debt recovery agency and the consequences to one's credit file.
I did also give evidence of other ailments but they have considered it to not have a bearing on this, perhaps for the reason above that they are not compelled to waiver it on this basis.
Thank you for everyone's help with this. I post to say thank you but also for reference re: the outcome.

By means of an update, Manchester Council acknowledged the payment portal glitch and I now have until end of this Wednesday 24th June to pay half.
I think the advice above means it is worth letting them servce an Notice to Owner ahd trying to appeal again, although it risks losing ahd paying £70?

« on: June 22, 2026, 04:23:57 pm »Thank you. Sorry for the delay. Please find the other 5 pages in the links. Please let me know if illness / tiredness / stress with proof of subsequent GP appointment might help. Also, on Friday, I used their message portal to ask if the deadline for £90 discount was Sunday (today) or Monday (tomorrow) and what date I need to make representations / appeal by whilst keeping the discount. However, this message was sent out of working hours. Thanks.Please see above for images of other 5 pages of PCN

Further to the above, I have spoken to ULEZ customer services and I have until tonight to appeal and then get 14 more days to pay the £90 if they reject it. That will help as I get paid on Friday and they don't allow you to pay in installments any more.
I will get my GP appointment evidence, which I had before I became aware of the ULEZ charge. However, as @tincombe says, is claiming illness, tiredness and stress not going to work at all? Thank you.

Posted 4 June.
Served 8 June, Day 1.
IMO, the discount must be paid no later than the last day of 14-day period which is 21 June. (I dislike the term 'until' X because for some X is included but for others it's excluded.'Not later than' is more precise).
As far as your account goes, your reasons are not statutory defences, they are mitigating circumstances which, if push comes to shove, an adjudicator cannot consider.
Pl post the rest of the PCN.

I received a ULEZ fine, letter dated 04/06/2026 and unfortunately I have until today to pay half, which is still a lot of money. I am sorry but I have been on holiday and need to decide how to respond today. My plan is to now plead financial hardship (true, I don't have £90 right now) and pay in installments (hopefully) unless there are any mitigating circumstances I can use to appeal?
In all honesty, I live in West Yorkshire and had to drive to North London and back the same day when I was ill with a chest infection of some sort (I could evidence this with my GP appointment last week). I think this didn't help me remember to pay (illness, stress, tiredness) but don't know if that is a good enough reason.
Contravention date: 30/05/2026
Location: Cricklewood Bottom. Time: 13.51
Penalty Charge Norice issue date: 04/06/2026
Issuer: Major of London

Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I disagree as the street I parked on has no signs, is not residential, is quiet, has no road markings. The signage on different streets is small. The issue is whether the council can successfully defend this.
I originally tried to pay the extended 'discounted' charge last minute, as I had recently discovered this website as a resource and was hoping to gain clarity. As midnight approached, I decided to pay the half price fee but their payment portal glitched (screenshot attached). I emailed the council about putting the fee back to half due to the glitch but no response. Since then, I am persuaded that this is worth fighting, even if I pay £70 in the end and not £35.
I attach screenshots of their first response to my appeal (21st May), my email follow up (28th May) and their next response, sticking to their guns, on 2nd June.
