Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: 52m - Browning road e12 north side - failing to comply with prohibited sign.
« on: October 11, 2026, 11:40:14 am »
Thanks, paid £80, closed the matter.

Interesting when I sent them the informal message saying that I didnt receive the NOR and I have received the court letter. They send me that dfact sheet about being in debt and stuff. But they never informed that that if I had not received the NOR I can make a claim with the court. The advised me to pay the £240 before the costs go up with court costs and then debt collection costs.

I feel this is pretty sneaky that they are suppposedly concerned about peoples welfare and being in debt. Yet they dont inform you about your rights to get the orignal charge amount re-imposed by making the declaration.


I have no stopped delivery driving, it's not worth the stress. the delivery company was also being very very harsh and kicking people off for not be able to delivery, routinely make you wait at the warehouse to receive your delivery load up to an hour. You are not paid hourly, you get paid for tyour shift. So the hour deal comes out of your own time.

And with the fuel prices as high as they are - it's just not worth it. I have a private parking charge that I ingnored. and this stupid residents only road where to get access into the area - it's a 15 minute detour. And the delivery apps do not route you through.

Got the PCN reissued, and it's back to the discounted £80

Would just pay this and get rid of the headache to be honest. But it's worth asking.

Is there an expiring date of enforcement of PCNs?

The contravention date is 11th April 2026
Have just received the PCN reissued on 30th September 2026.

It would be 6 months from infraction on 11th October 2026. Is there a 6 month expiry on these?

I ended up paying £20 to get the solicitor firm to verify the signature. Seems a bit steep for the work involved.

The letter was sent off and county court wrote back to registered keeper. Do I need to scan and upload the document?

basically letter dated 11-09-2026 (or this could be the date they received the declaration). Stating that order for recovery for unpaid charges is to be revoked. It is further orders that the charge certificate be cancelled.

But it does not cancel the original PCN.

WOuld the council reissue the PCN with the discount or not discount?

This court Letter was received on Tuesday 22nd September.

I have gone to the newham PCN payment portal today on 25th september. And they are still asking for the previous amount of £251. I presume they haven't processed the court notification on their side.

Order for recovery has been issued.

I will scan and upload today.

I'm just curious, what is the best way to get a declaration signed before a comissioner of oaths? How much does a solicitor charge for this typically? Would it be free to go to a justice of the peace (at a magistrates court) and get it signed in front of them?

This just seems absurd and just uncessary loopholes they make you jump through.

Ok update on the situation.

Keeper received a charge certificate on 26th june.

Waiting for the next stage to make declaration, I dont know the full ins and outs, but to quote above "At the OfR stage, you submit a Statutory Declaration to the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC)", which is what we are waiting for. I presume we receive a letter from the traffic enforcement centre.

keeper received a letter from newham council dated 14th July just urging keeper to pay, and some BS of cost of living - funny how the cost of living information wont give people on universal credit some leeway to pay a means tested lesser charge to close this. But I digress.

Am I correct in assuming newham council have to pay a bigger fee than £10 to the TEC. So they are just buying more time from the keeper to get this charge certificate paid?

i dont make the first person/third person switch in formal writngs, just messed up here on the ftla forum as I wasn't concentrating. I wrote and submitted this on behalf of wife with her permission. Her name was used on the forms, contacts etc. her email. So for all intents of purposes she is the one posting the representation.

the appeal:


Quote
Dear Sir/Madam
The vehicle was used by my husband during the time of contravention. He was using the vehicle for delivery. I would need some time to look at the TMO/TRO to see if there are any dispensations made for access into Browning road.

I have attached husband’s information, his pay showing the date and time of the shift, and secondary source confirming the same information from the 3rd party insurance company called INSHUR.
As well as his Google timeline showing his movement.
I have noted that the purpose of the LTN on the councils own publications is to prevent the rat run and surplus traffic that runs through busy periods. I feel the LTN over reaches its intended purpose as the rat runs are only an issue during commuter times and school closing times.
You can see from the evidence presented that my husband is in the area for work purposes, delivering parcels. He was not using the road as a transit route during a commute.
My husband was delivering on one side of the LTN and his next delivery was just over on the other side of the LTN when he crossed through without noticing the signs.
I will be requesting copies of the TRO/TMO to check the validity of the signage in relation to the documents.
Kind Regards

[wifes name]

Fear not !

At the OfR stage, you submit a Statutory Declaration to the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC),  not the council. Provided the SD is received within the period allowed from service of the OfR, your SD will be automatically accepted, you don't have to prove anything. The only time the council can object to an SD is when it is submitted out-of-time.

Have you checked on the Newham web pages to see the status of the PCN and its events log ? (I'm assuming they do have one)

Anyway, main advice is DO NOT PAY THE CC, but wait for the OfR.  The time is now well overdue for the law to be changed to insist on enforcement documents being sent by tracked mail, the councils make shedloads of money from PCNs so can well afford it.

Have you had any difficulties with mail in the recent past at all ?

I have gone into the appeals page to get an events log, met with a page that just says the out of time for appeals message.

on the view evidence link, i only get the images and videos of vehicle, no events log.

Mail is fine here. I would have had to miss 2 mails, the rejection of IR as well as the increase fine letter from discount to full.

Similarly on the RKs email. they have acknowledged receipt of submission of appeal. then no email since.

But another PCN with the same council was appealed in June and accepted after a few days. So emails from them are being received and delivered to the inbox.

I sent the appeal in on 5th May, within the discount period I beleive.

I forgot about this and now today on a letter dated 26th June with a charge certificate of £240

the keeper has not received any letters or emails about the outcome of the represenation. The keeper has received the confirmation of represenation in their email and newham do send outcomes of represenations by emails as well

Alarm bells ringing, pl put my mind at rest.

Why change from the first person to the third?

Was the PCN addressed to you by name?

THE RK is my wife. but I deal with all PCNs for the family and I drive her car most of the time.

Most of the time I am appealing as her with her permission

I have the representation code and the contents of my represenation. I just left it to them to either do a yay or nay while I look through the tro (I haven't managed to get onto that yet).

Where does that leave me? What am I supposed to do now. There is nobody I can get to on the phone at newham council. Spend 10 minutes on automated phone line and it just closes the phone at the end with no option to speak to anyone.

How di I prove on the order of recovery stage that no appeals were received. they may have had a IT glitch with stopped appeals from going out. But will they even know or accept that?

Was on delivery had several delivries on Browning road. I do not have the record. but I have my pay record for the time and I have google timeline showing me stopping all over the area.

The CCTV seems to show I'm turning right into the restricted road, but there is no road to the right, I was parked offside doing delivery and probably had more dleiveries just up the road which made me not see the sign. I think I was parked close to the sign that my sun visor probably didn't allow me to notice the sign when I got back in my car and proceeded to drive on.

Web code hidden to prevent anyone abusing the form. I will upload all the media in the evidence page shortly.






I have hidden the webcode, so I have uploaded all the media here:




VIDEO LINK:  https://forumshares.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/newham/cctv4.avi

I'd like to look at the traffic management order to see if there is something in there that has dispensation for "access" in a previous case I took it to tribunal and won (a sign I didn't notice because I was doing multi drop), that time they left something in the open about restrictions to motorvehicle, except for access. The sign didnt say access. And adjudicator granted it because the sign does not comply with the TMO/TRO.

ALthough I'm short of time and on th elast day of discount, not sure if I should just send an appeal now - filling in anything and do more research and take it to tribunal. Or if I should lose the discount and research and file a proper informal appeal (in case they do offer the discount again after rejecting informal appeal).

the gazzette notice is here.

(a) a prohibition of vehicles proceeding in a southerly direction from entering Browning Road at its junction with Rectory Road, except for buses; taxis; pedal cycles; A1 access permit holders, refuse collection vehicles and certain other vehicles in certain circumstances;

I'm hoping on the actual TMO it has except for access.

Private parking tickets / Re: CPM: parking fine - reason: Vehicle Not Registered - Bow River Village
« on: April 29, 2026, 01:58:54 pm »
ok I understand how. When I was searching, i hit the search from the top right hand corner and I think it only searched a section of the forum so I only saw my own threads. So i thougth Id do a wider internet search, and perhaps search the oldest and biggest consumer financial forum on the UK internet to see if they have cases recorded there.

I have now done a full sitewide forum search. I can now see 156 results too.

Not sure why earlier searches didn't give me the same result. The search results do repeat the same thread multiple times and there is a prolific repeated search for CPMS vs Akanda (which reappears many times and is a different company to CPM altogether).

I searched the forum for

CPM court

and the search returned 156 examples.

money saving expert? I see 25 threads, which forum are you looking at? the mse threads go far back as 2018 mind,.

though as recent as 2024, they took someone to court for not paying to parking, entering and leaving a car park for 12 minutes and driver won in court. But I am surprised they actually took them to court over this.  Maybe it was the strongest short stay infraction they thought they had to try and set a precendant, so they tried their luck.

I'm out of options, this will have to go to court then.

Does CPM take people to court?

I googled and found a few - they seem to be persist parkers who just used the residents bays in the apartment block they live in because they didn't want to pay the monthly parking permits.

So the CPM used gladstones to take them to court, because obviously the cpm can roll multipe infractions into one case and pursue them and make it worth their while.

The other question is, if the court goes against my way, what is the likely amount that defendant can owe? AI is saying it could be £300. But I thought small claims court will only award the first discount parking charge if it goes against the defendant.
