Private parking tickets / Re: euro car park parking fine went to wrong address and now i received debt letter
« Last post by RichardW on Yesterday at 08:37:19 pm »
If there's a chance ECP have the wrong address, you need to send a Data Rectification Notice to them instructing them to update your address for service and to erase any old addresses.  Not doing so risks any court claim going to your old address, and them getting a default judgement when you don't reply.

The original NTK will show whether there are any defence avenues based around their compliance with POFA - but if you have contacted them and revealed the driver's ID, maybe not....

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Newham - code 12 parked in resident's place without valid virtual permit - Geoffrey Gardens

The latest Newham policy has nothing to go on. Councils are taking out such policies from their enforcement documents, that is if they are bothering with policy docs now.

The Islington case I found cited above was a 6 day expiry. This is longer at 10 days but I'd say within 2 weeks ought to be qualifying.

That's what I call winging it...

Who is the registered keeper as reps must come from them.

I would start it like this:

The contravention did not occur owing to circumstances beyond my control.

Let me explain.

Change the start to:

I am challenging this Penalty Charge Notice on the basis...

Add in brackets after 'fragile, high-value goods' '([type of] bottles)' as the goods become bottles with no explanation.

I really wouldn't worry about getting a witness statement at this stage. This is a solid case.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Code 12 ticket hobart street plymouth, bay markings almost totally gone/tarmaced over

GSV is dated Feb 2023, and the markings are pretty well worn out on that view of nearly 3 years ago. The law is that if you park in a marked-out bay, the onus is on you to determine what restrictions may apply. However, here, even though there is a sign,  if you parked some distance from it, there is no requirement to look, because as far as you can see, there are no parking bay markings.

However, such is the greed for cash with councils, that it is almost inevitable they will reject any representations you submit as an immediate challenge. The next stage, if you don't pay, is the service of a Notice to Owner to the person on the V5C Registration Certificate (what used to be called the "Log Book", because it was a complete record of the keepers).

So the question is, are you the V5C holder and if so, is the address up-to-date ?

is there some text on that first bit in any legistlation I can copy and past in my appeal?!

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Tower hamlets PCN 33H - using a restricted route for buses and cycles only

Which TWO signs are these?  I see only one in the vid, and that one quite high, presumably to enable visibility of the 20mph restriction which was originally on a post directly beside it in 2024, and which they moved back.
The post on the right with the "unicycle" attached to it, is the original post that the RH sign was attached to in the OP's gsv photo. You can see a yellow blip next to it on the DYLs in the vid and in that GSV.
I wondered why the vid doesn't show the RH sign, can only assume it did when the camera was installed, but it is not there anymore.
Would be good to get a recent pic showing it missing, or perhaps moved, but showing the unicycle post and it's relevant position to the other posts

IMO, the issue of substance here is the penalty i.e. code 19 (invalid permit) carries a lower penalty than code 12.

What is the council's policy - and it's this which binds the actions of the CEO- as regards the period during which they consider a permit to be 'invalid'?

It's water under the bridge to elicit this at the informal stage but you could at least find out.

Too clever/silly?

At the time of the alleged offence I was travelling to Miami Crispy, a restaurant located at 2 Claybury Broadway, Ilford IG5 0LQ.

My journey was to travel along the A1400 Woodford Avenue and then turn left on Clayhall Avenue.A final right turn onto Claybury Broadway would get me to my delicious destination.

Unfortunately, upon my right turn onto Claybury Broadway, I was greeted with a closed road. My only option, as you can see in the video was to sort or reverse/swing the car around. I then proceeded back  onto the A1400 to access the restaurant from a different direction.

Some people are born making poor driving choices others have them thrust upon them. This is very much a case of the latter and as such I respectfully request that the pcn is voided. I have proof of the visit to Miami Crispy by way of evidence. If you happen to be in the area, I can recommend the wings.

Private parking tickets / Re: Met Parking PCN - Didn't register - Vale Farm Sports Centre, Wembley

Posting this in case it helps anyone else.

I made the appeal using the template on Money Saving Expert Private Parking FAQs with some additional grounds:

tl;dr they upheld the charge but reduced it to £20. It wasn't worth the risk or spending time on further appeal to POPLA, so we paid it.

Thanks all for your advice.
