Parking Ticket Appeal / Deadline

[johnag007]

Dear all,

I received a parking ticket in Westminster (London) even though I paid and displayed a valid ticket, because I parked under a Pay By Text banner. Even after challenging Westminster Council and including the ticket, the still ruled it illegal (i.e. cash paid in a Westminster machine is NOT considered valid!!!).

My question is that they replied to my "informal challenge" as the Westminster site puts it over 3 weeks after my email challenge. I believe they have 14 days, am I correct?

As far as I understand, if the PCN is not paid after 28 days LA send out a Notice to Owner, even if they have rejected an informal approach. They will invite payment or explain how you make representation against the PCN which has to be submitted within 28 days of N2O. Still applies despite the fact that you have already made the informal approach. No submission in 28 days from receipt of N2O they can stop any further appeal.

They will either accept and cancel (and can take up to 3 months) to respond.

They can then issue a Notice of Rejection - pay or either take you case further to the Parking Adjudicator which will be explained on the NoR.

PA adjudicates either from written submission or personal hearing.

Take it to the Parking Adjudicator - there's lots of these cases going on at the moment.
The Pay & Display meters/booths should of all be covered up or removed and they weren't

Black and white case i would say

Fighting one with Southwark council at the moment as well - good luck !
