Southend 11 parked w/out payment

Hi,
The registered keeper of the vehicle received a Notice to Owner
regarding this contravention. It states that a PCN was issued by
a civil enforcement officer however there was no PCN on the car
at the alleged date of contravention.

Please set your link to 'public'. At the moment we cannot open
it.
PCNs going astray is commonplace, so appeals are not won on
that. It is the reason an NtO is sent to the owner, who has
legal responsibility for PCNs, (payment or appeal).

Are there any photos on the Council website showing the
contravention, could you confirm the reason for no payment being
made?

Yeah there are pictures of the car at the location and of the
signs, it's a parking area along the side of the road. There is
a picture with the PCN on but only one and as mentioned it
wasn't there later that day. Should I upload the images?
Honestly can't give a good reason for lack of payment, a lot of
stress lately with a bereavement and I'm not always functioning
at a good level.

Sounds like your best bet is a polite ask to settle at discount
as the PCN wasn't there when you returned to the car. At £25
this would be the lowest penalty in the UK.
You've blanked the VRM so we can't check the pics.

Assuming GSV is reasonably up-to-date, please post a GSV link to
the exact location, telling us where the car was parked.
At the moment, the CEO evidence is overwhelmingly in their
favour unless you can tell us more than you already have.
Forgetting to pay is not grounds for cancellation, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure what I can say. I use this parking 4 days most
weeks, even the week in question I used it before and after the
contravention and paid the other times. I'm not someone who
tries to avoid paying it really was a genuine mistake. I
regularly (every couple of months) get overcharged on parking
here and have to raise requests to have the overpayment refunded
most recent being mid June just after this took place.
