informal reps made on 29th June;
"Dear Sir or Madam,
On-line challenge for JK19598383
On the grounds of:
The PCN exceeded the amount applicable
Further explanation :
Hello there, I wish to make representations relating to PCN
JK19598383, issued on 23rd June 2026 at 09.40
I was visiting name redacted at house number redacted Amelia
St., SE17 3AS on the day, he told me he had activated a parking
session
for my vehicle as he had also done on the previous day (22nd
June). However on this day he entered the wrong
VRN, LG69BXA instead of LG69BXF.
As a session had been paid for, albeit for the wrong vehicle,
the Council was not out-of-pocket financially on this
occasion. I was of the belief that a valid session was active
regarding my vehicle, especially as a valid session
was activated by name redacted the previous day, I would have
thought previous VRNs would show up on the software,
ready to be clicked on.
I feel I am being penalised, through no fault of my own, for an
honest mistake by another, and for an amount
which is disproportionate to the situation considering that the
council were already paid for parking.
I ask you to please look into cancelling the PCN this time.
Best Regards"

Hello all, first time on this site, but a frequent flier on
pepipoo.
So they think that the person I visited activated a pay by phone
parking session, but it was a visitor's permit.
Reading my reps I can see how they may have thought this, but
why they didn't check whether a permit was in place for the
wrong VRN on the day, and my VRN on the day before, is beyond
me.
Wondering whether to try and inform them of this by emailing the
parking team, as I cannot challenge again online

From street view the bays seems to be permit holders only and
not residents, and not shared use, so code 12 was wrong and
should have been code 16.
The rejection is silly if indeed it was a visitor's permit - do
you have the receipt/record?

Thanks Stamfordman, yes definitely an all day permit was bought,
for the wrong vehicle.
So the advice is to wait for the NtO and make reps on wrong pcn
code?
I just checked the website and it is still in discount stage.

Yes I am, and yes current DVLA.
I am on holiday though for about 3 weeks but can get a pic sent
of the NtO next week, if/when it arrives

OK. All pages pl, just delete personal info.
Their rejection is incoherent and IMO a procedural impropriety.
Whether they're required to send a written response(which
they're not) is not the point, it's that it's evidenced
incoherent and ultimately incorrect reasoning contrary to their
public law duty.
AND they've stated 'we are unable'. B******s. They're able(in
the legal sense of may) they're just incapable.

The NTO when you can.
Also, check their website to see if 'PCN Status' is shown. This
would enable you to check remotely at any time.
