Harrow Camrose Avenue Bus Gate Westbound

I hope this is the correct place to post this.
On the night of Sunday 19th July I accidentally drove through
the Camrose Avenue bus gate.
I'll provide details in due course, but one thing I'm hoping one
of the regulars from this forum can answer...
Before receiving the PCN by post, I typed in my number plate to
the Harrow Council website and sure enough, it came up with an
image and video of the alleged contravention.
The strange this was that the field Payment Status was marked as
"Balance Paid" even though I haven't yet paid it.
What should I do?

Can you submit a challenge? Please don't as I am just asking.

I am able to click the button to challenge the PCN which then
leads me to a form to do so. Obviously I'm not going to do
anything just yet.
My thoughts are to wait for 7 days and see if a PCN arrives in
the post and keep checking the status online.

Are you sure about the date you drove through the bus gate,
because my calendar tells me it is the 23rd July today ?

Apologies, I drove through on the 19th July and have corrected
my initial post.

There has been a recent win at London Tribunals here (last
couple of days). This may explain their screen response to your
PCN.

Are you the keeper and is the V5C in your name.
Unlikely though a PCN would have already been sent to and paid
by a lease or rental firm.

Interesting and thank you for that!
That would have to be a huge win and bring into question the
entire bus gate restriction.
I've spent the past week reading the cases on here and the
BusGates website (thank you to the person who provided such a
detailed resource).
I have also fed 5 years worth of appeal decisions (approx 370)
into AI to work out my best chance of appeal that corresponds
with my own individual genuine circumstance. It came up with
some very interesting stats including the accept/reject rates of
individual adjudicators - not that we can choose who looks at
the appeal.

My wife is the keeper/owner and I am the other named driver on
the insurance policy.

I live near this thing. Lost many a hub cap to it over the
years!
