PCN Waltham Forest - 12S Parked in a resident bay without permit
DIR By: S.M
Date: August 15, 2026, 12:41 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
All,
I`m willing to fight this to the end. This is in relation to a
PCN I received from Waltham forest - I will create a timeline
below.
15th June - WF sent email to say a new permit system would be
put in place mipermit on 1st july.Everyone should be migrated by
1st July.
2nd July - Still did not receive migration email.
3rd July - received migration email
21st July - WF sent email saying things could have been smoother
including sending details on how to book visitor permits but
failing to give proper details on how to actually book the
permit.
21st July - Called WF so that they can transfer my permit to my
new car. They confirmed it has been transferred but turns out
that this was only done for School Street permit and not the
actual resident permit.
22nd July - Received PCN
31st July - Sent appeal to WF via email.
12th August - WF Rejected the appeal without even considering
the mitigating circumstances regarding the parking permit
situation.
Please note since the PCN a parking permit was applied correctly
If I go all the way to tribunal, I would like to use the
following points for my defence :-
- The customer service line was ultra busy and had staff from a
3rd party company who did not have access to everything.
- When I called on 21st July - they mentioned that my resident
permit has been updated with my new car reg but that wasn`t the
case as only the school permit was applied.
- WF failed to properly inform people how to buy resident permit
even in the email they sent, my zone is GM and on the new app
you should type VPGM.
- The app was showing my correct location but I couldn`t select
my zone as the "nearest zone" according to the app was several
miles away in a different borough.
- I am not a new resident and I already had a permit, all WF had
to do was change the registration for the permit.
Thoughts, please.

I would persist with this one, because it is clear WF made a
cock-up implementing this new system, and therefore cannot then
benefit from it this way.
