PCN For parking without displaying a badge
DIR By: sugden

Hi, in January I received a PCN from West Northants Council for
parking without a valid ticket in on-street car parking.
I am a blue badge holder, and at the time I was attending an
emergency medical appointment due to my disability, the council
initially refused to overturn the charge, and later said they
would consider the case afresh once they get round to sending an
NTO, so time passed and I received no NTO and assumed that was
the end of it.
Until today after my car was clamped, I've had the debt
collecting agency unclamp it given that I am a blue badge
holder.
Whats happened is the DVLA appear to have mis input my address
into their system which I've never realised because I had always
received post at my address for the car, logbook tax reminders
etc. And for whatever reason this incident is the exception.
I have submitted a TE9 and TE7 but I dont know what argument to
make in terms of having the original charge thrown out. I
understand I should have displayed my disabled badge, but it was
an emergency medical appointment and in the sheer stress of the
situation it completely slipped my mind. Is there any specific
wording I can use?

All you can do is wait, other than posting what you've submitted
for us to review. *
At this stage, the whys and wherefores of the contravention are
not the issue, they might never be if TEC don't revoke the Order
for Recovery.
*- your actual address and the one held by DVLA and used by the
council. Just change critical data but illustrate the issue. TEC
will decide upon what you've already submitted.

The Te7 and TE9 are not for contesting the original PCN
contravention, but for stating why you didn't receive the
statutory documents. If accepted, the case will be reverted to
the Notice to Owner stage, the PCN is not cancelled.
On the TE7 you explain why you are requesting permission to
submit Out-of-Time.
