       Send it and do not wait. I would make a formal complaint too.
       [/quote]
       Ok thanks, last night I have sent the response similar to your
       draft and also the representations with relevant photos,
       screenshots.
       Sorry for my lack of knowledge here how would I make a formal
       complaint?
       Here is my email regarding premature issuing of Charge
       Certificate sent to LB Redbridge yesterday:
       Dear LB Redbridge:
       I acknowledge receipt of the Charge Certificate pertaining to
       PCN ..... VRM ......
       The date of the PCN is November 14th 2024.  Therefore, the
       deemed date of service is November 18th. Clearly, you have
       prematurely issued a Charge Certificate. It follows that the
       earliest you may serve such a document is 15th December. I also
       note that this is par for the course as you have recently lost a
       case on the same issue.
       Therefore, please cancel the Charge Certificate so that I may
       make formal representations to which I am entitled according to
       the statutory process.
       This is not a matter for discretion - rather a matter of
       statutory compliance.
       Yours,
       Here is their response received this morning:

       Subject: Representations AF3....... (tried to submit this via
       website on 15th Dec)
       Dear Sir Madam,
       I am writing to formally challenge the Penalty Charge Notice
       (PCN) number AF...... issued to myself for allegedly failing to
       comply with traffic restrictions on Cleveland Rd, Ilford IG1. I
       believe that this charge has been unfairly issued and wish to
       present my case for your consideration.
       Firstly the sign indicating the restriction against traffic is
       not of the 'hinged' type that should be only visible during
       School Term Time. This type of sign has not received
       authorisation as suitable signage to traffic outside of the
       School zone, from the Department of Transport, rending the PCN
       here null and void.
       Secondly when attempting to make an online representation
       against this PCN, the website fetters discretion with regards to
       the grounds allowed. The LB Redbridge website indicates which
       grounds will not be considered here, and a public body should
       not adopt such a rigid policy that prevents it from exercising
       discretion in individual cases. I attach screenshots from the LB
       Redbridge website.
       Finally the online representation page fetters to only one
       ground only for representation. Again this is unfair and does
       not allow for proper consideration of the possible grounds for a
       PCN to be contested. I also attach screenshots from the LB
       Redbridge website.
       I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
       Kind regards,
       Hope its clear and sorry for long post. Can break it down if
       helps. As always any assistance gratefully received

       Soryy was a long post previously maybe difficult to follow.
       I went to put in representations but couldnt do so.
       Forum members here believe LB Redbridge have prematurely issued
       the Charge Certificate before time was up. including
       [member=24]Hippocrates[/member]
       I then emailed LB Redbridge stating this and that I have been
       prevented from putting in representations.
       I then emailed them my representations anyway.
       This was last week.
       They have replied asking did I receive the PCN (see below for
       initial email and their response)
       Dear LB Redbridge,
       I acknowledge receipt of the Charge Certificate pertaining to
       PCN AF30026923 VRM CV61XUX
       The date of the PCN is November 14th 2024.  Therefore, the

       Why they are asking about recipt of the PCN, when it is a postal
       PCN and you have already submitted reps against it is beyond me.
       However we know the intellectual level of staff in these
       enforcement offices is not high.
       So you need to email back that you received the postal PCN and
       submitted reps but received no response, and that the CC was the
       next document you received after the PCN.
       Enclose copies of all to and fro messages

       I didnt submit reps. I was advised to hold till last minute. I
       went to submit within the timeline that I was advised was ok,
       and the online website wouldnt allow me too.
       Hence my email in prior post, and their reply.
       I also at the same time of sending the email above, sent in reps
       to the same email address.
       Hope that makes sense?

       DO NOT PAY THIS!
       As stated by other posters, they have messed this up badly, if
       you follow the process then you'll have nothing to pay and a
       decent change of getting an apology and compensation for time
       wasted.
       Others will be along to advise you on what to do to get this
       infront of someone who understands how badly they have messed
       up... but paying is definitely not the right move, you'd lose
       your chance to appeal as well as being out of pocket!
