Hello everyone! Here I'm again with the response from the
council. As someone here suspected one PCN was cancelled and
the other one not. The one with car impounded was not. I will
attach their response.
Really grateful for any suggestions for next steps.

Those letters are a joke and deserving of a complaint. Hard to
believe they are admitting to acting before putting up signage.
They say they warned you about missing/vandalised signs (did
they?) - fair enough but they've not put the signs up!
The accepted one makes no sense.
First you'll need to register a tribunal hearing for the
outstanding PCN and tow.
Where are you parking now - they will put signs up and tow you
again if you're not careful. Are they offering permits?

[member=2249]stamfordman[/member] , at the moment I park at my
mother in law, there are no signs even today, and never where
since I've moved there.
But anyway, I was able to make resident resident parking, I'm
guessing that I will be fined again most certainly.
They didn't warn me, even the cancelled PCN I didn't find it on
my car, just recived the letter in post. I was unaware of that.
I live in a council estate next to a school and I suspect maybe
children played a joke and removed it from the car. They have a
gathering spot very near the parking lots.
Dare to ask, please, anyone aviable to help me further with the
outstanding tow tribunal hearing thing?
Thank you.

I'll help you prepare the appeal but hopefully someone will
offer to represent you.
Seems to me by accepting one the other falls anyway although
what they mean by 'important information about the case cannot
be retrieved' looks like nonsense. But the rejection of the tow
PCN opens them up to costs in my view.

We've seen it before, recently, for another case they couldn't
possibly win.
It raises questions that indeed should be asked.
I've just seen it again, in a thread by 'never paying', first
page on here.

Current thinking is that you only need to register an appeal (do
it online as it helps you keep track of it) Always ask for a
peronal hearing, NOT a postal decision.
Just say 'I rely on my formal representations and any other
matters that may arise'.
Then we just sit back and wait to see if they contest. If they
do their case summary normally provides some extra ammunition.
If they contest and you don't feel prepared you can always ask
for a postponement.
It's very unlikely I'll be available as I have imminent major
surgery coming up.
You might message cp8759 or Mr Mustard to see if either have
space to help.

Here I am. I have history with Newham and vandalised signs.
Please email the complete Notice of Rejection letter ( nothing
hidden, I don't need the form) to mrmustard@ zoho.com

The signs aren't vandalised - they turned these parts of the
estate into a CPZ from PPAs and failed to put in yellow lines,
bays and bay signs in keeping with a CPZ. They've victimised the
OP as though it is all in order.
Both rejections are tantamount to public malfeasance in my view.
I'll be surprised if they dare to contest this.

[member=2249]stamfordman[/member] , nothing surprises me with
newham council anymore. It is by far number one in given fines.
