G24 Final notice, no initial letter received Homebase RM7
DIR By: pjoh10325
Date: March 1, 2025, 10:26 am
---------------------------------------------------------
This final notice letter dated 24th February 2025 was received
on 27th February. This is the first letter received from G24.
It states the discounted charge period and chance to appeal
period have been missed.
CPCN issued for 'Exceeding the maximum duration of stay
permitted at Homebase, Davidson Way, Romford, Essex, RM7 0AJ'.
The duration of stay was exceeded, however the driver was in
Homebase the whole time and has receipts to prove they were a
customer on that day. Many items were purchased and it took a
long time for the cashier to deal with the transaction.
The driver did mention to the Homebase colleagues about the time
limit for parking and was advised it would be okay as they are a
customer.
Please advise what is the best way to go forward on the 2
issues:
1. Did not receive the original letter advising of CPCN
2. Do I still have the right to appeal
Thank you for assistance.

As an aside, the first thing I always advise if a letter has not
arrived as expected is to get out your vehicle's V5C document
and check the address is correct.
Before we get onto the matter of attempting any appeals, the
first thing you should do (as the keeper, no need to say who was
driving) is to go to the Homebase, receipts in hand, and speak
to the manager and ask them to intervene.

Plan A should be to contact Homebase and try to get them to
cancel the charge.
The PCN does not appear to be POFA compliant (they haven't even
tried!) so they will be unable to transfer liability to the
keeper (although they will no doubt try that). Even if it got
as far as a court claim it should be dismissed. Are you the
registered keeper (not on lease or something?) and is the
address on the V5 correct?

We haven't seen the PCN as the OP hasn't received it. What we
have seen is a reminder notice.

Thank you for your replies. Sorry for my late response, I am
new to the site and just trying to work out how it works.
I am the registered keeper of the vehicle and the V5C is in my
address.
Re Plan A:
Unfortunately I am unable to ask Homebase management to
intervene as they closed down on 18 January 2025.

Homebase as a company still exist. Try to get in touch with
their management.

I have tried to contact Homebase management to ask them to
intervene. Website states any queries on purchases prior to 7pm
on 20 January 2025 should be directed to (homebase@teneo.com) I
sent an email to them on Monday morning but have not received
any acknowledgement - not an automatic response or specific
response.
Not sure how long to wait as I realise I need to allow enough
time to take any other action before things escalate.
Regards

I think Teneo is a consultancy firm handling the Homebase
administration, they might not be very interested in helping,
plan A may not be an option this time.
