Re: City of London, Code 53 - Restriction on vehicles entering a
pedestrian zone, Old Broad Street x2

Neither applies, I remember this case being so confusing.
Either 1 of 2 things happened:
I submitted representations for the second PCN and they didn’t
acknowledge it
Or
I only submitted representations for the first PCN which they
acknowledged.
My thinking is that Since this was a grouped PCN, I must have
submitted reps for 1 of PCNs thinking they would apply to both,
but not individually, hence why i received a charge certificate
for PCN 2.

Look again at your reps. Did you list the two PCNs the subject
of the representations ? If you did, then you are in the clear
and they have cocked-up. If you didn't then it seems to be
game-over, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately the acknowledgment email doesn’t reference both
PCNs.
When you say game over, does that mean i have to pay? the full
amount shown on the letter, this is such a high amount, i don’t
have this kind of money :(

Firstly, its your reps we need to see, as they would have
mentioned two PCNs if you'd submitted reps covering them both.
Councils do make mistakes, so check.
Secondly, (on "game-over"), unless someone here comes up with a
"wizard wheeze", the amount can only go up. TEC registration
£10, then bailiffs, (1) compliance stage letter £75, and (2)
visit to premises £235. These are statutory amounts, BTW. Then,
if you don't pay, seizure of property, usually you car because
its easy to find and seize.
Why don't you contact CoL and explain what happened, and that
you are willing to pay the PCN, but the CC is a mistake on your
part as the PCN was supposed to be listed under your
representations. You never know, you might get a result.

Firstly thanks for all your help.
This is the reps which doesn’t mention second PCN:
Dear City of London, The contravention did not occur, as the
signage as a whole is inadequate under Regulation 18. The
evidence shows that only a single sign is positioned on the
left-hand side on Old Broad Street. The Department for Transport
guidance recommends that restrictions of this nature be signed
on both sides of the carriageway to ensure visibility. Kind
Regards
————
Lastly where would the best place to contact CoL? The council,
PCN department or?

I would think the same place you submitted your reps. YOu should
ask they pass your request on if they haven't the necessary
authority to deal with it.

It doesn't look good to me, either !
By submitting reps after you received the Charge Certificate,
the council were entitled to ignore them, so you would not
expect to receive a NoR. Did you get anything at all after
submitting these reps ?
For me I can't see a way out of this, but see what the others
say.
