Re: Harrow Council parking ticket outside my home - going to
court ADVICE NEEDED!

Hi, I wondered if someone could advise on the process and any
tips and tricks when making this final appeal? From what is
written above do I have a case to at least try my luck? Also if
I lose are there any implications or do I still pay £140 and
that's the end of it?
Any input gratefully received.

All that is at risk at adjudication is the PCN penalty (£140).
There are no other costs, and no possibility of a CCJ.

Checking your car registration on the PCN shows it as a BMW 320,
so this would have been exported to Japan, who drive on the left
like us, and then, presumably, it has been imported to the UK
from Japan. The process to import would also have to include the
importer obtaining the relevant emissions data so that the
vehicle can be correctly placed for the VED level. Where did you
obtain this car from ?

I got the car from a private dealer. It had no UK registration
as it was from Japan and after registering it I had no emissions
info connected to the car...

OP, pl just slow down.
I am finding this account difficult.
The record of PCNs for RF63ZNE shows:
HR77160681 - 03/06/2025 - £140.00
HR76979057 - 07/05/2025 - PCN on hold
0681 shows a Res Permit for your VRM which expired on 19 Jan
2025.
We're not getting the full story.
I purchased RF63ZNE on ***** after which I parked this outside
my house using **** parking rights.
Neither GSV nor the council photos show the traffic sign which
applies.
Can we get back to basic facts pl.

Looks like this is your problem. The dealers who specialise in
these imports usually make sure they get the emissions stuff
done. I'm a Jaguar enthusiast and often see XJ saloons for sale
from Japan, with the emissions rating given. If they didn't do
this, they'd not be able to sell any cars in London.
Have you tried BMW UK ?

Is the permit you bought backdated to cover the days of the
PCNs.
Have you got anywhere wit reducing the permit cost.

The OP posted:
Anyway, as this [the ping-pong correspondence with the council]
went in for several weeks, and with very sporadic replies to
countless emails I sent, in the meantime I received two parking
fines for parking outside my own home without a valid parking
permit!
I appealed them but they were dismissed. I then bought the more
expensive permit[after 3 June]
But they were displaying a Res Permit in the vehicle in June(PCN
**0681) which expired in Jan!

If the permit is not backdated then the OP hasn't paid for a
permit for about 6 months so that's factor, that is if they've
had a car throughout.
May be best to try and pay one at discount and ask for
discretion on the second.
