Hackney, Parking Restriction, Balmes Road
DIR By: bobhunduk
Date: December 2, 2025, 7:55 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Partial suspension of residents parking bay from 15th to 26th
September (of which I have a permit), but my car was parked in a
section that was not suspended which can clearly be seen in the
photos taken by the enforcement officer.
First PCN was issued on 18th September which I appealed and was
successful, PCN cancelled on 7th October.
During the time from the initial PCN being issued to the end of
the restriction, I left the PCN attached to my windscreen to try
to prevent additional tickets being issued. No additional
tickets were placed on my windscreen.
However, in early November I received 3 emails from my Car
Leasing company that they had paid 3 THREE additional PCN's at
the full rate for the 24th, 25th & 26th September! Hackney
Council state I cannot appeal as the PCN's have been paid and
therefore closed, despite me being unaware and having
irrefutable grounds that the PCN's were issued incorrectly.
Any recommendations on where to go from here?
Thanks, Bobby

What does your contract with the lease firm say about processing
PCNs. The issue is that they are not your PCNs as the company is
the keeper presumed owner.
No additional tickets were placed on my windscreen.
Did you check the car as windscreen PCNs would have been served
on the car. Someone may have removed them. Are you sure the PCNs
are for the same location?
Do you have the PCN numbers?

What is the car VRM.
They are wrong of course that PCNs can't be 'transferred' as
representations can be made to do so but it seems paying is
policy.
Notice to owners (NTOs) for windscreen PCNs are issued at the
full penalty and the discount may only be recovered by making
reps that are successful in that regard.

The photos for each PCN are still available.
I suggest you retrieve these and post here, specifically keep
together those which purportedly show service of each PCN..
..then we can play 'Spot the Difference'!
Also, where did this come from?
Hackney Council state I cannot appeal as the PCN's have been
paid and therefore closed,
Have you contacted them or simply quoted what's on their
website?

These are the windscreen pics of the three PCNs in order. We can
see some movement and possibly one under another but really only
one in view.
PCNs do go missing though.
The key is whether we can get these refunded to the lease
company or indirectly to the OP.
I expect admin fees were also charged?
