Lon. Bor.Havering PCN for Non display blue badge. Appealed now
received Charge certificate .

Hi. I received a PCN on car windscreen back in June for non
display of blue badge in a disabled bay in car park.
I appealed this online on grounds that badge was on dash
obscured by time clock card placed in error on top of blue
badge.
I laid out the extenuating circumstances...91 yr old mother law
mistakenly placed the clock over her badge etc etc and provided
time stamped photos to verify badge was in car on the afternoon
in question etc.
Appeal was rejected by email on July 31st. I waited as advised
until notice to owner was received in post on 29th August and
made further representations with signed statement from mother
in law etc. This I did online within the 28 days on 22nd
September and I received email acknowledgement of my submission
on the same date (22/09/25). (Screen capture of same included
below)
Today I received a charge certificate for non reply to previous
communications and/or non payment of PCN. The demand is now for
£210. (Images of all correspondence and original PCN below.)
This can't be correct as I have received no further notification
from LBH since September 22.
How should I best proceed?

Wait.

There's nothing unique or pressing about your situation.
Please read the above and come back with any questions.

I'm just returning to this as I had expected to receive
something in the post by now. 3 months since I received the
charge certificate from London borough of Havering and assumed
an order for recovery would have been made by the court before
now. Any ideas?

Havering's site still shows the PCN at £210 so they've not
registered the debt yet. We do recommend keeping an eye on this
as you don't want to miss the order for recovery, and you cana
lso do this by calling the Traffic Enforcement Centre.
As for the PCN, I think you end up paying £140 as they haven't
used discretion and the BB is clearly obscured. But the signage
looks odd with two signs and bleached out disabled sign but the
road legend is there.

Thanks for the response. I did call them as you suggested. Debt
still not registered and I just need to keep checking as there
is no time limit. I got the charge certificate on basis I'd done
nothing but I had responded online after my initial appeal was
refused and received an email receipt for that 2nd appeal. My
intention was to go to the tribunal on basis the disabled badge
was obscured but there on the dash and there were extenuating
circumstances ie. Two 90 plus ladies with mobility issues that
needed help on the day! Just don't want the bailiffs to suddenly
turn up unannounced. Relying on post to send important info
isn't acceptable imo as they have my email and that should be
used as well.
Thanks for your help.

Just to follow up on this. Charge certificate sent 03/12/2025 as
of 04/07/2026 (7 months) its still not registered at TEC. Is
there really no time limit on this. ie. Can they suddenly
resurrect the process and get an order for recovery in 2027 as
if nothing is out of the ordinary? I only ask as I find the
prospect of calling TEC weekly for x number of years a bit
daunting. Thanks.

Just check the payment page on Havering's site say every 2 weeks
for when it goes to £220. No need to call TEC.
This case suggests they have a backlog.

arising out of Penalty Charge Notices issued for the same
contravention, by the same vehicle, at the same location, on
different occasions.
A contravention can occur if a vehicle is driven so as to fail
to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian
zone.
The events occurred in January 2023. It is now July 2026, some
three and a half years later.
Whatever the reason for such delay, it is not reasonable or just
to expect a motorist to recall the details of a driving event
after so long a dely.
Accordingly, this appeal must be allowed.

Whoah! 3 and a half years! No wonder Havering is bankrupt. Ok
thanks for that. I'll go on their site and settle in for the
long haul. 🤦🏻
