Re: PCN issued by Havering council - entering in the road on

Dated 30th June, so served out-of-time according to Tincome's
calculation.
As I understand it, Havering traffic and parking enforcement are
in a state of utter chaos at the moment. Can this be a result of
them not re-offering the discount when rejecting reps ? By not
doing this, it them becomes a total no-brainer to take them all
the way to London Tribunals. If lots of people now take them to
LT, their resources are likely under some pressure, and serve
them right !

It's a PCN, so you have a discount option of 50% of the penalty
if paid within 14 days. If you do this, the case is closed and
no representations can be accepted.
If you submit representations within that 14 days, Havering will
not re-offer the discount when rejecting them. They are the only
London council that does this, all the others re-offer the
discount when rejecting representations received within the
discount period. However, by not reoffering the discount, it
becomes a complete and total no-brainer to then register an
appeal at London Tribunals because the penalty remains the same
and there are no additional costs whatsoever. And of course, if
you win you pay nothing.

Got the rejection letter on the basis of following appeal
To,
London borough Of Havering,
Highways,
Traffic and Parking,
Town Hall,
Main Road,
Romford,
RM1 3BB.
Subject:
Formal Appeal Against Penalty Charge Notice HG62581055 – Request
for both aspects i.e. Consideration of Exceptional Circumstances
and procedural impropriety to be reviewed. Kindly note there is
an additional evidence at the bottom of the this document.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to formally appeal against the above-mentioned
matter and to request that it be considered in light of the
exceptional circumstances outlined below.
We moved to the Upminster area on 30 October 2025. Please find
the tenancy contract attached as evidence. Following our move,
our landlady confirmed to us that our vehicle had been
registered for parking (see attached WhatsApp correspondence).
As this was our first experience with the virtual permit system,
we relied on this confirmation in good faith.
Unfortunately, shortly after moving in, it took us approximately
two weeks to settle due to ongoing issues at the property,
including severe condensation problems. During this period, we
did not receive any further communication from the landlady
regarding the virtual parking permit or any action required from
our side.
At the same time, our relationship with the landlady
deteriorated significantly. She began threatening us with
illegal eviction despite having received two months’ rent in
advance and all subsequent rent payments being made on time. As
a result of this conduct, a harassment case has been registered
with Havering Council (evidence attached). This situation caused
considerable stress and disruption to our family.
As we were no longer residing at our previous address, we were
unaware that correspondence from Havering Council had been sent
there. We only became aware of the situation when we later
visited our former residence and discovered several letters. Had
we been aware of these communications at an earlier stage, we
would have acted immediately.
Moving home is inherently stressful, particularly with children,
and our priority during this period was ensuring that they
settled properly into their new school while we continued to
meet our work commitments. Managing serious housing issues and
landlord harassment alongside these responsibilities was
overwhelming.
I respectfully submit that these circumstances were exceptional
and beyond our control. At no point was there any intention to
disregard the rules, and had we been informed or aware of the
requirements earlier, we would have taken prompt action.
I kindly ask that this appeal be considered with compassion and
discretion in light of the evidence provided.
The wording of the PCN in terms of the 28 days period is wrong
since it does not comply with Schedule 2 para.2 @
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/71/schedule/2
(d) that the penalty charge must be paid within the period of 28
days beginning with the date on which the alleged contravention
occurred.
In light of this procedural impropriety, I would like to request
for this PCN to be cancelled.
Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to
your response.
Yours faithfully,
