RBKC - Parked in suspended bay

Frankly, bang to rights on this one, so I'm not sure I can argue
my way out of it.
But I have a question re timescales, and how long the RBKC had
to respond.
Date of PCN 13/08/2025
Date of informal appeal 22/08/2025
Date of refusal to appeal 18/01/2026
Deadline for reduced payment 01/02/2026
Are they really allowed to take that long to get back to me?
Seems crazy. Is there some sort of procedural hole I can pick?

Sorry, but you'll have to tell us more for good advice. Please
read this and update your thread accordingly: -

Assuming the PCN was served under the Traffic Management Act
2004, there is no time limit for responding to an informal
challenge. There is, however, a limit on serving a Notice to
Owner, (the next stage), of 6 months from date of alleged
contravention. Do you own the car, and if so, is the address on
your V5C Registration Certificate up-to-date ?

I do not have my appeal at hand, unfortunately.

What an arrogant letter ! They explain their troubles with a
"cyber attack" then have the brass neck to say they will refund
your parking fee when the penalty is paid ! So refund you a
couple of quid whilst collecting £80 !!
If it were me I'd be registering an appeal now with London
Tribunals on the unconscionable delay in dealing with your
representations. However, it's your money, of course, and I
always respect an OP's decision.

The next stage is an NTO and they are close to timing out on the
6 month deadline so you could do nothing and see if they issue
it time.
If they do we can look at the details plus you have the point
about delay although there is no deadline apart from the 6
months to serve an NTO.

Ah yes, NtO stage, which I seem to have forgotten about ! At the
NtO stage they have to respond to reps within 56 days.
