You can usually find the name(s) of your councillors on the
council website. It's important you set the scene that gave rise
to the PCs. Strangers to London (or even the UK), keen to do the
right thing etc, but told the wrong thing by council so got four
more PCNs which you consider is unfair and also disproportionate

Thanks Incandescent - I've found our three councillors online.
Given the 14 day "discount" period is nearly up, would you
recommend appealing to the Tribunal as well as contacting the
councillors?
Also, do you think there is any 'goodwill" argument to paying
the first PCN given we don't appear to have strong arguments to
challenge this one (unless you can see any)?
Did you have any further guidance / thoughts on their responses
to the other four PCNs after taking a look at the documents I
uploaded, or is what you have shared to date our best bet?

Go to London Tribunals, but I do realise this means the full
penalties are in play, but I think you should win because you
were not given correct information by the council. Also tell
your councillors what has happened, and you consider the PCNs
should have been cancelled in view of the council false
information you were given

Thanks Incandescent, we'll look at taking this approach. I'll
also post an update here.
Do you think it would add weight to our position to pay the
first PCN (before the Council's incorrect advice)? I assume we
have limited (to no) ability to challenge that one?

Yes, no point in flogging a dead horse !, but the other 4 PCNs
should be cancelled, as you relied on council advice re permits.
I think you need to emphasise you are not UK citizens and have
found the situation with the four PCNs after receiving what you
took to be the correct permit to buy, as very disturbing bearing
in mind each PCN is for a large amount of money and is a direct
result of bad council advice.
