Haringey - Contravention Code 16 - Parked in a permit space or
zone without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying

Hello and thank you in advance for all the help you are proving
via this forum.
I used a friend's car to collect a table from Argos which I was
dropping at home and returning the vehicle straight away.
Even though I do have visitor permits, already bought and
prepaid (screenshot attached), I did not activate one because I
was loading a heavy box and leaving straight away.
The whole process must took somewhere around 7-8 minutes, during
which, somehow I ended up with a ticket even though I checked
and there was no enforcement officer to be seen on the road.
I challenged the ticket sending proof of collection and purchase
showing the item and the time it was collected (attached) and
Haringey replied telling me that they still don't accept the
appeal.
The council claims that the CEO observed the car for over 5
minutes - this is quite impossible because when I came out he
had already attached the ticket on the car and i literally took
no more than 8 minutes.
It's also not proven by the evidence as the CEO has taken a
random picture at 14:13 which got nothing to do with the car?
I don't think it's fair and there is enough evidence to make
them see that this was a case of offloading and not a car parked
there and forgotten.
I have shared with them
The screenshot confirming the date and time of collection of the
tableThe email confirming my order showing my details and the
fact that it was a collection orderScreenshot from my already
pre-paid visitor parking permits showing that clearly when i
need them i use them and it's not a matter of negligence.
I wanted to ask for advice on whether you think this is a strong
case to go to the next stage of the appeal, and also if the next
stage fails, does that still increase its price to the full
£160?
Thank you very much.

Post the PCN as can't see in your folder.
Issue here is why weren't you in and out quickly if by the
house.

Hi [member=2249]stamfordman[/member]
Thank you for your response.
I have now added pictures of the ticket in the Google shared
folder.
I was in and out of the house, there was no space right in front
of the door but a few meters further up. I took the box out,
carried it slowly to the door, brought it up the stairs, left it
in the hallway and went back down.
I don't think the CEO observed the car for 5 minutes as the
council claimed, and the evidence doesn't support that either.
But loading/offloading a heavy and bulky item would take more
than 5 minutes anyway when you have to bring it up a staircase.
To me it seems like he saw the car and issued the PCN right
away.

Hi again,
I'm just aware that this is time sensitive and the discount will
run out soon.
I would be grateful for any suggestions/ideas/feedback.
Also, if I do decide to go to the adjudicator, in case he allows
the PCN, will the price be £160 at that stage or £80?
Many thanks again.

Adjudication is always for the full PCN penalty.
