multiple PCN & towing (TOWER HAMLETS)
Options
hello
I would be most grateful for advice on my problem please:
on 23 october I parked my car in the usual parking space (street) in Tower Hamlets Borough for which I hold a business parking permit. I had it renewed in august and it was still only placed rather than stuck in the front window. however, the days leading up to the 23rd, I had various visits to garages for MOT, servicing and tyre replacements. as a result for some reason the parking permit was on the floor rather than in the window, i.e. not displayed where should be.
I left the car at the parking space on monday morning, then decided to take public transport back home as I was not near my work place around work finishing time. I ended up falling sick with a cold and stayed at home that week, when I returned to the parking space on friday I found my car had been towed.
I made my way to the car pound, paid the £240 fee along with 1x PCN £65 and collected the car. in the car window I found 4x more PCNs, £65 each.
I challenged all these. a few days ago I heard back:
1x PCN was canceled (for the 25th - so right in the middle of the week, i.e. not day 1)
the rest were not.
neither was the towing charge.
I would like to make a representation - however, should it be unsuccessful, the full amount will be payable, which is £130 per PCN. I cannot even try out if it would be successful with one representation as I only have 10 days left to do so.
my question to those of you very familiar with this, is:
does the fact that 1x PCN was canceled justify a representation? i.e. if Tower Hamlets were ok to cancel one PCN, and the other PCNs were issued for the same offence, does it give me ground to argue their rejection of my challenges?
I would greatly appreciate any knowledgable advice on this. needless to say I am up against time here! and the amount payable is just ridiculous give the fact that I do hold a valid parking permit for this parking bay. how can the council justify asking for this amount of money
thanks so much.
