2 x PCN received from LB Havering

Hi,
I went to pick up my niece from Old Church Hospital a week after she had a spinal op, we was told to pick her up from the discharge container which is around the back, never having been to this pick up point before or even knowing it was there, we missed the turning (it was dark and when we looked down the road, we see all the ambulances parked up so presumed it was not that one), once missed we had no other option but to continue into what I have just found out (never realised at the time) was into the bus and cycle section, the turning we should of taken was just before it with no room to turn around, as soon as i entered it I was able to turn around. I have now received 2 PCN notices, the first one showing me entering at 16.40pm and the second PCN of me leaving it at 16.41.
I have a reduced charge of 80.00 each, i received the letter today 20/11/25 but the letter is dated 14/11/25.
Although i think it is unfair to have this bus section right by the road we missed we had no other option but to carry on.
Does anyone know if i could make a representation on of the 16.41 PCN due already being charged for it on the 16.40PCN, if i did do a representation and loose, would i still be able to pay the discount price
Thank you for any advice

Just for clarity, it isn't Oldchurch hospital as that went many years ago and was on a different site- the hospital with the bus lane you describe is Queens Hospital.
