Council PCN dispute

Hi, I need some advice/help and knew this would be the place to come.

I received a parking fine from the council in December as my permit had expired and I didn’t realise. Now I know that the council doesn’t have to send out reminders and I have been through their t and c’s but this is something they usually do but didn’t this time. Being Christmas I wasn’t really thinking about my permit expiring.

I argued the case but they rejected it. I went back and they said that they couldn’t (wouldn’t as it turns out) do anything else until a NTK has been sent.

I argued the case again but gave them the evidence of my email inbox. I also quoted the transport act regarding being fair but they still claim that the reminders were sent out along with dates which I still dispute because a reminder has never ever gone in my junk folder and I’ve always paid on time. They have made an offer to pay the lower fine within 14 days but not to cancel.

What can I do now before it gets too deep financially?

I have seen online something similar happen a few years ago.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, the correct forum for council matters like yours is the FTLA parking forum website, study their posting requirements first , good luck

I’ve signed up but really I need to look at it on a computer and not my phone which I’ll do at work tomorrow. Thanks for the advice
