Hello everyone. I am a new member and I need help with that case

 

I have visited one of my friend houses in new ham (Gwendoline avenue E13) on 9th August 2013. I did use visitor parking permit card to park the car, which issued by Newham Council. I have been using these permit ages and never had a problem.

 

When I came out from my friend house I found the ticket on the windscreen.

 

The reason given for the PCN was –

 

[Contravention code 19, parked in a residents or shared used parking place or zone either displaying an invalid permit or voucher or pay and display ticket, or after the expiry of paid for time]

 

I contacted with them over the phone to know the specific reason for PCN they said I have overwritten the time that’s why they have given me a PCN.I explain to them if I overwritten the Permit card how vehicle registration number, date and year remain same. The person inform informed me in this case you need to appeal against them within 14 days time.

 

I am going to challenge the PCN.Could you help me what point should I include with my letter.

Why is it scribbled out like that?

 

I think he has just hidden his VRM. Would have been better though if OP hadn't marked the voucher in any way before his appeal. Looks like it has been tampered with now so that alone might screw his appeal. :(

Oh, I see. So the original problem is just that the "8" looks "overwritten"?

 

They should (hopefully) have a photo of it in the car, so they can see how it was.

 

I think in terms of an appeal, the best thing to do is deny that it was overwritten. Just say that it's written heavily, which is not a contravention, and ask rhetorically what number is could have possibly been if it was amended as they say.

yes you are right "8" looks "overwritten" and they said from the the picture number looks like "7".

That's hard to accept. If it was a 7 originally, the pen line would have to be entirely under the 8, and none of it is poking out - I can't imagine a 7 being shaped that way. If it were me, I would fight it all the way.

It should not matter if the time looks overwritten. The permit is valid until midnight regardless of the time of arrival. So long as the date was set correctly and midnight for that date had not yet been reached then surely the permit was valid? According to the signage the restriction ends at 6:30pm so the permit being valid until midnight is a nonsense.
