I stopped to pick someone up. I didn't leave the vehicle, however I was there for about 6minutes. I'll try and get a copy of the PCN on here for you to have a look at. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I have just received a PCN from Camden council for parking in Eversholt Street besides Euston station and could really do with any ideas as to how I can try and get out of paying the fine. Unfortunately I have made a really stupid mistake by seeing an area situated right outside the exit of the station, that allows cars to stay clear of any traffic whilst avoiding the main pavement. Despite noting the double yellows, I thought that it was an obvious pick up/drop off point for the station. I didn't notice any signs, but to be honest I didn't look out for them either. There was also another car parked there, so I just assumed I was ok where I was. Besides, if there was a problem I thought that a friendly traffic enforcement officer would just move me on. What I didn't realise was that I was being watched by a friendly CCTV camera and have swiftly received a PCN. I am really going to struggle to pay this within the next couple of weeks and desperately need to delay the fine. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. All the best, James
