code 27 PCN + car towed

[mike4321]

Hello all,

 

I recently got my car towed and paid £265 to get it back ( £200 tow fine and £65 for the PCN -Newham council )

 

I want to make an appeal but I am not sure what to say in the letter to improve my chances . Been reading forums for a couple of hours now and I`m confused.

 

There are no yellow lines where I parked and no parking restriction signs and I have honestly did not notice the lowered kerb.

 

Here is an image for the place in question taken off google street view: uploadpie.com/jkSoL

 

On what grounds could I possibly appeal?

 

I have not seen any images taken by the enforcement officer when the PCN was issued or when the car got towed.

 

Hope anyone can help.

 

Thank you!

Is there one on the opposite side of the road

Yes. A couple of them.

I thought just being parked by a dropped kerb was enough to get ticketed and towed. I don't think it needs any signs or marking. I'm sure ill be corrected shortly if I'm wrong.
