TFL issue PCN 5 months after alleged contravention

[soldier786]

Evening guys and Merry Xmas

on a pleasant December afternoon I received a letter from TFL (PCN attached below) dated 14/12/2015

for an offence that apparently took place on 29/07/2015 in Stamford Hill (Hackney).

Contravention: 46: Stopped where prohibited (on a red route or clearway).

 

The PCN further goes on to say that...

 

The PCN was served by post because a Civil enforcement officer 'T' observed the vehicle identified above from 11:11 to 11.11

and had begun to prepare a PCN but the vehicle concerned was driven away from the place in which it was stationary

before the CEO had finished preparing the PCN or served it by fixing it to the vehicle or giving it to the person appearing to be in charge of the vehicle.

 

I live in Hackney and Stamford Hill is quite a long road.

I can't recall this taking place and neither can my brother who is the 2nd named driver on my vehicle.

As far as I am concerned the contravention did not occur.

 

 

I called TFL soon after receiving the PCN to enquire.

I asked the exact location of this contravention, but they did not have this information on them.

I then asked if they had any pictures to jog my memory.

However, I was informed that TFL did not have any evidence/pictures to prove this

as I allegedly drove away before the the CEO could take pictures.

 

What's the best line of defence against this PCN?

Attachment is too small to read, you need to upload it as a PDF, however, if you can't remember, and they have no evidence then I can't see how they're thinking of making a profit out of you?
