Hi I have challenged my PCN and it was cancelled due to the timing issue. When i have raised the issue regarding the sign , they did not respond to that. The sign does not confirm with the TSRGD, and they claim that it does not need to as recent adjudication case it was up held. The best way to get your case dealt in a quick manner i will strongly advise you to write to the CHIEF EXECUTIVE, THE DIRECTORS, MAKE SURE YOUR CC YOUR COUNCILORS. If you are sending by post make sure you send it recorded delivery so that if they do not respond within certain time they will have to cancel the PCN. It addition you may need t write to DfT (DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT) and see if the sign are permitted. The Islington Council have confirmed in their letter that they do not have any approval from DfT

Hi I need some help. I have just received a PCN with Islington and I really need help to challenge this. The PCN was issued because the following alleged contravention 52JM Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle (motor vehicles) in Morris Place N4. I went back there to check, and the there is no sign at the entrance of Morris Place N4 that states No Motor vehicle, however just before the end o of the road there is a sign for no Motor vehicle and underneath the sign there is another sign that states except local buses. On the floor its states Left turn Only. Is there a way I can fight this PCN surely if they do not want any motor vehicle to turn left apart from buses they should put no left turn sign apart from local buses. Any help will be much appreciated as I need to respond before the 14 days.

Thank you verty much for your help - i will provide u more information and what the letter states

Hi Can someone please help me. I am minicab driver and I was allocated to pick up a disabled passenger. UKPC have provided a photographs showing me entering the vehicle and the passenger going in the vehicle. The contravention they claimed to have occurred was for “Vehicle parked on yellow lines/hatched area. The Place was definitely not hatched area. As Mini cabdriver we are even permitted to stop on the red route to alight and board passenger. The photograph they have provided does not show any dates or time. Can some please help what I need to do. I have checked their website and it states the following; http://ukpcappeals.co.uk/legal Do we really take people to court and win? Amateur lawyers posting on internet forums often advise people to ignore PCNs, claiming that they’re not enforceable by law. This is bad advice. In fact we take people to court every month and in most cases the judge finds in our favour, on the basis that: the PCN was issued correctly our signage was clear and properly displayed and the charge made was fair. In this case you would be issued with a county court judgement (CCJ) detailing the amount you need to pay us. Taking into account the original charge plus interest, legal expenses and costs, this usually works out in excess of £300. A CCJ could have a negative effect on your credit rating. Unless you pay it within one month and then pay an additional fee for the details to be removed from your records, the CCJ will remain on your credit file for six years. Each month 10-20 people receive CCJs from the civil courts after trying to avoid paying one of our parking charges. Here are a few recent examples: NameAmountReferenceConnell£314.599MA07347Koloko£307.249MA07109McDonald£293.669MA06846Mohanad£303.559MA07114Morgan£303.839MA07345Patel£308.889MA07329Pledge£303.959MA07107Tomlinson£303.709MA06847Zarafat£293.869MA07110Bailey-Edwards£304.769MA08392 Common defences and why they don't work The charge is unfair When we take them to court, people often claim that they decided not to pay the parking charge as they felt it was unfair. However, we have never had a case where the judge has accepted this argument. By parking at the site you indicated that you agreed to our terms, including the charges we’re entitled to make if you park in breach of the rules. I wasn’t driving the car This is a very common defence but a risky one. In many cases we’ll have photographic evidence to prove that you were the person who parked the car on-site. If you state in court that you weren’t driving the car but are found to be lying, this could be considered as perjury. This is defined as the deliberate, willful giving of false, misleading, or incomplete testimony under oath, and is a serious criminal offence.

Hi, can someone please assist me... I have current account with Halifax, Last week I checked my online statement it shows that I had £14.00, so I transferred £8 from Halifax saving account to the current account. This was done at night time. When I checked the statement it showed that I had sufficient funds. The next morning I went to Sportworld and I purchased goods for the amount of £12.48. 4 days later, I received a letter from Halifax telling me that I have used an authorised overdraft of £2.04, Therefore they are charging me £28which I have to pay by the 14/11/09 and then pay additional £35 on the 30/11/09 totalling the amount of £68.00. I went back to the back and paid the £2.04, and I spoke to one of the advisers and they told me that there was there was payment made to Asda (£6.89) and Tesco (£4.98), which resulted account to be overdrawn by £2.04.
