Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours

[blooo]

Hi

 

I received a PCN for parking in a single yellow line in a CPZ. I was unloading some heavy stuff from my boot and there was no nearby car park and I wasn't parked there for long.

 

Also, the PCN is not printed well you can't even see the PCN number clearly because it seems the printer wasn't working well/ink low.

 

Could you please advise me if I have a case.

 

I will try attach pics asap

 

Thanks

This is the PCN:

I hope it works

Can you decipher the PCN number? If not, you may have a case based on that. Otherwise, you can always appeal stating that you were unloading. If you have any documentation to support this (eg a receipt for goods you'd just purchased and were unloading) than include a copy.

Thanks Jamberson

 

As you can see from the image, I have only blanked out the second half of the PCN number as I cannot read anything beyond the first letter then the bit I have blanked out so there is at least 3/4 characters of the PCN ref that are not printed. Is this alone enough to have it cancelled?

 

As I do not have any receipts, I was simply unloading and picking up some stuff for a friend. So no receipts as such. Without a receipt what do you think....?

 

Please advise

 

Thanks

Also you cannot see some of the the other details, as you can see from the scanned PCN.

 

I am just not sure that having no proof of unloading stuff is this mandatory to supply? it was only about 10-15 mins I had stopped there.

 

Thanks

You don't have to provide anything in support of an appeal for unloading - it's just that it strengthens your case as it's more than just your word.

 

As for the PCN number, I am sure it needs to be stated, but it should be on the payment slip as well. I remember the question of whether the payment slip constitutes part of the PCN was the subject of an adjudication ruling some years ago, but I don't remember the outcome.

 

Anyway, worth an appeal on both fronts. Unloading exemption and lack of PCN number.

The payment slip was held NOT to be part of the PCN

So, he could argue that the PCN number is not stated on the PCN. Isn't that a sure-fire win on appeal?

Could we see the rest of the PCN?
