Yes multiple notices... I have received, from southwark council, in the last week demands (x3!) that I pay an ?80 fine for having parked illegally. Yes I know I am stupid, and comments to this effect are not what I'm really looking for... The thing is I've never received the original notices which gets stuck onto the car, if. Had I would have paid them as I did with another one during the same month. So is someone removing these from my car? Has anyone else any experience of this?


I've appealed one so far and will appeal the others too but just wondered whether this is an isolated thing or more generic?


Thanks

We got a huge fine a few years ago because Southwark Council had apparently send us multiple reminders which we never got... My hunch at the time was that those letters had never been sent to us in the first place but I could not prove it. I was heavily pregnant at the time so paid up when I eventually got a letter through the post. Had I not been, I would have looked into it a bit more closely.

What stage are the notices at? You can file Out of Times for each one via Traffic Enforcement Centre where you state that you never received the original notices. Look on the Consumer Action Group website for lots of helpful information.

You need to ask for photographic evidence. No photo no payment...if you appeal you will win if this is the case but may win if they do have a photo. Seems strange not receiving them but stranger someone pinching them. Mind you kids put chewing gum on my car the other day...what fun they have at our expense :(
^ That happened to me years ago. I got three or four PCNs in the post about parking infractions that took place while I was either asleep or quite decisively housebound with baby triplets. I phoned up and rather rattily told them this and oddly enough, my word was accepted without question.
