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.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
