I feel people should be aware of what is going on here. I have had a penalty charge notice (PCN) placed on my car on 15 December 2008. The reason for the charge was that my wheels were on the pavement. I appealed against this and lost and was given no explanation why other cars were not issued a PCN who were parked in a similar manner. I recvieved no reasonable explanation for this. After settling the fifty pound fine, I was sent a notice to owner saying I had parked in a similar manner on 27 November 2008 and that I owed them £150. I relpied to this letter return of post explaining there must have been some kind of mistake and that I have already paid the fine. The council then became addament that my car was parked oon this date, The PCN was not obviously issued properly, and I am not convinced it was issued at all to my car in November as I would have never parked in a similar manner if I had been issued a PCN properly. The Council used three different people to respond to my letters amking me feel outnumbered and they also implied that I would look for retribution to the Civil Enforcement Officer if they issued his/her name. I found that very offensive, Also I was made to feel I was trying to side step my responsibilities by not paying the fine. The fact of the matter is I never recieved the first PCN. I would never knowingly break the law and especially if it is going to cost me. Only a fool would do this, or a person with no respect for the law. I argued with Hounslow Council to see common sense, but they refused and I also wrote to my MP and Euro MEP and the MP helped a little and the MEP did nothing. It really apppears to me that the parking department in Hounslow Council are a law unto themselves and there is no way of getting common sense to make them see there was something awry with this case. I am now undergoing medication for the stress, anxiety and depression this whole incident has caused me as I really can't believe that this situation has gone this far. If I had of recieved the first PCN in November I would not have parked in a similar manner the following week. I was caught out even though I had been parking like that for several years before, and the Council can not tell me where I can and cannot park in a similar manner as I park in the area quite alot. I am so disgusted and disallusioned with this whole situation and really feel that no one is listening to me and no one really cares. If this is how the law works now then God help s all. This needs to change and I hope if you are reading this, then you may be able to help.
