Dear Sirs

Re PCN Number WM77019438

Once again, your operatives are ‘trying it on’ – in fact engaging in fraudulent practices. There was no Penalty Charge Notice issued in this case.  Anticipating this might happen, I made contemporaneous notes.

As a private hire driver I was awaiting my clients to emerge from the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Rooms on Vincent Square when the ‘Civil Enforcement Officer’ appeared at my side window to say, ” You’ve been here 8 minutes.  I can mail it to you ” .  I replied, “No,  it doesn’t work like that.  You would have to put the ticket on my windscreen.  I’ll be off now. ”  Whereupon,  I departed the scene  – at no point did he try to affix any parking ticket, nor attempt to hand me one.

The terms of your ‘How to Challenge’ documentation detail the somewhat draconian,  ” A person who knowingly or recklessly makes a false representation regarding a material fact is guilty of an offence and on summary conviction may be liable for a fine of up to £5,000.” Tell me, please,  why this should not apply to your deceitful traffic wardens ?

Yours faithfully,

Mr A.J.P. Summers
