  • London Borough of Havering (24 016 295)

    Statement Upheld Parking and other penalties 22-Apr-2025

    Summary: Miss X complained the Council took six weeks to respond to her request to pay a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) in instalments. Miss X says this meant she did not have the opportunity to pay the PCN at the discounted rate and it then issued the charge certificate further increasing the penalty by £65. The Council was not at fault for charging Miss X the full amount of the PCN as this was in line with its payment arrangement policy. The Council was at fault for issuing the charge certificate further increasing the fine before it responded to Miss X’s instalment request. This has caused distress, frustration and financial uncertainty. The Council has agreed to apologise and deduct the £65 from what is owed.

  • Lincolnshire County Council (24 016 792)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 22-Apr-2025

Other bodies are better placed to consider Mr X’s concerns about the Council’s corporate appointeeship for his mother. Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s interaction with him is late and there are no good reasons exercise discretion to accept this late complaint now.
