Best of luck bud, if you try and fail then at least you've done everything you can. We've all got experiences that stick in the throat unfortunately.
Help/advice. LEZ penalty charge.

Feel sorry for you but I fear you may have to pay it, even ask if it can be broken down into payments.
The one time I was done for a traffic violation was for speeding in a temporary restricted zone. I'd been travelling my usual B road route and joined the A road at a junction. The point where I joined the A road was within the temporary 40 MPH zone. Unfortunately the signage for it was a mile or two down the road from the point where I joined.
I recieved the fine through the post, well I accepted that I'd been speeding but also pointed out why I had done so in the letter back to them. I wish I hadn't though as as I'd questioned it I recieved a higher fine and extra points on my licence for my trouble. At this point I just kept my head down and paid. (Though it was a slight badge of honour as it's not every day that a clapped out old Landrover gets done for speeding. He you have to try an see a bright side).

Drafting the appeal today. I'll let you know how it goes.
I think we know how it will go.
Thanks all.

Good luck. Remember to avoid using phrases like "Thieving toe rags", "Shyster" and "Licensed highway robbery" they can be funny about stuff like that

Probably because they don't like hearing the truth.
It makes my blood boil reading things like this, yet another money making scam that will only affect people that the Govt. Gestapo know will tow the line and cough up

Aye. It feels great to get a positive result. Lots of research and advice from others around the country helped.
My appeal was based on the following;
It was my first time in the LEZ. This should result in a warning letter that states you will be fined NEXT time you enter LEZ
I was performing as a musician and needed to transport my equipment.
I focused my tone on acknowledgement and that a warning letter would have the desired effect in terms of enforcement.
Happy days!! 😎

Congratulations Malley,
Always good to hear a good news result and I must admit that it appears to be a fair outcome; I did think you were on a hiding to nothing at first.
An affirmative thank you letter as mentioned would be good as plus letters to bodies are taken note of and it may encourage them to be kind to others in the future so spreading your good fortune.
The company I used to work for paid close attention to to both types but it was great to hear nice stuff from folk.

Good for you Steve! And give us a shout if you're in Wimbledon again; that's just around the corner from here!

Will do Dave. I didn't realise that's where I'd be staying until late in the night in question. First time there. Seemed like a country village in the city?!!
Yes. A positive feedback e-mail will be sent today. As you say, it may be a way to influence future reviews/appeals. I would suggest these people rarely receive much in the way of positive feedback.
