Havering Council - 3 errors in one PCN file

 Here is a brain teaser Mr Mustard found on the internet.

The answer is at the end of this blog.

He did find three errors in Havering's PCN processing without too much effort and there may have been more that it would have been otiose to mention.

You may not have thought about this much but here are two tips from Mr Mustard.

Tip 1: If you move home you have to tell DVLA twice about your move, once for your driving licence and again for your vehicle (more than once if you have more than one vehicle).

Mr Mustard thinks that the DVLA website does now nudge you to do both and you can create an account which puts everything together. 

Tip 2: If you move home you need to tell every enforcement authority which has a live PCN file as DVLA do not tell them of any change of address.

This blog concerns a PCN issue in October 2022 and Mr Mustard had to be as sticky as ever in order to finally see the PCN completed in May 2024. His client had moved at least twice in that time which never helps one to keep on top of paperwork.

Havering Council made three absolutely schoolboy errors (presumably schoolgirls are perfect?) which Mr Mustard laid out for them in his email of 29 April 2024

Mr Mustard made his own error hitting the m key instead of the adjacent comma

It only took two weeks and Havering quietly threw in the towel:

Readers will note the complete absence of any apology. 

Manners! 

Non-existent a lot of the time in parking departments.

Now, the answer to the little teaser:

The end.
