The reader might think that Newham Council have cheated themselves in this type of case rather than be the cheat but they are 100% in control of the sum demanded. Paying on line gives the council complete control over the amount that can be paid, you cannot for example pay £110 on line if the PCN has advanced to the £165 stage, except by posting in a cheque and that won't stop the process whereas paying on line usually does.
This is not the only case in which £1 has appeared. In another case, which might appear later, Newham Council denied that it was possible for their system to demand the incorrect sum but of course sensible motorists have taken screen shots of the error and the usual band of experts knew of the glitch.
What was cheating was to object to the settlement that Newham Council had themselves offered, which had been accepted, and put the motorist through the tribunal system.
