Hello Group

I had a PCN served in the post from Havering (East London) for a 50r with a "Date of this Notice: 04 January 2018".

The "alleged" event occurred on 17/11/2017 and there is a photo of what looks like my car turning right, so quite a bit time has passed since the event occurred?

I have not tried to view the footage of the event as advised on the PCN on the Havering website.
I have attached the 4 pages of this PCN notice below.


The PCN states
1, i have14 days to pay a reduced penalty charge of £65
2, Or 28 days to pay £130.
3, Or challenge this PCN.


I am not local to Havering or East London and do not normally drive far or lot miles in a year, (not sure if this is any kind of reason to challenge the PCN or that I have disabilities). The road was quite at the time the

The PCN, threatens "A person who knowingly or recklessly makes a false representation regarding a material fact is guilty of an offense and on summary conviction may be liable for a fine of up to £5000", which is very off-putting and aggressive and appears twice in different forms in the PCN?

I would like to challenge the PCN and seek advice please on possible grounds?

Thank you for your help
Iain

Is the car registered to you and your home address?

If so, I get confused about time limits for various PCNs - someone else will advise.

PCN is rubbish; wrong periods for both payments (by 4 days!)

Iain.
That PCN is deemed (in law) to be 'served' 2 working days after posting. Sat/Sun are not working days.

Read it and tell me the deadlines for paying a) at discount and b) full rate ??

You can appeal on the basis that the PCN is served out of time but I think council has a defence if it asked DVLA for details within 14 days.

Only if they didn't get a DVLA response in time and since it's all done by direct link, virtually impossible.

The PCN was served by post with a "Date of this Notice: 04 (which was a Thursday) January 2018"

a) "A reduced charge of £65.00 is payable in the following
circumstances:
If the penalty charge is paid not later than the last day of
the period of 14 days beginning with the date on which this
notice was served, the penalty charge will be reduced by
50%."

b) "The penalty charge is £130.00
The penalty charge must be paid not later than the last day
of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which
this penalty charge notice is served."

I cannot find a definition on my PCN or a specified date when this "penalty charge notice is served" or is deemed to be served.
All i have on the PCN is the words "Date of this Notice: 04 January 2018"

Also
"The authority may disregard any representations received outside the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of the PCN."

"We will consider your representation and any supporting evidence, and serve a notice on you of our decision,
within the period of 56 days beginning with the date we recieve your representation..."

"If after the last day of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which this PCN is served no such representations have been made, and the penalty charge has not been paid, we may increase the penalty charge by 50% to £195.00....."

The PCN is issued under the LLA & TFL Act 2003. I can't find any limit of the serving of a PCN under this Act. Is it in regulations ?

Is it guidance rather than regulation? When I have time I will write a sticky doc that gets through the various PCN situations. The tribunal site(s) are good at saying what you must do but not what the EA must (or should under guidance) do.

I have dyslexia so comprehension is not my best skill

Hello Nell B

You said the "PCN is rubbish; wrong periods for both payments (by 4 days!)"
is that because i did not say (forgot to say) within 14 or 28 days of when the penalty notice is served in my original posting"
So giving me an extra 4 days to pay respond to the PCN.

So there is no longer a valid point of being 4 days out?

Thanks
iain

You are trying to second guess the point I'm making; don't, that's what's confusing you.

Ok, just one of the periods.
When is the last day you may pay at discount, according to the PCN ?

Just a date please - not an essay.

On the surface the PCN is served out of time, as per the regulation linked by nextdoor. It may be that one of the provisos that extend this time apply, but put the council to proof.

Also they use the term date of service. This is at best 2 days after the date of the notice, BUT the regulations use the date of notice. So if you pay or challenge on what you maty consider the 28th day you would be late and subject to an increased penalty.

This case had a PCN with only one of the periods wrong

2160496258

The appellant attended the hearing.
The issue of the appeal is the penalty amount.
The local authority has chosen to proceed under the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003.
Section 4(8) of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London act 2003 says that the penalty notice must state:
1 the grounds on which the council or, as the case may be, Transport for London believe that the penalty charge is payable with respect to the vehicle;
2 the amount of the penalty charge which is payable;
3 that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice;
4 that if the penalty charge is paid before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the date of the notice, the amount of the penalty charge will be reduced by the specified proportion;
5 that, if the penalty charge is not paid before the end of the 28 day period, an increased charge may be payable;
6 the amount of the increased charge;
7 the address to which the penalty charge must be sent;
8 that the person on whom the person is served may be entitled to make representations under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Act; and
9 specify the form in which such representations are made.
The local authority's penalty notice states that the reduced amount is payable before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the date of service of the notice.
This is a fundamental error and because of it I will allow the appeal.

I think I maybe should have gone to Specsavers !!
So, yes, the PCN is way out-of-time assuming there are no car hire or change of ownership issues.
