hello
i got caught by the infamous talgarth road yellow box by hammersmith and fulham council turning right . My date of contravention was 19/07/21 and date of notice was 27/08 making it 40 days, ie outside the 28 days time limit. This is a lease car lease under my company name. The pcn is addressed to the company name not mine. Can i appeal on the grounds that they have not sent it me in the 28 day time limit or is this argument invalid as it is a lease car and they have had to contact the finance company to obtain the details. Also does it make a difference that my name isnt on it atall.? many thanks |

big difference that your name is not on as the lease co are liable unless the transfer is done correctly , most lease terms over 6 months are not
Only the person named on the PCN is liable Id this your employer? If so them you will need an authority to act on their behalf in this matter and you will need some info from the lease co When did they first receive a PCN? When did they make representations in order to transfer liability? When did the council respond cancelling that PCN? -------------------- All advice is given freely.

i have contacted the finance company and they dont have any record of any recent PCNS sent under my vehicle registration, they are sending me a letter to say i can appeal on their behalf should i need it but the PCN is in my company name.

If they don't have a record of PCN's what would you be appealing the lease co must have received a PCN else how did the council get your company name if it is not on the v5c -------------------- All advice is given freely.

What's the name of the lease company?
Incidentally we've never seen H&F send a NoA to a lease company. This post has been edited by cp8759: Wed, 1 Sep 2021 - 16:26 -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

OP, the person who's entitled to make reps is the addressee as stated on the PCN. In this case it's a company. (Can you be more specific e.g. limited company etc?) But companies can't write, so this is done by authorised officers/officials of the company on the company's behalf. Not their own behalf, the company's. You are authorised to act for the company but whatever you submit to the council or any correspondence with the lease company is done in the company's name at all times. |

Thanks. No to refer to your question: . Also does it make a difference that my name isnt on it atall.? None at all if the person hiring the vehicle (which as stated previously can be a legal or a physical entity) was the company. Even if you signed the agreement this was on behalf of the company, yes? |

Your company is on the hook. Is it landed we do not know if the council do not deal with the PCN to the lease co, NO but lets have answers When did the lease co receive the PCN? When did they make representations naming your co? when did they receive a response And what did they send

If it's VWFS we know they don't send a copy of the lease to the council, this combined with H&F not sending NoAs puts us on reasonably safe ground.
You could wait for VWFS to come back but to be honest I'd just make a representation to the council, by the time you get the rejection you should have the answers from VWFS and can make an informed choice as to whether to appeal to the tribunal. ------------------- Dear London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, We deny liability on the basis that we do not own and have never owned the vehicle concerned. Further to this, the PCN appears to be out of time.

Got a further update from VWFS
The original notice dated the 28th July 2021 arrived into our offices on the 3rd August 2021. We then issued a transfer of liability form requesting the fine to be transferred to yourself which was sent on the 4th August 2021. The duplicated notice dated the 28th July 2021 then arrived into our offices on the 12th August 2021 which we appealed advising we had received this already and our transfer form had not been acknowledged. |
