I received a PCN 24/08/2017 at the Bank intersection: 52M Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle (motor vehicle).
I have now been sent a Charge certificate as (my fault and no one else's) I have been working away from home and forgot to take the PCN with me :-( and of course the 50% discounted £65 charge (that should be £130) is now £195, received this Friday.
The PCN arrived with a map of the Experimental Traffic Changes - Bank Junction Allowed Vehicle Movements.

One of the confusing things (apart from the road layout and signs, if anyone has been there) is the First PCN that has the charge has a paragraph at the bottom saying, Failure to pay the penalty charge in full before the end of the 28 Day Period may lead to the charge being increased by 50% to £195 and a Charge Certificate being served seeking payment of the increased charge. But of course an increase of 50% is £130, if its the discounted rate or £260 if its the full amount.
Also on the Charge Certificate received there is a paragraph saying "Full payment was not paid by the speciied date and the penalty charge has been increased by 50%. If I fail to pay the full outstanding amount before the end of the period 14 days beginning with the date this certificate is served then action will be taken by the local authority to charge as a debt at the county court. etc.
Am I to late to do anything here as I messed up by not contesting this earlier? And I'm guessing if I have to do something it has to be done ASAP.
Any help much appreciated, Thanks David
