A traffic warden was in the process of issuing a PCN against my car in December 2011 just as I returned to the vehicle. I got in the car and drove away before he had a chance to place the ticket onto the car. I later got a letter from the council telling me I needed to pay. I sent in an appeal stating that as far as I was concerned, no PCN was ever issued and could they please provide photographic evidence both the issued ticket and the alleged contravention. I never heard anything else from them.
A few months later I did move house but the council were notified of my new address for council tax and electoral roll purposes. As I had not heard back regarding the PCN I just assumed that they had decided not to pursue.
Yesterday a debt collector called and wanted me to pay. I refused and I said I did not acknowledge the debt. They asked for my new address which I did not give.
I now need to contact the council regarding this. Do they need to prove that the PCN was actually placed onto my car? As it was so long ago I do not have the letter the council sent me in 2011.
