How to challenge a PCN
If you have a good reason why you should not pay the PCN, you can make a challenge within 28 days.
Challenge within 14 days to receive a 50 per cent discount rate if you are unsuccessful.
How to make a representation
You can make representations to us if you have received a Notice to Owner letter and have a good reason why you should not pay or if you are unhappy with our decision about your challenge.
If you do not pay or make a representation within 28 days of receiving the letter, a Charge Certificate will be issued and the fine will be increased by 50 per cent.
How to make an appeal
You can make an appeal to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal if you have received a Notice to Owner letter and a formal Notice of Rejection letter. You must do this within 28 days.
If you receive a charge certificate
You have lost your right to appeal. We will register the debt at the County Court if you do not pay within 14 days. We will then ask an Enforcement Agent to recover the debt if it remains unpaid. You will then have to pay their costs as well.
