PCN Wrong registration number entered on ticket machine
Hi Got a PCN NTK letter through the post last week. What happened was my partner used my car that morning and when she paid for the ticket, without thinking, she entered her registration number, instead of the registration number of my car which she was driving.

Wrong Location Address on PCN
