PCN received more than 14 days after parking date
My partner had a PCN from Smart Parking. The parking date was 13/08/2023 and the date issued was 12/09/2023, 30 days after the parking date. No PCN notice was issued on the windscreen at the time and the PCN letter was only posted to her house last Tuesday (07/11/2023), so I think Smart Parking are lying about the date of…

Britannia Parking Notice to Keeper
Hi everyone, Hope someone can help. Just got a notice to keeper through the door, having read a lot of the threads on here and comparing the pictures of the POFA compliant and non POFA compliant, it is my opinion that the NTK that I’ve got is non POFA so I’m assuming I can appeal based on this and go down the route of not…
