Council issued PCN

Last month I received a PCN from Glasgow City Council which stated that I had parked without clearly displaying a valid Pay and Display voucher - I had a parking permit displayed on the dashboard in the same place I always put them.
I sent off an appeal letter that day stating that I had use of a permit. Last week I received a reply from the council addressed to myself but about a different car registration and PCN number. Again I wrote off saying that I don't own that car and never have.
This morning, I've received a notice to owner from the council basically telling me I have run out of time to pay the reduced fee for my car but again quoting another different PCN number? I plan to appeal again anyway since I had a parking permit, but doest the fact that they each time they have written, the PCN number is wrong add any weight to this?

  • It certainly should. Hopefully those more conversant with Scots law will be along soon, if not try Pepipoo.com as this could be a complex one.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Not making sense without seeing the docs. Go to a better forum as advised.

    You didn't mention wrong VRM for the NtO? Correct or wrong again?

    Sorry, I can't scan the docs. The Nto has the correct VRM but a 2nd different PCN number. Thanks for replies anyway
  • Do you not know someone with a digital camera or a mobile with a camera? If you do put it on close setting, host the pics on tinypic, take the url they give and post it on here with a gap between http:// and the writing. I know they say a picture is worth a thousand words but in these cases is really is. Photo BOTH sides (assuming its not blank) of all paperwork received.
