Penalty Charge Notification (PCN) for collecting a parcel

Their response will be, and I paraphrase.

"We issued a PCN. We are right. You are wrong. Pay up"

However the fight is yours not ours. It is your PCN to do with as you will.

Is the failure of the General Regulations not enough for you ?

it should be enough, I'm looking into the Off-Street Parking Places Order for that Car park as you suggest - hoping that gives me a second angle.

Cheers.

Most wise. Some adjudication decisions can be 'surprising' no matter the case.

As many points as you can muster is good strategy.

It's been almost 2 months now since i received this PCN. I appealed, but still have not received any response. I phoned to see what was going on, and they said the PCN was "on hold," and that i would still be entitled to pay the reduced charge once they had responded to the appeal and that a note has been put on the file. They said they could not advise when i would receive a response.

Does anyone know if there is a time limit which the council has to investigate the appeal before the PCN becomes invalid?

Thanks

I thought it was 56 days for the pcn and 6months for the nto, I hope others will correct me if wrong.

Surprisingly enough there is no time limit laid down for a Council to respond to an initial informal challenge/appeal.
The 56 day rule relates to responding to a formal appeal following service of the NTO.
