PCN parking.

Can anyone advise, I have received a pcn from hovering council.
The original one arrived, then 2 days later the same pcn arrived with different postal dates but the same offence times and date.
Am I able to appeal under a procedural error. ie 2 notices, different date same offence.
Also under certain offences within the traffic managment act 2004 you have to be served a notice of intended prosecution (nip) within 14 days.
Does the penalty charge notice come under these rules.

The issue of a doubled-up PCN looks very much like a procedural error. However, you make reference to "the same PCN". Does it have the same reference number?
With regard to any offences under the TMA 2004 there are none, as far as I am aware, that require the issue of a Notice of Intended Prosecution within the terms of s.1 Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988. The fact that you have not been served with a NIP within 14 days or at all is irrelevant.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
The 2 pcn's have the same reference number, the only difference between the 2 is one is post dated the 8th the other the 10th0

It's nothing to do with a NIP as this is decriminalised parking enforcement.
Take pics or scans of the front & back of one or both PCNs and post a new thread on pepipoo forums here on this board:
http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=30
Read their FAQs and sticky threads first for info and to see how to post pics on that forum. Pepipoo get most people off most Council PCNs, so hopefully you will end up paying nothing if you follow their advice.
HTHPRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
