I know you said a CEO has issued it, can you just confirm it is a council ticket?

If it is, go to https://www.pepipoo.com for this, register read the FAQs then post up a new thread, you will need scans of both sides of your pcn, photos of the area and signs if possible, and any letters sent or received, scan them in omitting details lthat can identify you.

If its not, name and shame the company, then ignore utterly.

Surely you know how to spell the make of your own car? :rotfl:

It would appear not.

The make of the car is not a requirement, so it doesn't actually matter if they misspell I'm afraid.

Classic! :T

But your unfortunate spelling mistake doesn't mean you cannot either:

appeal if it's a Council Penalty Charge (real PCN) - but please, not on the spelling grounds!

or

ignore it if it's a private Parking Charge (fake PCN).

Advice as follows:

1) Check your V5 document, as I suspect the DVLA may also have mis-spelled the make of your vehicle;
2) Find somewhere that does remedial English classes, with the emphasis on use of punctuation, and capitalisation of proper names and pronouns.

Be nice people. We can all make a mistake.

To scorpioclaw, can you tell us a little more about the circumstances in which you came to get the PCN? Or better still post up a copy of it (front and back) obscuring any identifiable information.
