Validty of PCN

I have has a PCN issued by Sutton Council which is single sided printed. However, because the printer did not print everything out, this has been over-written by hand by the civil enforcement officer.
Can anyone advise whether this is indeed a valid PCN as issued , or whether - because it had been altered/amended/over-written by hand - it has grounds to be contested. Incidentally, the hand writing is ill-spelled.

I would say yes, very much so, however the council have a rubber stamp for appeals "FAILED"
you may have to take it up with the adjudicator .Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

As long as it is not an Excess Charge - then yes, sounds like a pile of pants that can be successfully appealed.

Like me, vax2002 means it's a PCN that can be appealed (as long as it is a PCN and not headed up 'Excess Charge').
If it's a Penalty Charge Notice then pepipoo will help you win this (almost certainly). About 95% of people who go on pepipoo get off their Council tickets - either before or at adjudication.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Thank you all for your help. I challenged Sutton Council, who have withdrawn the ticket as there was a procedural error associated with its issue.:j:T0
