Parking Contravention 26

Posts: 14 Forumite
I received a PCN stating I parked more than 50cms away from the edge of the carriageway.
I agree to that but they have mentioned the wrong location on the PCN.
I was in a competely different place at that time.
The pictures shown are of a different address.
Could you advise me if I could challenge this contravention and what are the chances of me winning it and the PCN getting cancelled.
Thank you.
Barry.

It sounds like a council ticket, but can you confirm this please as the advice depends on your answerWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

Thank you.
Just wondered if they could issue me with a new PCN with the correct location once they cancel this one.0 -
Wrong location is normally fatal to council PCNs , which means it will probably be cancelled. They cannot reissue the PCN unlike scamming private parking companies. Post it up on pepipoo.com and they will confirm that.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

If the location on the PCN is wrong, then the contravention did not occur. The OP needs to establish 100% that in fact the location is incorrect and appeal accordingly.PLEASE NOTEMy advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.0
