Paid PCN within 3d by post but notice to pay full amount received.

Dad got a parking ticket in mid Feb.

Paid by posting a cheque (£55) in the council provided envelope within a few days.

Thought nothing of it until a notice came about non payment and 14d period has expired and £110 is now due.

Was not posted recorded delivery but was first class.

Advice please?

    Has the cheque been cashed. Is there a debit on your bank statement?

    It is surprising how much vital information people exclude from their posts, do they think that we are psychic?n

    well if They have not cashed the cheque, now the discount is long gone, get the ticket scanned both sides and head to pepipoo and see if you can get off with it.
    Be happy...;)

    Are we talking about a Council PCN or a PPC PCN here ?.
    It does make a difference in the answers we give.
