Parking fine i wasn't aware of....

Hi All,

Please bare with me as I'm sure the title doesn't make sense?

Basically i have received a NtO (notice to owner) letter today stating that i must pay the £50 for parking for longer than the permitted time.

Apparently the PCN was served on the 20/08/2016 and only on the 04/10/2016 have i been sent this NtO letter.

The thing is.... I never came across this PCN stuck to my windscreen on the date they said it was so i am unsure where i stand on the grounds of appeal?

The location it was served is a public road which i park on as i live in one of the houses, one side allows you to park there at any time and the other side only allows you to park for upto 1 hour between 8am-6pm. On this particular day the free to park side was full so i parked on the other side with the plan to move within one hour hoping a space became available.... obviously i forgot but this isn't my argument here.

so I'm only guessing some one has kindly removed the PCN before i had chance to get to it, I know its not the councils fault but now I'm forced to pay £50 instead of the discounted £25 which i would of paid with in 14 days if i was given chance too.

Anybody heard or been in this position before? i am going to phone the parking enforcement office tomorrow to discuss my options.

Any help and guidance is much appreciated.

Kind Regards.

    If this is a council ticket you would be better posting on pepipoo.com. We tend to specialise in private parking tickets here.
    Read the FAQs on pepipoo and then post both sides of your (redacted) PCN with your questions.
