    Would paying up the first PCN have a negative effect on the second?

    No, but why on earth would you want to do that?

    Re-read Waamo's most recent post and the last sentence of post #13.

    Another newbie question, when looking at other template letters, what are these abbreviations?

    "(a !!!8220;notice to hirer!!!8221;)"

    It's rubbish punctuation.

    Make it look right before you send it anywhere.

    So the numbers or exclamations have no relevance?

    Ok here is the draft for appeal to OPS for PCN 2:

    "<snip>"
    What's wrong with the template appeal in post #1 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky/pinned thread?

    That's correct.

    I wasn't sure it would apply to me as a private leaser.

    But the first sentence of your bespoke appeal lets you down:
    I would like you to know I (as the registered keeper of the vehicle)...
    You are not the registered keeper, are you?

    Good point. Sorry, quite stressed by it all.

    If you want an appeal specifically for a hired vehicle, have a look at the bottom of post #1 of the NEWBIES thread under the heading COMPANY, LEASE OR HIRE CARS ANYWHERE IN THE UK.

    I’ve just looked at the dates. Looks like the dates where done within POFA?

    Date of Contravention: 6th Jan

    Letter back from lease company dated 19th Jan, stamped as received by OPS as 25th Jan

    Date of sending of PCN to hirer: 26th Jan

    I then arrived after a period overseas to open them on the 3rd Feb.
