Order for Recovery of Unpaid PCN

mschultz

On 15-Nov-2019 we received an Order for Recovery of Unpaid PCN that relates to an offence that took place on 30-Jan-2017 (based on CCTV evidence so no PCN manually served) - this is almost 3 years ago.

We received none of the PCN correspondance that was alegedly sent to us by the local authority concerned - so this is the first notification we have had with regard to the offence.

Please can you advise me whether this summonse via TEC in Northampton County Court has any legal standing since the event was almost 3 years ago - i.e. the Local Authority is out of time.

Many thanks for your advice.

As we major on private parking tickets here, PePiPoo will be your best bet for council tickets. Register there (but please note that a hotmail address won't work - try using a throwaway gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering) and post a new thread; here's your link:

Have a read through some of the other threads there before you post your own to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the council (both sides, if appropriate) as they need to see all the small print.

PePiPoo has an excellent success record in dealing with council tickets.
