Dart Charge PCN

cp33c

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me here. Today, I've received two Dart Charge PCN's through the post that were issued on 28/12 - I had it setup using an account, but my card was declined and I didn't notice the emails from Dart Charge explaining this. The thing is, these are the final notices and not the first PCNs. I have yet to receive those. I'm guessing that maybe due to the delays caused by the postal strikes, or maybe they just haven't shown up, I'm unsure. I phoned the helpline to be told that it's too late and I have to make a representation now or pay the £105 per letter. I guess I would just like some assistance with the representation in respect to what it is I should be asking from them. Should I be asking for them cancel, or just asking them to send the original and then ask them to cancel.....I have no idea.

Further to this, my car is a lease car and I'm aware that if this were a parking ticket then they would have to send me the correct lease information as well as the PCN, etc. I haven't received anything other than the one page PCN saying I need to pay. Does this also apply?

For reference, according to the letter I've received from them, the offences were on 17th & 18th September, and I was originally issued a letter on 15th November. The letters I received today were issued on 28th December. 

Thanks

1. Just pone them, they usually are quite lenient for a first "offence" especially as you tried to pay with an account.
2. If that doesn't work go here: -

Since we concentrate on parking charge notices from unregulated private parking companies, you would be better off taking this over to our friends on Pepipoo.com as they are the experts on council and police issues.

You will need to sign up on Pepipoo with a non-Hotmail email address before reading the FAQs, then posting both sides of your PCN with your query.
