Got a charge from PCM (Parking Control Management)

Hey guys,
It was a residential private site where a relative lives. Apparently there are visitor bays and a permit needs to be displayed. Got a windscreen PCN, the usual £100 / £60 discount. I’ve dealt with these before but previously got a letter first. Anything special I need to be aware of?

    You can appeal as registered keeper on day 26, as explained in the NEWBIES thread. The idea being they might forget to serve a NTK which us fatal to keeper liability.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Thanks @Coupon-mad . As PCM is an IPC member, I followed the current advice in the Newbies thread to wait for the NTK and then appeal. The NTK was posted 31 days after the windscreen PCN, with a “given” date 33 days after the PCN. I’ve now appealed online as keeper using the template (minus the PDT paragraph, as there are no machines on site). There was no email option on the notice.

    NTK attached, heavily redacted in case PCM are snooping around here!

    Thanks again to everyone for all the useful information. If not for this forum I would have just paid up every time.

    OK, just ignore PCM when they reject it.

    Tell them if you move house, obviously.

    Ignore debt demands.

    Come back here if you get a Claim Form.
