PCN wrong number plate on ticket Rushcliffe Borough council, park in disable
« on: »
New to the forum/group so hopefully posting this correctly.

Some advice please. My mum who is visiting me parked in a free car park in my town in a disabled space but forgot to display her badges correctly. When she returned to the car there was a ticket on the windscreen. She was prepared to pay it as she said she wasn't thinking straight but when I looked at the ticket I realised that the number plate on the ticket is wrong and a digit is different to her registration. It's free council car park up to 12 hours but it's because she parked in disable spot without her badges properly in view. Can she appeal it. She realises her mistake. Thanks 

Council is Rushcliffe Borough in Nottinghamshire.
I have tried to add the file attachment following the instructions.

For convenience:




Wrong registration is fatal to PCN (Council cannot re-issue).
According to https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/
it looks as if there is no vehicle associated with the reg.mark on the PCN.

So, you need do nothing or, if you are feeling kind, you can post anonymously a copy of the PCN to the Council with an anonymous note saying you found theis PCN on your vehicle but it is not your registration mark.

What you must do is keep the original PCN very safe in case  down the line some muppet at the Council (could be months or years)  decides to re-ssue with the correct reg. when the original would be your 'get out of jail free' card.

That registration number does not exist, so as long as you do not contact them I fail to see how they are going to be able to send an NTO.

There may be a photo with the VRM, so they might try to 'correct' their mistake when computer says no at NtO stage.

Notice to owner
20.—(1) Where—

(a)a penalty charge notice has been given with respect to a vehicle under regulation 9, and

(b)the period of 28 days specified in the penalty charge notice as the period within which the penalty charge is to be paid has expired without that charge being paid,

the enforcement authority concerned may serve a notice (a “notice to owner”) on the person who appears to it to have been the owner of the vehicle when the alleged contravention occurred.

So, the NTO must be in respect of a specified PCN and a PCN must carry a VRM. Any NTO issued in respect of this PCN number but in respect of a different VRM would a procedural impropriety at best and IMO a guaranteed costs award in the owner's favour should matters progress.

OP, what exactly is this discrepancy?
