thanks - last Q for now i think..
for the 1st PCN the screen defaults to the 'other reasons' box as below which i submitted with the content of the letter in the representation box (as well as uploading the letter and the paul bateman case as PDFs).
should i be selecting a different option (last but one) or does it not really make a difference if all the evidence is included?
Please select your grounds for Representation:
I was not the owner of the vehicle at the time it was driven in the Clean Air Zone. Please provide the name and address of the person you disposed of the motor vehicle to or acquired from, and provide proof of sale/acquired, such as a dated invoice or receipt.
The charge did not apply to the vehicle. For example, the vehicle met the applicable emissions standard or an exemption applied. Please provide details relating to the vehicle meeting the required emissions standard of the Clean Air Zone, or the exemption that applied.
The charge for using the vehicle in the zone was paid by getting a licence in time from the government pay site. Please provide a copy of your receipt or the unique payment reference number when returning this form.
The vehicle was used in the Clean Air Zone by someone else without my knowledge or consent (i.e. The vehicle had been stolen and the crime reported to the police). Please provide the name and address of the person you believe was using or keeping the vehicle (if known). If you reported the vehicle as stolen, provide the crime reference number, unique police reference number, or the insurance claim reference. Alternatively please provide other evidence the vehicle was stolen or used without your consent.
We are a vehicle hire (or lease) firm and the vehicle was used driven by a hirer/lessee. Please provide the hirer's/lessee's full name and address and a copy of the hire/lease agreement that includes a statement of liability for road user charges or penalty charges.
The Council has made a procedural error when dealing with my case or the PCN. If you believe there has been a failure on the part of the Council in relation to this notice or its enforcement, you must explain this to us.
The penalty charge exceeded the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case. The amount of the penalty charge is set in the relevant charging order. This ground applies if a different penalty charge is claimed.
Other reasons – Please use the box below. (If there are any other compelling reasons why, in the particular circumstances of the case, you consider Bristol City Council should cancel this Penalty Charge Notice and refund any sum already paid.)
