My issue with this is not so much the contravention on 11/11/2025 – but that this is the first I had heard of this. I received a letter (Charge Certificate) c. 16th/17th April (dated 13th April).
But have had no prior notice of this at all.


I did move house in November 2025 and I have already chased (DVLA) and had a letter from DVLA - back in January - that they messed up (lost) my address change on V5s. That aside, the first I hear about this should not be Charge Certificate where they have now upped things to £240.00

The location of the contravention is
Piccadilly - Dover/Arlington

There are no images of the contravention - just the charge cert' shown here.

There's a statutory process to get it reset if you didn't get the original PCN:

You need to he proactive and get the necessary forms sent off once the debt is registered - there's a limited no of days where the council must cancel the OFR - after that it is out of time and the council can reject it.

Cheers, found them.... although it seems moot at this point as I am waiting for the OFR to then get it knocked back to getting the original PCN.
