Would anyone know whether it is worth contacting the local MP in regards to a PN? I have tried locating a number for Brent PCN appeals but apparently they only entertain written correspondence...

Long story short, 3 PCN appeals have been ignored as I have not heard anything back, yet the PCN has now increased from £80 to £240

No point contacting an MP. As charge certificates have been issued there is a standard procedure to get these reset to PCN level, providing you're in time, which is fairly common on this forum.

Someone will be along shortly to advise of the procedure.

Who is the registered keeper. Whose name and address are on the V5C logbook.

How do you know the amounts have gone up to £240, which is charge certificate stage.

What are the PCNs for.

What are the dates of the PCNs.

Following the appeals process. No-one has contacted to say whether an appeal was unsuccessful etc

Got a letter in the post saying that the amount has gone up as no representations have been made when in fact they have been. I have not received anything to say that my representations were unsuccessful

I think you need to tell us what the PCNs were for or better still show them.
Served on your vehicle or by post, etc.

It was one PCN for being parked in a no loading bay (I had no choice as I am a disabled driver and needed to pick up emergency medication). It was a physical ticket on my car. I appealed this, didn't hear back, it increased to £160. I then appealed this decision, and got another letter in the post today stating it had been increased to £240 as "no representations have been made". I have proof that I made these reps and am 100% certain no correspondence from the council has been received

So one windscreen served PCN.

You seem to have got a notice to owner to which you made representations but got no rejection and now you have a charge certificate?

If that is the case then you can file a witness statement at debt recovery stage.

What are the PCN number and car VRM.

Yes that sounds right!

So they got your reps but you didn't get the notice of rejection. Not a loading bay but poorly marked no loading on double yellows near to your car.

Yes that's correct, apart from two letters saying the charge has/had increased.

Do I have a leg to stand on here, or is it a lost cause?

IMO, you have two separate issues here:
1. Their evidence that they considered and rejected your formal representations and your claim that you did not receive this response. This is procedural and financial;

2. The substantive matter of your PCN and whether an adjudicator would allow any appeal, which also has financial implications.

As regards 1, we will guide you in order to reduce the current charge of £240 down to at least £120 and possibly £60.

As regards 2, we would advise how to take the matter to adjudication and give views on your prospects.

For now there is nothing for you to do. You do not step outside procedure with correspondence to all and sundry, you stay within procedure, keep an eye on your post and the council's website once the CC's 14 days have expired and keep us up to speed.

The biggest issue is that I even said to them that I was happy to pay the original £80 fine


Thanks for your help, I will keep you updated
