Reading - Minster Street Bus Lane - leased car, PCN not received yet
« on: »
Greetings and thanks for running this forum!

I have been notified by the lease company of a PCN issued about entering the bus lane in Minster Street, date of Notice 08/12/2025. Lease company replied to Council with my details (which are correct).

I haven't received a "new" PCN in the post yet, but I have the details of the original one, which I checked on the council's website and it's still pending. Now the original "bribe" deadline for not challenging the PCN (only paying half of the £70 amount) has expired. But a Charge Certificate was not issued yet (or at least I haven't received yet) despite having been more than 28 days from the original letter (to the lease company).

Unsure of what to do. Chances are the new PCN got lost in the post; I don't think the council is going to cancel it.

- Should I contact the council and ask them to pay the reduced rate?
- What if I want to appeal the PCN?

Lease companies can sometimes be very badly informed of the law regarding postal PCNs.

I suggest you first check with them to make sure they haven't paid it at the discounted rate, because if they have it is game over, because then, the council will not send out a PCN to you. Secondly, if they have merely reported your name and address, ask them when they received advice from the council that their PCN had been cancelled. The council have 28 days to serve the second PCN from date of cancellation of the first one.
