What does the website say re payment?
OK in now.
"The amount outstanding on the PCN is £80.00, and will increase to £160.00 on Fri, 23 Jan 2026. Please pay £80.00 now." That date seems more than the 5th + 14 days.
"Pay Now" takes me to citypay.
"Representation" takes me to a standard form with the following options:
The contravention did not occur
I was not the owner of the vehicle at the time the contravention occurred
The vehicle had been taken without the keepers consent (i.e. it was stolen)
We are a hire firm and will provide details of the hirer
The PCN exceeded the amount applicable
The PCN has been paid
I wish to make representations about this PCN for other reasons
Clicking on "Your PCN is at discount stage. PCN process information" takes me to
