Hi,

So i have an authority letter from the Director of the company, as assigned driver for use of car for social and domestic use.

Its not any lease its just a mutual family consent from both sides.

Please post up the remaining pages of the PCN.

@cp8759, find attached all pages

@cp8759, what do i do next, as stil waiting for the vidoe but no response so far.

In the circumstances all you can really do is submit a representation stating that the alleged contravention did not occur. Send it online and take a times / dated screenshot of the confirmation page.

@cp8759

Submitting this as below:

The PCN served does not show video evidence on the council's website, and the alleged contravention did not occur.

Also the PCN wrongly states which action triggers the period in which the council
may serve a charge certificate: “If the Penalty Charge is not paid before the end
of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this notice an
increased charge of £195.00 maybe payable. We may then send you a Charge
Certificate.” The law states at Schedule 1 5:

1)Where a penalty charge notice is served on any person and the penalty charge
to which it relates is not paid before the end of the relevant period, the
enforcing authority may serve on that person a statement (in this paragraph
referred to as a “charge certificate”) to the effect that the penalty charge in
question is increased by 50 per cent.

(2)The relevant period, in relation to a penalty charge notice is the period of 28
days beginning—

on which the penalty charge notice is served;

FYI - fingers crossed 

OP, as I understand it:

You are not the registered keeper.

You have 'an authority letter from the Director of the company[to which the PCN was addressed], as assigned driver for use of car for social and domestic use.'

So, can we get back to procedure pl to prevent this from potentially unraveling.

You cannot submit a SAR in your name because you are a stranger in these matters and therefore not the 'subject'.

You could not submit reps in your name because the PCN is not addressed to you.

So, may we see the letter from the Director pl.

Was this enclosed with the SAR and PCN?

If not, to whom and when was it sent.
