Newcastle City Council Issued me with a farcical PCN in early November 2025 and to be fair I just ignored it, I so wish I could get a judge to look at the video as it is so pathetic, I intially thought I made a mistake in Newcastle city center driving as it is a nightmare and designed to make you fail - but it was not - my problem is I completely ignored the letters and it is now with the Bailiffs and my research indicates that there is literally nothing that can be done now which is sad as like Croydon council - Newcastle are trying to use the motorist to fill the void in the budget overspend with outrageous PCN claims - I cant use the T7 form as I dont meent any of the criteria, so unless anyone knows a potential way round this, it looks like I will have to pay these criminals £190.00 - I did contemplate letting the bailifs keep coming out and telling them to f-off and hope the council then try to get a CCJ which would then hopefully give me the ability to show the court the video one concern i have regarding this is that I own my flat outright and dont want them to put a lean on the property

£190 now, then another £235 if they have to visit. As regards your suggested plan, this would work out as an additional debt of approx. £33 per letter.

    (and Schedule)


The matter has already been reviewed by a court, the Traffic Enforcement Centre who authorised the warrant of control.

IMO, your best bet is to see if the £75 Enforcement fee, which was added when the Notice of Enforcement was issued, could be saved. We need to see the Notice of Enforcement.

But as per John U.K post everything.

I have enclosed images of the latest letter ( front & back ) from the Bailiffs, and video of the exact incident that the PCN was issued, as previously mentioned I assumed it was from a mistake I had made in Newcastle town centre, but upon viewing the video it was actually on the ourtskirts of Newcastle, I recall the incident and my vehicle made an almighty bang noise and lots of warning lights came on the dashboard and my immediate reaction was to pull to the side of the road ( as can be seen by my severe swerve to exit the main road ) as soon as I stopped the warning ligths went off and I drove back on to the main road appox 13-15 seconds later as can be seen in the video - when I called Newcastle City Council ( I had not viewd the video at this point ) she was watching it and said ohh yes you pulled right outside of a school, but the incident was at 19:40 pm so am not sure how this is even relevant - a terrible council to deal with, they said I can only use the Te7 Form but it is completely pointless as I do not meet any of the strict criteria - I am prepaired to fight this if I have a good chance of stopping this council stealing money from motorists who did nothing wronng so your opinions are very much welcomed.

I can not bring myself to pay £190 for a completely farciacal PCN - I am not concerned regarding the bailiffs visiting my property, but could someone advise on weather I would have a good chance considering the stated facts/video that if the debt was returned to the council as unrecoverable ( which I would make sure the debt was ) and they decidedd to take me to court hat I would have a good chance of the judge kickeing this farce out after watching the video.

Why would 'the judge' watch the video? You were given a window of opportunity to challenge the PCN and by not doing so you've already admitted defeat.

You can get it reset if you never received the original PCN but you've confirmed that you did.

If the PCN didn't inform you of the time limits then that might be something we could help you challenge?

Hi each and all - I have just spoken to a very knowledgeable lady at Bailiff Advice Online who advised that the TE7 would not be accepted by the council, my options are to pay THE £190 but they will already claim to already have been and the price will have increased, or if I am not concerned about the bailiffs coming to simply ignore and the debt return to the council unrecoverable as the Bailiffs are pretty much the last thing the council can do, they will simply end up writing the debt off, they can not put a lean on my property or get a CCJ in relation to the debt
