PCN (Advisory Notice Only) arrived late
« on: »
Hello, my first post here.

A PCN (Advisory Notice Only) dated 20th Jun informing about a contravention on 13th Jun.  No penalty was imposed and the driver was warned that a PCN with penalty charge will be issued for the next contravention.  This notice arrived on 9th Jul (26 days after the date of contravention).

On 27th Jun, the same contravention at exactly the same location happened, this time a PCN was issued with a penalty charge.  The date of the notice is 23rd Jul and it arrived on 29th Jul.

Ground of appeal:

The first PCN (Advisory Notice Only) took too long to arrive.  If it arrived earlier, it is possible the driver will receive the notice in time and pay particular attention, therefore the contravention would not have occurred.

The long delay of the arrival of the PCN (Advisory Notice Only) defeats the purpose of its very existence.

Would this work?

Sorry it is a bit long.

You should submit representations based on your narrative here; hopefully they will cancel this PCN, although I doubt it, such is the greed for money in councils these days.

You don't say much about the contravention itself. Why did you miss the signs twice ?

Indeed - why did you drive past the signs - it seems to be a new school street zone.

Be aware that Havering does not reoffer the discount on rejection.

OP, can we get back to the start pl.

Advisory PCN - dated 20 Jun, 'arrived' 9 July (19 days after posting);
Actual PCN - dated 23 July, arrived 30th. (7 days after posting)

IMO, we need to look at:
Who is the registered keeper;
Are their DVLA details current?


It is improbable(though not impossible) for two items of mail to take this time to arrive at a standard residential address.

Hello, I am trying to help a colleague.  Anyway, he decided to pay up, so this matter is now closed.  Thank you for all your help.
