PCN Number: [Insert PCN Number]
Vehicle Registration Number: [Insert VRN]

To whom it may concern,

I am submitting a formal challenge to the above PCN issued on [Date], based on the following grounds:

 1. Faults in PCN Registration
The PCN itself appears to be poorly registered, containing errors that obscure clear interpretation of the charges. These inaccuracies hinder my ability to accurately understand and respond to the notice, potentially rendering the PCN invalid. Given the significant impact of these registration errors on my legal right to respond, I believe this alone is sufficient reason for cancellation.

 2. Incorrect Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM)
The PCN lists my vehicle’s registration with the character ‘0’ instead of the letter ‘O’. This discrepancy has made it difficult to locate the PCN online and does not match my vehicle’s officially registered VRM. An incorrect VRM may invalidate the PCN, as it could prevent accurate retrieval of DVLA details and further obstruct my right to respond accurately.

 3. Unclear Signage
At the time of parking, I did not see any clear signage indicating the requirement for a permit, as the nearest sign was positioned at the edge of the road and may have been obscured by parked vehicles. In a recent case (Ref: 2240393985, adjudicated on 7 May 2024), an appeal was upheld due to insufficient evidence of adequate and compliant signage. I believe similar circumstances apply here.

In light of these points, I respectfully request the cancellation of the PCN.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.


Yours faithfully,
