Free Traffic Legal Advice

Dear Moderators,

Received below PCN for parking on Double yellow line (only for a minute).

short story, was picking medicine and parked for a minute and when saw someone looking into my car, I returned back and removed car. PCN was issued when I moved out so not stick to windscreen, Even photos where taken when I was moving,


1. Received letter that NTO and CC already issued, while i received nothing.

2. Checked PCN on provided link from council where car colour is mentioned "BROWN" instead of RED.

Haven't contacted Council yet.

Could you please shed some light on below?

let me know if links not working or any questions please.

Regards,

Your dropbox links don't work. The photo appears then disappears and I get an error screen.

Error
Something went wrong. Don’t worry, your files are still safe and the Dropbox team has been notified. Check our Status Page to see if there is a known incident, our help centre and forums for help, or go back to home.

Are the name and address on the letter you have correct?

You are missing two letters - a PCN (probable if you drove away and a PCN not served), and a charge certificate.

Date of last logbook change is 2 May 2019 so address not changed for some time.

Any problems with post?

Not getting the PCN/NTO gives an automatic way to get this reset.

You have only posted the enforcement agent documents. W

No, it's a letter from the council warning of debt registration.

It's a pity they don't show a photo of the sign on the post. if you get my gist.

Obs period is not a grace period.

You parked, obs started when CEO arrived which it's reasonable to assume was after you parked otherwise you'd have seen them therefore trying to deduce the obs period from times of photos is pointless IMO.

When you returned you did not explain or communicate with the CEO but instead drove away, hence the photos.

If you are the registered keeper then once the penalty is registered at the Traffic Enforcement Centre (as referred to in the letter) you would be entitled to submit a witness statement to them on the grounds that you did not receive the NTO. The matter would then be reset to the PCN stage.

Only you know whether this notice was received and whether you could legitimately sign a statement of truth to this effect. But this decision is yours alone.

I suggest you contact the council, confirm your address for correspondence and ask when the PCN will be registered by them.

We will request the council to send original PCN as not received.

We request CEO to not issue Notice as moving car and was there for a minute but he took his device to start printing PCN and we drove away.

Our car colour was stated  wrong, can this be raised in any way?

I will submit Statement of witness, the letter I received was not recorded delivery or sign for, possibility PCN/CC to lost in post.

Thanks

No, this is not an option for them.

They must register the PCN with the Traffic Enforcement Centre and then they may issue an Order for Recovery which encloses the Witness Statement.

And what's with 'we'. Only the registered keeper may act in this matter. Are you the RK?
