Thank you. Sorry for the delay. Please find the other 5 pages in the links. Please let me know if illness / tiredness / stress with proof of subsequent GP appointment might help. Also, on Friday, I used their message portal to ask if the deadline for £90 discount was Sunday (today) or Monday (tomorrow) and what date I need to make representations / appeal by whilst keeping the discount. However, this message was sent out of working hours. Thanks.

Posted 4 June.
Served 8 June, Day 1.
IMO, the discount must be paid no later than the last day of 14-day period which is 21 June. (I dislike the term 'until' X because for some X is included but for others it's excluded.'Not later than' is more precise).
As far as your account goes, your reasons are not statutory defences, they are mitigating circumstances which, if push comes to shove, an adjudicator cannot consider.
Pl post the rest of the PCN.

No, it says 14 days beginning with date of service. They send it by post so it can't be served on you the same day they print and post it! It's assumed to reach you two business days after posting if sent first class.

Ah thanks very much. It says 14 days of the date of the notice (today) but then does say by 22nd June (Monday)

The letter confirms the discounted penalty is available to you until 22 June so no need to rush a decision today.

I received a ULEZ fine, letter dated 04/06/2026 and unfortunately I have until today to pay half, which is still a lot of money. I am sorry but I have been on holiday and need to decide how to respond today. My plan is to now plead financial hardship (true, I don't have £90 right now) and pay in installments (hopefully) unless there are any mitigating circumstances I can use to appeal?
In all honesty, I live in West Yorkshire and had to drive to North London and back the same day when I was ill with a chest infection of some sort (I could evidence this with my GP appointment last week). I think this didn't help me remember to pay (illness, stress, tiredness) but don't know if that is a good enough reason.
