I don't think so. It was a rental van, so the first PCN goes to the rental company that own the van and hold the V5C Registration Certificate. The council have 28 days to serve this from contravention date. Then the rental company have 28 days to respond, naming you and your address as the renter. The council can then cancel the first PCN and then have another 28 days after cancellation to serve a second PCN to you.

It adds up, doesn't it !

I received a PCM for a 52M. The van was a rental.

Date of contravention - 15 June

Letter dated - 30 July

Does this count as over the time limit for notifying me?
