Oxidane:  you must make representations against the NTO.  There is no way you could file an OFR under the circumstances, in my view.

2. Or based on some Googling - wait for the order of recovery and raise at this stage the PCN was never received and have the 50% discount reinstated here?

That's why you shouldn't go Googling.

You've told us about a notice but haven't shown it; just an offer to do so.

"Scrubbed"? The only thing you should remove is your name and address.
Title: NTO received through post but was never in receipt of original PCN

Hi all,

Received a NTO last week in regards to a council PCN issued back in Dec for parking without payment of the parking charge (I do not dispute this - completely missed the sign re hours of charge).

The 14 day 50% discount has of course passed but happy to spend a bit of time on this to have the 50% discount reinstated given we never received the initial PCN.

Looking up the PCN on the council website, I see several photos of my car but no attached PCN on the windscreen on any of them.

Do I -
1. Bother with submitting a representation/challenge now on the council website stating the original PCN was never received - and that their included photos as evidence supports this - though I wonder if councils have a duty to prove whether the PCN was ever issued and attached to the car in the first place?
2. Or based on some Googling - wait for the order of recovery and raise at this stage the PCN was never received and have the 50% discount reinstated here?

Thanks in advance. Happy to provide scrubbed photos / further details.
