Title: Re: Formal Reps made under wrong PCN Reference
Post by: lashes84 on March 19, 2025, 11:44:24 am

They were formal reps against a moving traffic contravention.

This is applies to several PCNs not just one.

I made reps using the councils online portal. I inputted the correct PCN reference and VRM and the portal brings up all PCNs issued to the vehicle and not just the one that I made reps against.

I selected the option to make representations and received an automatic acknowledgment.

The council have said they do not have to consider my formal reps because it wasn't made against the correct PCN.

Is this correct?

You say "Formal Reps" - were these against a moving traffic PCN or an NtO (Notice to Owner)?

I made formal reps against a PCN. However, have now been informed that the reps were made against a different PCN reference. The 2 PCNs are related to different contraventions, dates and times.

The council have said they do not have to consider my formal reps because it wasn't made against the correct PCN.

Is this correct?
