Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Cardiff Council PCN appeal time limit.

Not sure if you got an answer to this or not, but after the 56 days, the PCN has to be waived automatically. Same thing happened with me with the TFL for a yellow box violation, and it went over the allotted time to reply on their end. So even if you are in the wrong, they have to waive it. 

Usually you are contacted via letter or email to confirm this. If they don't waive it and try and charge you, just read back to terms and conditions about the 56 days, they shouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Appealing a PCN (12: Parked in a residents or shared used parking place or zone.)
« on: March 01, 2024, 11:35:23 am »
Hello,

Has anyone had any luck for appealing a PCN for parking in a resident parking area? Parked up after 8pm (not realising 1. it was resident parking 2. even if it was, most resident parking permits only apply until 8pm in Cardiff). Got a fine at 8:36pm, but no picture of the parking violation.

Signs weren't clear it was residents only (the one I found was vandalised, which had been turned away at an angle) and also it was dark and heavily raining, so I'm not going to run up and down trying to find any other signs.

I've heard you can argue poor signage or emergency parking (in cases of a broken down car), can anyone attest to challenging and winning under similar circumstances?


Thanks!
