Free Traffic Legal Advice

First check the registration on the DVLA to see whether the vehicle exists.
If it doesn't you can safely ignore the PCN

If the vehicle does exist you can  either:

a) Do nothing, in which case the council will send the Notice to Owner to the registered keeper of the reg no. assuming that  the reg no. on the pcn actually exists. This means that the true owner will have the aggravation of trying to sort it out

b) (Recommended. The council's mistake has handed you a get-out-of jail-free card, so it's only right that you don't land the unsuspecting owner in a pile of trouble not of his making)
Write to the council enclosing a copy explaining that you found this pcn on your vehicle but the vrm on the pcn does not relate to any vehicle that you own.

The council will realise their mistake and cancel the pcn. (they cannot re-issue a corrected pcn). This means that the reg keeper will not have to deal with a pcn which they know nothing about and of which they are entirely innocent.


Make sure you keep the pcn safe (just in case the council try to issue a corrected NtO.)

I was parked here https://maps.app.goo.gl/FeuaZhZsGXfL1kcy6 where the silver car is parked.The RPZ sign is mounted on the pole directly behind the silver car. The disabled bay shown on google maps is the nearest bay to the medical center circa 120mts away.

The pcn is code 02, so you have fallen foul of the 'no loading at any time'

Blue badge is not valid there.

Redbridge allow BB use in residents bays but not business or doctor bays.

Are you sure you were in a resident bay?
