Having contacted the lease company they know nothing of the PCN. Council advises my details were passed directly from the DVLA. I did attempt an appeal on the grounds of being outside the Limitation of Service and have just received correspondence that this has been rejected: “We sent you a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) because our camera evidence shows yourvehicle stopped on a yellow box junction (these junctions have yellow, criss-crossedlines). The purpose of box junctions is to keep busy junctions clear and free-flowing. Ifyou are going straight across a box junction, you need to make sure you can cross itwithout stopping. If you are turning right and your exit road is clear, you may stop on abox junction while you wait for oncoming traffic to pass. We have looked again at thecamera evidence, as well as considering the points in your letter, and are satisfied thatthe PCN was correctly given.I have investigated the circumstances raised in your correspondence and have madethe decision to not cancel your notice. The reasons for my decision are set out below,along with the options available to you at this stage.You have stated in your correspondence that as the alleged contravention took place on16/08/2024 and the date of the notice was 12/09/2024, you believe that this PCNcontravenes the Limitation on Service as per the act above- London Local Authoritiesand Transport for London Act 2003 - Part 2, and therefore should be cancelled.Please be advised that the notice falls well within the 28 day limit. Additionally, I wouldadvise that if the DVLA keep us waiting for keeper details, we have up to 6 months inwhich to send the PCN. This is in accordance with the London Local Authorities Act2003 Part 2 Subsection 6. In this instance, the PCN was sent within 28days are nogrounds in which to cancel the charge”. They then reiterate the options I have, including a 14 day discount period to pay from today. I am thinking that I will have to just take the hit and pay it at this point, unless anyone has any bright ideas. The appeal process and extra time it has bought at least got me to next payday so it’s less of an issue.

My name and address.

I am not in possession of the V5, presumably the company I lease the vehicle from has it, the car remains their property. I am only the registered keeper.

“OP, are you the registered keeper?”I am the registered keeper, just not the registered owner (leased vehicle).

Should be the 25/26th of September

That seems to settle it then. Guess this is just one I’ll have to take the hit for, it is my fault after all. Thanks all for taking a look though

Yeah I thought that might be the case and that I was probably grasping at straws hoping for a way out. Will wait and see if anyone sees anything with the PCN or any technicality I could use, we just had a costly cancer scare with one of our cats so it would be great to avoid this expense but it is what it is. 

Hey all, Received this PCN, after viewing evidence it seems that I did get caught off and ended up with vehicle partially in the box. Was bringing it back from service and unfamiliar with the junction. In hindsight and viewed from that angle I should have just moved into the space on either side to get out of the box. In the video viewable on the council website you can even see that I tried to edge forward even further to get out of the box upon realising. Anyway, just looking to see if I have any grounds at all for appeal as I really cannot afford this right now. Any advice is appreciated! PCN and photo evidence here: https://imgur.com/a/Csxu3UAThanks.
