Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Surrey County Council - 27 Parked in a special enforcement area adjacent to a footway cycletrack or verge lowered
« on: February 13, 2025, 10:14:23 am »
Thank you all once again for your time and input  :)

I never received the PCN via post, nor did I see it on the vehicle. The first time I was made aware of this is when I received the NTO.

I'll leave in the bit regarding the service of the pcn being the incorrect date, and perhaps use this as a way to try and get the original discounted fee. I'll take responsibility for my mistake in parking on a lowered verge, I'd just like to pay the original fee instead as that method was never awarded to me.

I'd be grateful if anyone could help me draft up a representation to them.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Many thanks for all your input. I've drafted a letter challenging the procedural process of the ticket:

"I am writing to formally challenge Penalty Charge Notice RR02573792 issued to my vehicle PK59 RHA. I wish to contest this charge on the grounds of procedural impropriety by the enforcement authority.

Grounds for Representation
The Notice to Owner (NTO) states that the date of service of the PCN is 5th February 2025. However, the Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) placed the PCN on my vehicle on 1st January 2025. This significant discrepancy suggests an administrative error and raises concerns about the validity of the enforcement process.

Under Regulation 19 of The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General Regulations 2007, a Notice to Owner must be served no later than 28 days after the PCN was issued. Given that the PCN was placed on my vehicle on 1st January 2025, the deadline for issuing an NTO should have been by 29th January 2025. However, the NTO I received was dated 3rd February 2025, suggesting a failure to comply with statutory timeframes.

Furthermore, the council’s claim that the service date of the PCN is 5th February 2025 is factually incorrect, as I was issued the PCN on 1st January 2025. This misrepresentation could result in an unfair extension of enforcement deadlines, putting me at a disadvantage in responding to the charge.

Request for Cancellation
Due to this procedural impropriety and the inconsistency in the dates provided by the council, I kindly request that this Penalty Charge Notice be cancelled with immediate effect.

I would appreciate written confirmation that the charge has been revoked. Should my representation be rejected, I request a full explanation addressing the discrepancy in dates and confirmation of my right to appeal to the independent adjudicator at the Traffic Penalty Tribunal."

Thank you everyone for your input, it's greatly appreciated. I've clearly made a mistake and have parked in an enforcement area however, I've honestly not received the first initial notice. Both my wife and I haven't seen a letter from the council regarding it. Can I please be advised on the best way to approach this with the council? Thank you.

Also, I've uploaded the other 2 pages of the PCN.

Have a read of this :-

I hope that you've retaxed your vehicle now (expired 3 days ago)

The vehicle has since been part ex'd. I've read through the guideline post, and not aware of any issues on my end regarding the post? Would you mind pointing out to me the issue?

Thank you.

Hi everyone.

Hope you're all well.

I didn't have enough space for the title, and the last contravention should read as "verge lowered to meet the level of the carriageway"

I received a PCN from Surrey County Council relating to the above contravention, and would like some on advice on how I can make a representation if possible.

The space itself is unmarked, and there is no signage on my road whatsoever. It's a place used to park by many residents on my road due to the lack of "ordinary bays". I and many others have been parked there for a number of years without any issue, and seeing as the alleged contravention took place on new years day, it would lead me to believe it was a money making exercise relating to the holiday period.

Also, this is a second "warning" letter after I failed to receive the initial one.
