Free Traffic Legal Advice

You need to read what it says on the PCN. This legal process has been in operation for minor traffic and parking offences since 1991. Best pay up as Stamfordman says before the bailiffs get involved and start adding on their costs.

No offence old chap but an unnecessary response to a simple tongue in cheek remark imho

Quick version, around 3.5 years ago I received a pcn for an ltn contravention, I was not the driver and advised London borough of hounslow who the driver was.

there may have been another letter to which I responded. 3 years later I received an order for payment and filled in a statutory declaration that no "notice of rejection" had been received.

I then got a letter essentially asking for my version of events to decide if an appeal was in order.

I pointed out again that I was not the driver and due to the passage of time no one could remember who was driving, the time of the alleged contravention was a minute or two before the road would be open for everyone so as far as we were concerned either the signage was inadequate or not sufficiently visible in the conditions or that the vehicle clock was incorrect to the extent that the driver would have been under the impression that no offence was being committed. Furthermore due to the passage of time and lack of rejection notice no information had been kept, dashcam footage - if any - would have been overwritten or the sd card used for something else. The computer which would have contained copies of any correspondence or information had failed and been disposed of. I was therefore unable to present an evidence based defence due to the passage of time and therefore the pcn should be cancelled.

An appeal was processed although the adjudicator appears to have ignored my representations and the appeal was unsuccessful.

I strongly object to being bullied into paying for something I was not party to and wondered if there was any basis to take the matter to a proper court.
