Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / PCN for yellow box junction
« on: September 07, 2023, 03:36:23 pm »
Hello there, I'm hoping someone can help.
I received a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from my local council for driving into a yellow box junction in my Motability vehicle.
The weird thing was, the address the PCN was sent to is my old address. Thankfully, I have my mail on redirect, but I haven't lived at that address since June 2022.
Does this make the PCN invalid if it is sent to the incorrect address?
I've checked with Motability who take care of all the vehicle registration details and they've confirmed the V5 is registered at my current address and not the one on the PCN. I'm also on the electoral register at my new address.
Also, for what it's worth, there have been extensive road works on the road just after where the yellow box was - I'm not sure if that'll help me plead my case or not!
Any advice on what I may be able to write back with would be great appreciated. I've never received a ticket for being in a yellow box junction before so am quite gutted.
I've attached the link to the PCN to this message here: https://imgur.com/a/cioZNCy

Many thanks!
