Thank you! I will do this by standard mail, with it being paid I do not have the option to challenge it online. It will be a chunky letter if I am including the lease contract.Quote from: H C Andersen on 17 Jun, 2025 14:22We have subsequently been advised that we could have made representations to the authority to which end we have now authorised ****** to make representations on our behalf for the purpose of relieving us of liability and giving you the opportunity to enforce against **** direct(see enclosed letter of authority) The council's financial position would be neutral in this matter because we paid at the discount which you could be able to recover from ***** in any event. ...In our case (c)(ii) applies because on the detection date the vehicle was on long-term lease to ***** who therefore became the 'owner' for the purposes of Regulation 2(2) of The Bus Lane Contraventions (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2005 by virtue of being the person by whom the vehicle was kept.Am I correct in assuming all the *** get replaced with my name?Quote from: H C Andersen on 17 Jun, 2025 14:22The council should refund the sum of *** as follows ********.I don't have Hyundai's details for refund, would it be me again?

Hello again,I have written to Hyundai and pointed out what the agremeent said. I also said that by paying they have removed my right of appeal and admitted liability.They have now came back to say that issuing authorities are no longer accepting the transfer of liability on fines and they paid at the discounted rate to avoid them from escalating. They are saying they will review the charges internally if I tell them my grounds for appeal.I have looked it up and it seems Reading Council are indeed not accepting transfer of liability, but they still didn't even try to let me know before paying. There's a 21 day period where you can pay half, they told me they pad 12 days after the date of notice.Is there anything I can go back to them with?Thanks!

Where possible we will transfer liability for any fines orpenalties direct to you.I should've looked at that before! They did not offer me the opportunity to pay or challenge the PCN.

Good morning and thank you in advance for your help!  I'll start by saying that the car I am driving is a contract hire and Hyundai already paid the fine on my behalf,but also gave me a letter of authorisation in case I want to make an appeal. I didn't think I could appeal a PCN that has already been paid, so that's why I am including this info. The fine was issued because I enetered the lane too early. I rememeber realising I did that and mentioning it to my partner at the time.  The PCN is linked below, there's a picture included. The position of the car shows that I have just entered the lane. Would it be worth it to appeal on the basis that I did not interfere with or block bus travel (no buses around), and the lane ended several feet from where I contravened?PCNThank you!
