Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Ealing PCN - 53J - High Lane, Hanwell

I'm no expert but the fact that the letter says "date of notice" being when the clock starts ticking for the discount, instead of date of SERVICE of the notice, means that the letter is non-compliant i believe.
The law allows for a discount. They can't be reducing the length of time you have. "Date of service" is a legally defined concept. Good luck

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Oxford, PCN road charging scheme

I drove into the Oxford congestion charge zone on 13 February. I only remembered about the charge on 15 Feb by which time it was too late to pay.

I have been sent a PCN. Hopefully it shows up here https://imgpile.com/p/ttvxDVR

I did drive in the congestion zone. I should have paid. I am hoping that the wording of the PCN may be non-compliant. I remember from the days of pepipoo that the key legal wording was "date of service" of the letter. Here it says "delivery". But it means the same thing so I'm probably clutching at straws. There's also a little superscript 1 but there's no accompanying note.

Worth challenging or just shut up and pay?

Hope you managed to successfully challenge this. I did because they had addressed the PCN to a company secretary who doesn’t exist. It’s a rotten place to get done.
