Hello All,
I have recieved a PCN for using a route to certain vehicles while i was looking for on the road parking, i stepped into the lane not relaizing it was only bus/taxi lane.
The PCN was issued on the 9 may 2024 and contravention date was 13-04-2024
When i calculate the days its coming to be 28 days on the 10 and 11 to be 29 days can i dispute the PCN based on that.
Regards,
Bob

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/2003/3/section/6/enacted(1)Subject to the provisions of this section, no penalty charge notice may be served under this Act after the expiry of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the alleged contravention or failure to comply occurred.
Contravention 13/04/2024
PCN Date 09/05/2024
Presumed Service 13/05/2024
32 days.
Unless it's a hired vehicle that's your appeal--- OOT.

Thanks for the reply Mike, just to understand if the notice is issued on 9th it cannot be presumed to arrive or deemed on 10th Friday (working day) 11th saturday (working day) - 2 working days?
Also this is a personal vehicle with v5 on my name
Yes, service takes place in two working days----doesnt include weekend--so posted on a Thursday brings you to Monday as the date of service.

Of course don't be surprised if the council rejects, some council officers are too thick to understand the difference between the date of the notice and the date of service of the notice. If the representation is rejected you should pursue a costs order against the council.
thanks all for sharing feedback, i have recieved the reply from the council ,
please find below
Could you help with the next process
- how to appeal
- Do i have to pay the complete sum if i loose in court
- Can i recieve any points for this contravention as i have done the same mistake 2 more times and got a pcn.

The rejection is drivel because the PCN was not served on the day it was issued, you should obviously appeal as the council's case is hopeless.
I'll drop you a PM in case you'd like to be represented.
