Free Traffic Legal Advice

Dear All,

Quick update on the situation, I appealed (as per instructions) to the IAS and now Operator has responded with these documents.

I’ve removed all personal details from the Transfer of Liability notices. Could you please look through everything, especially the “CCTV Footage and Response” documents for both appeals and let me know what you think the next steps should be? I’m not sure whether I should send anything further at this stage or just move straight to arbitration.

As I mentioned before, I was expecting more PCNs because there were several visits to this location up until the first week of January. The hirer told me last night that another notice has arrived (again, hirer was not the driver but present in the vehicle in all occasions). This one relates to an incident that happened two days earlier than the previous PCNs, so I’m not sure why it took them over six weeks to send it out. I’m wondering if that delay helps our case in any way.

I’ll probably receive the actual PCN in a week or two. In the meantime, I’m unsure whether to follow the same process as the earlier ones or just pay this one, especially if more are still on the way.

To be honest, I’m getting a bit anxious about how many more might show up and what could happen if this ends up going to court. Any guidance on how to handle this without letting it spiral would be really appreciated.

Best Regards

Dear All,
Quick update on the situation.

As expected, the IAS has rejected both the appeals. Interestingly, I received “ACTION REQUIRED TODAY” letters from TNC for each PCN about a week before the IAS even issued their decisions. Shortly after, TNC sent two “Notice of Intention to Instruct Solicitors” letters, which I’ve attached for reference.
In addition to the original two PCNs, I’ve now received three more for the same location and circumstances, bringing the total to five so far. My intention is to challenge the remaining PCNs in the same way unless advised otherwise.
At this stage, I have not received any Letter of Claim. Am I expected to take any action in response to these threatening letters from TNC, or is this simply part of their standard escalation process? I’d appreciate any advice on what my next steps should be, aside from continuing to contest the new PCNs that may still be on the way.
Thanks in advance for your help.
