PCNs

What is a Parking Charge Notice?

A Parking Charge Notice (PCNs) is the result of a parking infringement on private land or in a car park which is operated by private organisations on behalf of the landowner.

What if I was not the driver at the time the PCN was issued?

The majority of the unpaid PCNs that we pursue are issued in accordance with section 56 and schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012

I have received a letter addressed to someone that doesn’t live at my address?

If you have received a letter from us but you are not the person named on the letter then please complete our contact form.

Can I appeal this PCN?

The opportunity to appeal this charge was clearly stated on the original PCN and subsequent reminder letters that were sent from the parking company. Unfortunately, now that the outstanding PCN is at the debt recovery stage, the time to appeal has now passed and no further appeal can be made.

I have a disabled (blue) badge. Does this mean I am exempt from the Terms and Conditions?

No. When you received your blue badge you also received a handbook which sets out the terms and conditions of its use.

How have you obtained my data?

There are several ways in which parking companies can lawfully collect personal data in the recovery of an unpaid parking charge (PCN).
