Make a formal representation on a Penalty Charge Notice

If you do not pay or challenge your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) within the first 28 days after it is issued, we will issue a written reminder called a Notice to Owner or an Enforcement Notice giving you an option to either pay the PCN or make a formal representation.

You can only make formal representations to us after receiving a Notice to Owner or an Enforcement Notice. Representations must be made on one of the grounds set out on the Notice to Owner or Enforcement Notice.

We will investigate the points raised in your representation and will make a decision as to whether or not grounds have been met. If they have, you will receive a Notice of Acceptance and the PCN will be cancelled.

If the PCN is not cancelled, you will be told the reasons why and sent a form that will allow you to appeal to the Parking Adjudicators if you disagree with our decision.

We are required to respond to your representation within 56 days of receipt.
