Challenging a Penalty Charge Notice
If you wish to dispute a penalty charge notice you must do so in writing and if your letter is received within 14 days of the date of issue, the cost will be held at the reduced sum of £30 until your letter is responded to.
If the penalty charge notice is not paid within 28 days of the date of issue a "Notice To Owner" will be sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle. This will request payment of the £60 but also explain how to dispute the penalty charge notice should you wish to do so.
If you choose to dispute the penalty charge notice at this stage you will have to do so in writing. If you are successful you will be informed that the penalty charge notice has been cancelled and that you need take no further action.
However, if you are unsuccessful the full payment of £60 will become due.
Appealing to an Independent Adjudicator
If your written representation is not successful and you do not accept the decision, you can appeal to an independent adjudicator. Details of how to do this will be provided along with the rejection letter.
