Challenging a Penalty Charge Notice
If you wish to dispute a penalty charge notice
you must do so in writing and send it to:
The Atrium,
137 Glover Street,
Perth,
PH2 0HY
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.
