Incorrect details on PCN - help needed

[Dirtysocks]

I received a PCN from TfL through the post because i left my car (in a delivery area) to do a delivery. They have a CCTV picture of my car parked with the headlights on. The PCN states that i was in SW London at that time however me and the car were delivering goods in East London.

Im sure that this would mean the PCN is invalid as (in their own words) 'the contravention did not occur' in SW London but it probably did in East London (i am yet to go back and check the signage on the road). If i appeal, can they go back and send me another notice with the correct details on it? Can you be PCN'd(?) twice for the same offence?

Is it better to email my response before the 14 days is up or should i wait until they send me a notice to owner?


Any/All advice is appreciated.

1st thing you need to do is post a scan of the PCN/NTO with all personal data obscured. there is another forum you could post to at Pepipoo where it might not get lost in the volumes.

i dont have access to a scanner so thats not possible - i can list details on here if that will help?

If any details on a PCN are incorrect, then it is invalid. You cannot get a second PCN for the same "offence".
You should appeal straight away as they may cancel the ticket once they see their mistake. If they don't, then you can go to appeal and would almost certainly win. Additionally, if you are loading, you should be observed for 15 minutes (of inactivity) before a ticket can be issued.

There is no such regulation that states this it is down to each Councils policy.

Hence my use of the word "should" rather than "must"

Who says 15 mins 'should' be given? The average time given is usually 5 mins.

If there is incorrect info on it then it should be invalid.I had two parking tickets written off last year as the parking attendant had put down the wrong street name on them
