Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I have seen a pcn being pursued by TFL which is worded "The Penalty Charge
£100 is payable before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this notice."
From previous posts on this section surely the wording should be "beginning with the date of this notice"."
If the wording is wrong, is that sufficeint to make that PCN invalid please?
Thanks for the quick response. it says Road Traffic Act 1991 [as amended]and Local Authorities Act 2000. Goes on to say "It was detected by an enforcement camera and has been recorded on video."
If it is a parking pcn based on CCTV, it is invalid as it states the wrong timescale for payment as you say. This is a known problem with TfL CCTV based parking PCNs. The adjudicator would definitely rule Fn your favour on this - see the Pulp Faction case on the Pepipoo site.
Legaladviser-are you sure on this?
We are still waiting a response from the Council, but in the Road Traffic Act 1991, it does state that when a ticket is issued by a CCTV operator, then the pcn should say that the time starts from the date the PCN was served.
If issued by a warden, then the 28 days does start from the date of the PCN.
Or have I got it all wrong?
Surely thsi PCN is worded wrongly?
