Hello
I was hoping someone could help me as to whether local authorities are allowed to do this.....
I found a pcn on my car at home this morning. The notice was for an alleged offence the day before.
The pcn was not served on my car on the street, nor did anyone attept to serve it to me personally.
The attendant has obviously tracked down where I live and come to my house the following morning and put the pcn on my car. Is this legal or can I appeal? I thought pcns could only be served in situ.
Thanks
C.
Um, no. The council cannot do that!
Until the new rules come in, the pcn must be attached to the vehicle or handed to the driver at the time of the contravention.
You should definitely appeal. Is this definitely a council ticket and not a private one?
Hi Robin
Thanks for that
I've spoken to the council who issues the ticket and they have said they don't have the means of tracking down where i live to do that - so it looks like they are being even more dodgy now.
i know full well the ticket was not on my car the day before when it states it was served, as I've driven 4 times since the time they said they put it on the car and the time i discovered it. I'm really not that stupid not to notice it stuck in the middle of my windscreen.
Thanks for all your help
C.
Of course they have the means to track you down! They simply ask the DVLA who the registered keeper of the vehicle is. How else would they know where to send NtOs etc? OK, so that shouldn't have happened in your case, but councils never abuse their powers do they?
PCN served at my home not on the street
on my car at home this morning. The notice was for an alleged offence the day before.
