Hello I am in need of some advice please I received a pcn for not displaying a valid ticket. but I had bought a ticket it had fallen off my windscreen and landed on my dash.

I filled a dispute and they emailed me back saying can they se the ticket i sent email back with ticket attached, also i went in person with a copy of email and ticket.

thing is the price is £25 pounds but in the email i received it says i have 14 days from the email date or it goes up I think to £50

Thing is I just don't know if to pay or not as they are taking ages and if they say know then I owe more money what do you people think i should do with this

Thanks for any help

Don't Worry, If Your Appeal Is Rejected ThE 14 Day Reduced Price Period Is Reset. So If They Took A Month Respond, You Would Silo Have 14 Days From Date Of Response To Pay The 15 Or Whatever It Is

Thanks for your replay I did not realise that I have not had a decision as of yet I followed there instructions and ticket fell off the windscreen not sure if i will win or not but thanks for your help

Make sure you have a copy of the ticket (possibly going to the expense of a solicitor witness you have it) before sending it to the LA.

They have no scruples and may destroy anything they receive through the post, continuing their action to fleece you..

If you want to put your mind at rest, phone them in the morning and confirm the case is on hold for the moment, pending a decision.

Why would anyone in their right mind pay a solicitor when the actual cost of the PCN is only £25??

A tenner to prove the ticket exists is better than having the council claim the ticket never arrived.

That's ridiculous. You don't need to employ a solicitor to challenge a PCN.

A photocopy costs a few pence!

That's great news. If the ticket said 'attach to windscreen' then it fell off, hardly your fault is it ?
