apologies, i know my statements arnt exactly 100% clear, but I am not quite sure what you are saying / asking. It appears that they are trying to immitate a Penalty Charge Notice (by shape, size, issue criteria and name). But they are not enforceable in any way as there is no legislative backing. They are issuing the Parking Charge because they say you have parked illegally. (you havent but thats not the point)

For your reference, that which EPC issue - Parking Charge Notices do not exist in law. FPN - Fixed Penalty Notice - Police SCT - Standard Charge Ticket - Parking ticket under 1984 RTA PCN - Penalty Charge Notice - Parking ticket under 1991 RTA and TMA 2004 ECN - Excess Charge Notice - Parking Ticket under 1984 RTA (less used) EPC are clearly trying to be sneaky by calling it a Parking Charge Notice, I bet they didnt issue any of these before 1991! The four listed above generally should be paid, unless there missing signs, incorrectly worded ticket etc etc etc. Do not pay Parking Charge Notices, there is no legal backing to them.
