Invalid PCN? Misspelled Name

[gav1857]

I've just discovered a PCN from TfL...

 

They have misspelled my surname on the PCN. Does this invalidate the ticket?

hi, there is plenty of good advice on this site explaining what to do in these situation, the majority which i agree with advising not to pay and how to go about doing it. I found this by browsing which might help.

 

MIS-SPELLING OF KEEPER’S NAME:

The mis-spelling of the keeper’s name and/or address on the notice to owner

does not invalidate it or discharge the liability of the person receiving it. The

onus is still on the genuine keeper to deal with the matter. Such names and

addresses are, in most cases, obtained from the DVLA and are supplied by the

keepers themselves. It is also incumbent upon the keeper to ensure that these

are correct. If any mis-spelling is discovered then alterations must be made

immediately to ensure that future notices are sent out correctly. When the misspelling

is severe and is radically different from the correct spelling consideration

should be given to the cancellation of the PCN.

 

Hope it helps and i am sure someone else wil be along to help out

Thanks for help.

 

The error here, I think, is with DVLA.

 

I have recently moved house and have updated my address on the car's registration. I've just checked my new certificate and it has the incorrect spelling!

 

I fear that this may invalidate my objections - though the error is not mine, neither is it TfL's...

 

Unless anyone else can offer more positive news?

Not sure what you mean.

If you want to hear how some of us may choose to fight your ticket if we had it then scan, wash and post every side of what you have and listen to the advice that comes.
