Penalty charge notice issued

[Buby x]

My son, last night, received a PCN whilst he was parked in an NCP carpark.

He was not parked in the bay properly. He was about 12 inches over the white line onto the parking bay next to it. He arrived at the car park about 6.45 p.m. and the level he was on had approx 6 cars in it. They are saying the fine is £50 but if you pay within 14 days it will be only £25.

Is this enforcable or do they threaten with court action to make you pay but never actually go to court.

Is it a council car park (being operated on their behalf by NCP) or is it a private run car park? The PCN will clearly show it is issued for a council and quote traffic regs that are being applied. If it is a completely private "invoice" (they can't issue official PCNs) then best place for it at the moment is in the bottom of a drawer and forget about it for now.

unfortuneately for me it has been issued on behalf of Clchester Boorugh council. Think my son will just have to pay it then.

yeah, the amounts asked for tally with that.

 

Why pay though. Show me it cos NCP make mistakes on Council PCNs.

I second that - have seen abysmal NCP/council paperwork. (some good as well).

I'll try and upload the notice.

It was for parking beyond the bay but there was no signs up to say that they will issue a ticket if you don't park within the lines.

I'm not sure if this will give you the PCN as I've never used anything like this before

[Buby x]

I don't think the post above has worked. I've managed to get the PCN on photobucket but I can't put the picture on my post. Anyone able to assist.

TY

thats all there was the bit on the right was attached to the bit on the left but I seperated them so I could scan it.

Not sure what else you'd like to see

Thank you

[Guest Ting]

LOL The rest of it. It doesn't just say that does it!

 

If the back of that (legal document) is blank then it's certainly a winner but I suspect it might say a few things.

 

(Sorry, just fed up with the fact that about the last six i've checked have been all ok - very unusual)

Thank goodness I've done it

So what do you think

I don't think its right that there are no signs in the carpark about parking correctly or you'll recive a fine.

And there was only about six spaces being used at that time.

Grrrrrrrrrr. These Councils are winding me up today! It's ok.

 

I had a brief issue where they talk about 'their agent' dealing with matters at the NtO stage but actually i think they can do that - not 100% sure. i'll look if i get time.

 

On signage - well it has to be clear and that's about it. Can't see you'd get anywhere saying you needed telling to park within a bay.

 

Never mind, you learnt a lot along the way. I'm an IT numpty too and the first time I got an image up i was ecstatic!

Oh well. Thank you so much for looking at it for me
