Question flow: ticket type → area → stage → council & PCN → grounds → your details.

1. Ticket type What did you receive?

Council PCNs are usually headed with a council name and refer to a Penalty Charge Notice under civil enforcement — not a private “parking charge notice”.

2. Area Where was the PCN issued?

3. Stage Which letter do you need?

GOV.UK: on-the-spot council PCN → informal challenge; postal / Notice to Owner → formal representation. You generally have 28 days to challenge a PCN; challenging within 14 days may preserve a 50% discount if rejected — check your notice.

4. Council & PCN Council / enforcement authority Challenge / representations email or postal address PCN number Vehicle registration (VRM) Date / time of alleged contravention Location Alleged contravention (as on PCN) How was the PCN served? Your role

5. Grounds

Select all that may apply. At informal stage, councils may also cancel for discretion / mitigation. At tribunal, adjudicators generally need a statutory ground to allow an appeal (TPT grounds · London Tribunals process).

Contravention did not occur (signs/lines, payment, Blue Badge, loading, etc.) Not the owner at the relevant time Vehicle used without owner’s consent Hire firm — qualifying liability statement Penalty exceeded the applicable amount Procedural impropriety Traffic order invalid Postal service issue (CEO not prevented from serving at scene) Penalty already paid Other compelling reasons / mitigation Explain how your selected ground(s) apply Short timeline of what happened Extra mitigation (optional) Evidence list

6. Your details Full name Address line 1 Address line 2 Postcode Email Phone Letter date
