Appeal a Greenwich Penalty Charge Notice Without a Lawyer

In Greenwich, penalty charge notices (also known as PCN) are given to drivers that have committed a Greenwich council parking violation. Just as with other councils in the UK, such as Birmingham and Islington, penalty charge notices can even sometimes be given due to certain driving offences as well. Receiving a Greenwich PCN is similar to that receiving a parking ticket in areas around the United States, such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle. This is due to the fact that there are different options on how to deal with them. What should you do if you receive a Greenwich parking ticket? And should you pay or dispute these penalty charge notices? Here is DoNotPay's guide on successfully dealing with a Greenwich penalty charge notice.

Receiving a Penalty Charge Notice in Greenwich

Penalty charge notices are given in Greenwich when a vehicle is parked against the rules and regulations of the borough of Greenwich. Again, they are similar to parking tickets that can be received in the United States, in cities, such as New York City and even San Jose. A PCN can be issued to vehicles that are either parked in the street or in a car park. When it comes to dealing with a Greenwich PCN, you have two options. Greenwich gives you the option to pay or dispute the fine. Let's take a closer at these two courses of action.

How to Pay a Greenwich Parking Fine

If you choose to pay the PCN, you have several choices on how to do so; and they are as follows:

By Telephone

Greenwich gives you the option to pay by calling their automated telephone service number. The number to call is as follows:

• 0300 332 0202

This option is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. This makes it a convenient option for paying your penalty charge notice. However, you will need your PCN number as well as your vehicle registration number available to make the process go smoothly.

By Post

Another option for paying your penalty charge notice is by sending a cheque or postal order to the Royal Borough of Greenwich. You must include on the back of the cheque or postal order your PCN number and the vehicle's registration number. The following is the address at which to send the payment:

Parking Services

Royal Borough of Greenwich

P.O. Box 4773

London SE18 6YD

In-Person

You also have the option to pay a Greenwich penalty charge notice in person. There are two locations in which you can do this. The following are the addresses for each available location:

• Woolwich Centre

35 Wellington Street

London SE18 6HQ

• Eltham Centre

2 Archery Road

London SE9 1HA

At each centre, you will need to make an appointment in advance. Currently, the Woolwich Centre is only allowing PCN payments through their self-service kiosks for payments in-person; however, cashiers are available between 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday.

Online

Additionally, you have the option to pay your penalty charge notice online. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Royal Borough of Greenwich website.
2. Click on the ‘Make a Payment’ tab located on the top right.
3. Once there, scroll down and click on the ‘Parking Fines’ tab.
4. It will take you to a screen where you can log in with your PCN number and vehicle registration number to see your fine and pay the ticket.

How to Challenge a Parking Ticket in Greenwich on Your Own

As with other PCN fines, such as with TFL penalty charge notices, you have the option to dispute your PCN. In Greenwich, there are two ways to appeal a ticket, and how to dispute the ticket is dependent on when you received the PCN. The two options are as follows:

However, if it has been 28 days or less since you receive the PCN, you can make an initial dispute instead of waiting for the Notice to Owner form. Also, if your vehicle has been impounded due to a parking violation, you will need to first pay for the vehicle to be released before you can challenge or dispute a penalty charge notice.

It can be confusing when trying to figure out how to deal with a Greenwich PCN. It can also be time-consuming and difficult in trying to get the right information out in a timely manner. What if dealing with a PCN was made much more simple, all the while having a guide throughout the entire process? That is where DoNotPay comes in.
