1. Visit the Hackney Council Website - In order to start the process of paying your parking fine, you will want to first visit the council website.

Typical costs for PCNs in Hackney are either £80 or £130, depending on the type of PCN you receive.

How Can I Challenge a Parking Fine?

If you want to dispute a Hackney PCN you have received, you can go online to the council website and go to the Dispute Your Penalty Charge page. The council does not accept disputes by phone or email.

You can use the website to submit a dispute, and evidence and check to make sure your dispute has been received. The website also provides any evidence that led to issuing the PCN, such as photos, videos, or detailed reports.

If you are unsure that you qualify to file a dispute, the website has a FAQ that will help you determine your ability to file an appeal to your ticket.

Reasons for Disputing a Parking Fine

You should not have to pay a parking fine that you think was issued to you in error. There are many reasons that a parking fine could be appealed successfully with you having to pay the charge. Some of these reasons may include:

• The vehicle not belonging to you or that you weren't driving it at the time of the offence
• Missing or confusing road signs
• Missing or confusing road markings
• Your vehicle was stolen at the time of the offence

What Happens if You Don’t Pay a Fine in Hackney?

Like many other councils in the UK, if you choose to not pay your fine or forget to pay it, you may be subject to additional costs. Hackney provides the ability to reduce the cost of the ticket if you pay within either 14 or 21 days, depending on the ticket type. After that, you will have to pay the full cost of the fine.

After 28 days, you may be subject to additional charges being added to your fine. If you continue to ignore the situation, you could pay much more, or you may have to face the council in court. If it gets to the point where an enforcement agent must get involved, you will not only have to pay serious fines, but you may also be subject to goods being removed from your property to pay the fine.
