Everything You Need to Know About Lewisham PCN Appeals

Receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) can be incredibly frustrating. If the ticket was issued by mistake, it may be worthwhile to file a Lewisham PCN appeal. After all, authorities and private parking operators are not entirely immune to committing a mistake or two when issuing a PCN. In many situations, these mistakes can be grounds for successfully appealing.

Some offenders may choose to simply pay the fine in the hopes of averting any further trouble. While some may opt to file a dispute, this may not be as easily done. The dispute process can be confusing and complex. Lucky for you, DoNotPay can help you submit an effective appeal.

Whether the PCN was issued in Lewisham, London, Islington, Birmingham, or any other part of the UK, DoNotPay’s streamlined process allows for a smooth filing of the appeal. Making the dispute easier to deal with for motorists like you.

Receiving a Penalty Charge Notice in Lewisham

PCNs will be issued to drivers who break parking violations, both on the public highway or in a public car park. In most cases, the PCN will be left on the vehicle. However, the council has the authority to mail a PCN within 28 days of the parking incident.

Here are some important details to consider as well:

• The amount owed should be clearly displayed on the PCN. The fine amount is typically between £80 and £130.
• Discounts are made available if paid within 14 days.
• Failure to pay after 28 days will result in a "Notice to Owner" letter to the registered keeper of the vehicle. This tends to increase the fine amount by 50%.
• On red routes, PCNs are issued by Metropolitan Police traffic wardens. NSL Services issues PCNs on all other roads in the borough.

Common Causes For Receiving a PCN in Lewisham
