How Long Do You Have to Pay a Penalty Charge Notice?
You will generally have:
- 14 days to pay if a parking warden issued the notice
- 21 days to pay if the notice was issued by a CCTV camera operator
You will need to make arrangements to pay or challenge a PCN as soon as possible to avoid further fines and penalties.
