Contest PCM Parking Charge Notice the Easy Way

Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd is a parking enforcement agency that offers parking services, management, and solutions to residential and commercial clients in their private parking bays.

PCM offers parking tickets to all car park users to freely use the parking lots. You earn a parking charge notice (PCN) if you park in a private car park without a valid PCM parking ticket. You can get rid of the PCN by paying off the fines or disputing the ticket armed with valid evidence.

You can appeal the PCM parking charge notice online through the PCM website or by writing a letter. DoNotPay helps you appeal your PCN faster by drafting a quick and precise appeal letter. Sign up on our website and utilise the Parking Ticket product to fasten your ticket appeal application.

How Do I Challenge a PCM Parking Charge Notice?

You can challenge a PCM parking charge through two different ways:

1. Dispute Your Parking Charge Online

To file a complaint against a PCM PCN, log onto the Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd official website, click on services, then go to 'enforcement, appeals, and debt management'. Scroll down to the 'appeal a PCN section' and fill out the form provided by clicking on the button.

You should appeal your ticket within 24 hours after receiving the PCN.

2. Writing a Letter to Dispute Your Parking Ticket

If you cannot appeal your PCN online, you can opt to write to PCM and send the letter to:

Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd, The Courtyard, 1a Cranbourne Road, Slough, SL1 2XF

You will receive the results of your appeal after 14 days. You can challenge the first appeal verdict through an Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme provided by the Independent Appeals Service (IAS).

The IAS has a panel of legally trained solicitors who will review your appeal application. You can petition as a third party only if the vehicle owner or the driver has submitted a written and signed authority to PCM through the mail.

Contact PCM through a direct call if you do not receive a response on your appeal within 14 days.

If you get a PCN on a vehicle that you sold, you need to prove that you sold the car. Attach the following documents to your appeal letter:

• Documents showing transfer of vehicle ownership
• Full name and active address to the current owner of the vehicle

You need to provide your vehicle registration and Parking Charge Notice number when paying or appealing your PCN.

In summary, here’s a table on the contact information for PCM when you dispute your PCN:

Reasons to Dispute a PCM Parking Charge Notice

Ignoring your PCN affects your credit rating, making it hard for you to apply for a credit card, mortgage, or any form of financial services. You should pay your PCN within 14 days of ticket issuance or petition it through the provided channels.

• The paying machines were not working, and there is no way you could have paid the parking fees
• PCM is not responsible for the car park you got charged on
• You made a keying error (that you can prove) while paying
• You were unfairly charged
