Leicester is a city located in the East Midlands of England and is known for its rich arts and culture, being home to many galleries, museums and universities. The Leicester City Council collects fines from penalty charge notices, or traffic tickets when motorists fail to comply with parking regulations. Sometimes, if a Leicester PCN is issued with incorrect information, issued to the wrong person or otherwise unfair or incorrect, a challenge or appeal may be made. The process requires that you have evidence to back up your claim and can prepare a written appeal.

Why You May Have Received a PCN From Leicester

Of course, each case is different, but some reasons that PCNs are issued are more common than others. For example, some common reasons are:

• Parking in a restricted area such as a bus lane, a disabled parking space or on a yellow line.
• Parking incorrectly in a car park bay.
• Not purchasing a parking permit, or leaving your car parked in a space longer than the permit allows.
• Not displaying your permit in your windscreen or not displaying a disabled badge and parking in a disabled bay.
• Not obeying any other parking rules or laws.

Reasons Why You Want to Appeal Your PCN Leicester

No one wants to be treated unfairly or charged for something incorrectly. That is why there is a process in place to appeal your PCN issued in Leicester. Some reasons may be acceptable if adequate evidence is supplied within the timeframe.

1. You are not the owner of the car that is being ticketed. If you received a PCN via post, it may have been sent in error because you were the prior owner of the car. By providing proof of sale, you may be able to appeal the charge.
2. If you can prove that there was no way to pay for parking, such as a broken machine or no lot attendant, you may have grounds for appeal.
3. You can appeal if you were served notice after the first fourteen days of the offence.
4. If you received the charge and you can provide proof that you were parked correctly.
5. You were overcharged for the offence.

How to Challenge a PCN Leicester on Your Own

Appeals must take place within 28 days of the date of the notice. You can begin by submitting an informal written challenge against the issuing of a PCN before the first formal stage of the process and the Notice to Owner has been issued. Informal challenges are considered and a response will be made. If you want to challenge a PCN on your own, you can do so by going online with supporting evidence as to the reasons you are making the challenge. If the challenge is accepted, your PCN will be cancelled and we will send correspondence to you to confirm this.

If your challenge is rejected, you will receive a response from the council stating the reasons your appeal was rejected and listing the amount you still need to pay. If you are unhappy with that response and want to challenge the decision, you can make a formal representation as part of the PCN process, by completing and returning the Notice to Owner form that will be sent to you.
