Newcastle City Council Issued me with a farcical PCN
DIR By: DarrenBoro

---------------------------------------------------------
Newcastle City Council Issued me with a farcical PCN in early
November 2025 and to be fair I just ignored it, I so wish I
could get a judge to look at the video as it is so pathetic, I
intially thought I made a mistake in Newcastle city center
driving as it is a nightmare and designed to make you fail - but
it was not - my problem is I completely ignored the letters and
it is now with the Bailiffs and my research indicates that there
is literally nothing that can be done now which is sad as like
Croydon council - Newcastle are trying to use the motorist to
fill the void in the budget overspend with outrageous PCN claims
- I cant use the T7 form as I dont meent any of the criteria, so
unless anyone knows a potential way round this, it looks like I
will have to pay these criminals £190.00 - I did contemplate
letting the bailifs keep coming out and telling them to f-off
and hope the council then try to get a CCJ which would then
hopefully give me the ability to show the court the video one
concern i have regarding this is that I own my flat outright and
dont want them to put a lean on the property

£190 now, then another £235 if they have to visit. As regards
your suggested plan, this would work out as an additional debt
of approx. £33 per letter.

(and
Schedule)
The matter has already been reviewed by a court, the Traffic
Enforcement Centre who authorised the warrant of control.
IMO, your best bet is to see if the £75 Enforcement fee, which
was added when the Notice of Enforcement was issued, could be
saved. We need to see the Notice of Enforcement.
But as per John U.K post everything.

Just to add that a CCJ is not possible under the legislation. Do
also be aware that bailiffs can seize goods standing on the
public highway. Essentially, this means your car, which they can
sell to get the money.

Re: Newcastle City Council PCN with Bailifs

I have enclosed images of the latest letter ( front & back )
from the Bailiffs, and video of the exact incident that the PCN
was issued, as previously mentioned I assumed it was from a
mistake I had made in Newcastle town centre, but upon viewing
the video it was actually on the ourtskirts of Newcastle, I
recall the incident and my vehicle made an almighty bang noise
and lots of warning lights came on the dashboard and my
immediate reaction was to pull to the side of the road ( as can
be seen by my severe swerve to exit the main road ) as soon as I
stopped the warning ligths went off and I drove back on to the
main road appox 13-15 seconds later as can be seen in the video
- when I called Newcastle City Council ( I had not viewd the
video at this point ) she was watching it and said ohh yes you
pulled right outside of a school, but the incident was at 19:40
pm so am not sure how this is even relevant - a terrible council
to deal with, they said I can only use the Te7 Form but it is
completely pointless as I do not meet any of the strict criteria
- I am prepaired to fight this if I have a good chance of
stopping this council stealing money from motorists who did
nothing wronng so your opinions are very much welcomed.

You need to pay it today -as their letter indicates, if not paid
in time, the amount will only increase.
Check online to see if they will accept £190, or if another
amount is showing and come back here to let us know the outcome.
Paying the amount due today will stop further increases.

I can not bring myself to pay £190 for a completely farciacal
PCN - I am not concerned regarding the bailiffs visiting my
property, but could someone advise on weather I would have a
good chance considering the stated facts/video that if the debt
was returned to the council as unrecoverable ( which I would
make sure the debt was ) and they decidedd to take me to court
hat I would have a good chance of the judge kickeing this farce
out after watching the video.

As far as I can see (others will correct me if I'm wrong) it has
been to court and you decided not to challenge it. You could
have
made reps against the PCN;
if rejected, appeal to the tribunal;
challenged the charge certificate.
You didn't do anyof these, so the TEC granted an Order for
Recovery to Newcastle, who instructed the Bailiffs to collect
the debt.
At every stage hereonin, Jacobs will add fees and expenses, and
eventually seize whatever they can of your property to settle
the inflated debt. There will be no appearance before a judge to
see the video.
See what the experts here say.

Why would 'the judge' watch the video? You were given a window
of opportunity to challenge the PCN and by not doing so you've
already admitted defeat.
You can get it reset if you never received the original PCN but
you've confirmed that you did.
If the PCN didn't inform you of the time limits then that might
be something we could help you challenge?

They have been to court and effectively obtained a default
judgment because you forfeited your opportunity to represent
your case by failing to engage with the council in a regulated
manner.
You can try whatever extra-procedural tactics you wish to bring
this to the council's attention. But IMO, I don't see that we
could advise because we focus on intra-procedural advice.
Perhaps bailiffadviceonline might help you.
But the deadline to pay at the lower rate has passed, hence the
advice above to pay. After this you could engage formally with
the council and see whether they'd consider looking at the PCN.
