Kempe road, Brent PCN escalated to Charge Certificate (£240) –
Notice of Rejection sent to wrong address & missing sign

Hi everyone,
I am looking for some urgent procedural and signage advice
regarding a Moving Traffic Contravention PCN issued by Brent
Council. The fine is for allegedly entering a School Street zone
on Kempe Road J/W Chamberlayne Road.
The Current Problem (Rental Car & Address Error):The vehicle was
a rental car. I initially received an email from the rental
company notifying me about the PCN. They informed me that they
were transferring liability to me and providing my details to
the Brent PCN team so a new ticket would be sent directly to my
home address. However, the rental company made a mistake and
provided Brent Council with the wrong door number. Because of
this, I never received the reissued PCN or the subsequent
paperwork, and I had no idea anything was wrong until I called
Brent Council directly to find out why the case had escalated.
The fine is currently sitting at the Charge Certificate stage
(£240) and the status shows "CC Sent". I cannot pay or appeal on
the portal
Here is the exact history log from the Brent Council portal:
23/03/2026 01:00 PCN Issued (To rental company)
05/05/2026 10:23

The timeline of PCN events doesn't seem to match your narrative.
The original PCN was issued on 23rd March, reps accepted 5th
May, new PCN sent 6th May, then representations submitted and
under review 20th May, and finally a CC issued on 25th June.
So it seems somebody submitted reps on 20th May, but there is no
Acceptance/Rejection event after this, only the CC being sent
out. Can it tbe that the wrong address number as an actual
address and that person submitted reps saying it wasn't him ?
You might try phoning the council to find out what is going on,
and also get ready to submit a Statutory Declaration when they
register the debt at TEC. You will receive an Order for
Recovery, and you can truthfully state that you did not receive
the PCN.

If CC sent 25 June then by my reckoning, the last day of the
14-day period before they can escalate matters is today.
Would you pl confirm or provide the following:
How did the rental company contact you, this is most often by
sending you a letter?
How do you know that a new PCN and the CC were sent to the wrong
address e.g. you were told by the council during a phone call
etc?
Let's say this wrong address is A, then is this different from
that on your photo ID driving licence and rental agreement, for
example:
You live at 27 Another St which is the address on your licence
and agreement, but the PCN was sent to ** Another St?

Still says CC sent
PCN was sent to rental company and then i received PCN on my
email by rental company which says the rental company is going
to forward my address to Brent PCN and i will receive the new
PCN
Lets say rental company on agreement has door number as 12 and
my correct door is 15, then council sends a PCN to door number
12 and the residents living at that door number Returned the PCN
to sender.
Mean while i have used the PCN on my email and send few emails
to Brent PCN challenging this PCN and i gave them my correct
address on email, this was completely ignored because the
address is different to what was given by rental company.
when i noticed online the amount has now updated to 240 i called
brent council and the council rep over the phone told me they do
not have my correct address and they have been given the wrong
address by renal company.

Thanks.
IMO, YOU do NOT have any liability to the council in respect of
the PCN.
And the address on your driving licence and rental agreement is?

My divers licence has correct address, the car rental agreement
has wrong address. I noticed the incorrect address during the
car collection as it failed my credit check. Then the staff
member updated it on their system and I was able to get the car.

What an interesting scenario.
The rental company gave and the council used the mandated
address i.e. the one on the Hiring Agreement.
You have no standing in this matter because a PCN has not been
served on you, so the council may well just ignore you. I don't
know where this might end.
The person who lives at the 'wrong' address might be sent a
Notice of Enforcement detailing the next steps i.e. personal
visit by bailiff and seizure of goods. But they shouldn't be
visited by bailiffs because a soft trace should be undertaken
beforehand which would reveal that you do not live there. Do you
want the unfortunate person to suffer this aggravation? If not,
then if you want to regularise matters, I suggest you get back
to the rental company, explain the problem and ask them to write
to the council with your correct address..and then see what
happens.
Wait for others.
