hi H C Andersen
Just checking if you think I should go forward with this or just
pay the penalty.. I have time until October 30 to pay the
reduced amount. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

I haven't read through this but from Mr Andersen's last post it
looks worth going on. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

Hi All,
So the Notice to Owner has finally been received - I have
uploaded the letter here:
HTML https://imgpile.com/p/rWiYeUB
I should point out that the vehicle has been sold in the
meantime. The Notice to Owner has been sent to the purchasers
address. Also for some reason imgpile will not let me upload one
of the letters pages detailing the HOW TO PAY and HOW TO
CHALLENGE sections.
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

If the NTO is the purchaser's name they need to make
representations stating they became owner after the date of the
contravention, supplying a sales invoice or such like and giving
your details - name and address - as the seller.
There should be a way of doing this online but it will be a
section on the printed NTO.

Hi Stamfordman,
Thanks for the reply. The NTO is not in the purchasers name, but
the name of the driver/previous registered keeper (the one who
committed the contravention). Does this change anything? Thanks.

The driver is the registered keeper and the DVLA details are up
to date. Lets see what the council says.
I should point out that the vehicle has been sold in the
meantime. The Notice to Owner has been sent to the purchasers
address.
The NTO is not in the purchasers name, but the name of the
driver/previous registered keeper (the one who committed the
contravention).
OP, let's clear up the procedural issues pl.
Quite rightly the NTO is in the name of the RK at the time(who
was driving is not relevant for these purposes). But is the
address on the NTO that held by DVLA at the time? If so, what
does 'has been sent to the purchaser's address' mean?

Hi H C Andresen,
To clarify,
The NTO has been sent to the address of the new registered
keeper but it displays the name of the previous registered
keeper. Hence, the address on the NTO is not the one held by
DVLA at the time of the contravention but the address of the new
registered keeper who purchased the car in the meantime. Hope
this makes sense.

That's not lawful and on the face of it is a clear procedural
impropriety.
From the General Regs
Notice to owner
20.(1) Where
(a)a penalty charge notice has been given with respect to a
vehicle under regulation 9, and
(b)the period of 28 days specified in the penalty charge notice
as the period within which the penalty charge is to be paid has
expired without that charge being paid,
the enforcement authority concerned may serve a notice (a
notice to owner) on the person who appears to it to have been
the owner of the vehicle when the alleged contravention
occurred.
From the Traffic Management Act:
owner, in relation to a vehicle, means the person by whom the
vehicle is kept, which in the case of a vehicle registered under
the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (c. 22) is presumed
(unless the contrary is proved) to be the person in whose name
the vehicle is registered;

Hi HC Andersen,
Thanks for your response.
Just to make sure I understand correctly... is the issue here
that the NTO was not lawfully served, since it was sent to the
wrong address (i.e. not the one of the person who appears to
have been the owner of the vehicle when the contravention
occurred) So this NTO is not valid even though it was addressed
to correct person but sent to a wrong address?
Does this count as a procedural impropriety that can be used to
challenge the PCN? How should this be raised?
