       PCN served late?
   DIR By: Dumbum
       Date: July 10, 2025, 1:58 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I understand that councils have 28 days to serve PCNs from the
       date of the alleged contravention.
       I have received a PCN today, 10/7, for an alleged contravention
       on 10th June. The PCN states "date of notice 08/07/2025"
       I assume this is a simple out of time defence since 30 days have
       passed since the alleged contravention?
       Many thanks in advance

       Do you own the car or is it leased?

       The PCN was deemed served on day 31.
       It's been served out of time and is not a lawful demand under
       the relevant legislation.
       End of as far as you're concerned at present, although
       perversely you still have to make reps to this effect.
       If the authority wish to rely upon one of the exceptions then
       the burden falls to them to prove their entitlement so pl don't
       exercise yourself about this.

       +1. Please show the rest of the PCN.

       Hi again folks.  I appealed this on 11th July and have received
       no response aside from the "do not reply" email acknowledging
       that they've received my representations.
       Am I best to assume they've cancelled it or to contact them to
       be sure?

       Never assume!
       You should be able to check on the Council's website the status
       of the PCN.  If it's still shown as live, then a follow up looks
       appropriate.

       Thanks.  Checked and it is still on there. Tried the phone
       number provided on their email which, of course, is not
       answered, so sent a recorded letter.

       So, wrote by recorded delivery asking for status of the PCN on
       12th September. No response.
       So, tried their phone number again. No answer.
       So, went online, eventually found a web form that can
       (allegedly) be used to query the status of a Havering PCN.
       Filled it out. Message said response within 24 hours.
       Guess what...  :)
       No news is good news I suppose.  I'll leave them to it now.
       They've obviously got too much to do.
       Havering enquiry form thing for anyone in similar situation
