My partner sent the following correspondence for each PCN,
swapping out the PCN numbers accordingly, except of course for
the PCN from the 30 Sept, which she paid as per the advice
above:
To whom it may concern,
I am submitting this appeal for PCN RT46827073 (03/10/25).
I am appealing several PCNs issued under the same circumstances
but I understand each must be submitted separately. The related
notices are: RT46924794 (24/09/25), RT45834051 (25/09/25),
RT46826547 (26/09/25), RT47625620 (29/09/25), RT4583462A
(01/10/25).
On 05/10/25, I returned to my car and found three PCNs attached
to the windscreen (RT45614634, RT4583462A, and RT46827073).
However, when I went online on 12/10/25 to pay PCN RT45614634, I
was surprised to discover four additional charges dated before
30/09/25. These earlier PCNs were not present on my vehicle when
I collected it on 05/10/25, so I was unaware of them and had no
opportunity to pay or appeal them within the initial 14-day
period.
I have since paid the first PCN (RT45614634, dated 30/09/25),
acknowledging my mistake. However, I would like to appeal the
remaining PCNs on the following grounds:
1. Genuine oversight as a local resident:
I live nearby on a road with no parking restrictions. On this
occasion, I was unable to find a space on my own street and
parked on Shrewsbury Road. In a hurry, I unfortunately failed to
notice the Controlled Parking Zone signage.
2. Limited vehicle use:
I don’t use my car regularly and therefore did not realise it
had been parked in a restricted area for several days, which led
to multiple PCNs being issued before I could rectify the
situation.
3. Missing notices:
Several of the earlier PCNs were not on my vehicle when I
returned, meaning I had no knowledge of them until checking
online on 12/10/25. This prevented me from addressing the issue
sooner or taking advantage of the reduced payment period.
This was an honest and isolated mistake. I have always been a
responsible driver and have rarely ever received any fines of
this nature. I also sought advice in an online forum about the
situation immediately after discovering the PCNs on 5/10/25, and
the explanation I have provided here is the same as what I
shared at that time.
Having promptly paid the initial fine that I received, I
respectfully request that this PCN - and the related notices -
be reviewed and cancelled in light of these circumstances.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Kind regards,

Thanks. So each PCN has been challenged, therefore all you can
do is wait for their replies.
