I diagree with HCA. You can only be made to pay the PCN which is
the subject of the removal to the pound as any other PCN may not
have come to the end of the enforcement process and your right
to make representations has clearly not yet expired. Please put
the entire front page up for us to see. We probably don't need a
new thread as I think the 2 PCns will be related.

[member=7]mrmustard[/member], I would suggest that the Act
states otherwise:
101A Right of owner to recover vehicle or proceeds of sale
(1)If before a vehicle is disposed of by an authority under
section 101 above it is claimed by a person who—
(a)satisfies the authority that he is its owner, and
(b)pays the relevant charges,
the authority shall permit him to remove the vehicle from their
custody within such period as they may specify or, in the case
of an authority other than a local authority, as may be
prescribed.
(3)In the case of a vehicle found in an area that is a civil
enforcement area for parking contraventions, the relevant
charges are—
(a)any penalty charge payable in respect of the parking of the
vehicle in the place from which it was removed,
(b)such unpaid earlier penalty charges relating to the vehicle
as may be prescribed, and
(c)such sums in respect of the removal and storage of the
vehicle—
(i)as the authority may require in accordance with Schedule 9 of
the Traffic Management Act 2004, or
(ii)in the case of an authority other than a local authority, as
may be prescribed.

Indeed, but a PCN surely only becomes unpaid when the period for
its payment or for the submission of representations against it
has expired. In addition, for a Reg 9 PCN, it is only when the
period for payment/reps for a Notice to Owner has expired

That clause may be there so authorities can collect debts owing
by persistent evaders as you can't get an impounded car without
identity checks. I think the London 2008 act allows persistent
evader vehicles to be impounded even when not in contravention.
Anyway, we need to see the documents for this case.
