Appeal a moving traffic PCN
If you don't think you should have been given a penalty charge notice by us, you can formally challenge the PCN by making a representation. If you intend to formally challenge the PCN, don't make or send payment. A payment will close the case down and we'll be unable to investigate.
Any formal challenge about the issue of a penalty charge notice must be received within 28 days of the 'notice to owner' (NTO) and include the following:
- Your full name and postal address, including postcode
- The penalty charge notice number, which must be quoted on all correspondence
- Your vehicle registration mark
- The grounds on which you are making your representation
- Any written evidence to support your case
You have two opportunities to appeal, depending on its stage of progression:
If you've received an NTO and wish to make a representation
To be made after the issue of a notice to owner. If the PCN isn't responded to within 28 days of the date on which it was served, a notice to owner (NTO) will be sent.
You can find further information in our customer charter and procedures and grounds for the cancellation of penalty charge notices page.
