What is a pcn?

A PCN, or Penalty Charge Notice, is a type of fine issued by local authorities in the UK for parking or traffic violations. These can include parking in a restricted area, parking without paying, or parking in a disabled space without a valid permit.

PCNs are typically issued by traffic wardens or automated cameras, and must be paid within a certain time frame to avoid further action. The amount of the fine can vary depending on the severity of the violation.

If a PCN is issued unfairly or incorrectly, it is possible to appeal the fine through a formal process with the issuing authority. It is important to provide evidence and documentation to support your appeal.

Failure to pay a PCN or successfully appeal it can result in additional charges and penalties, as well as potential legal action. It is important to address a PCN promptly and follow the correct procedure for handling it.
