How to appeal against a fine

If you feel the Penalty Charge Notice has been wrongly issued you can appeal online.

The only legal grounds for claiming an incorrect penalty are:

• The contravention did not occur
• The penalty exceeded the relevant amount
• The traffic order was invalid
• You were not the owner or keeper of the vehicle at the time of the contravention
• The vehicle had been taken without your consent
• You are a hire firm and have supplied the name of the person hiring the vehicle

If you appeal after receiving a PCN or Notice to Owner, the case will be placed on hold until a response is sent. If your appeal is received within 14 days beginning with the date the PCN was issued, the charge will be held at the discounted amount.
