Parking

Post no. 2:

Maybe I wasn’t totally clear. I had parked entirely legally. Due to certain circumstances we were three mins late in returning. The query is that the PCN was incorrect in specific details in that the make of car was wrongly described.

It is a technicality that in many circumstances would be sufficient to nullify any demand until, at least, corrected. In admitting the validity of a wrong description I might be liable to being personally ‘complicit’. Paranoiac? Maybe, but care is essential. Can’t put it clearer than that.

An authoritative source has told me that the PCN is invalid because it does not describe the vehicle correctly. I see it as, if I accept this as being legal, I am complicit in furthering a mistake. I am personally scrupulous in such things, as indeed I expect the council to be.


Thanks for the replies, it all helps!
