Outstanding penalty charge notices

What happens if I do not pay an outstanding penalty charge notice?

If you ignore our notice or an adjudicator's decision to uphold a penalty charge notice, the charge will rise by 50 per cent and we will deal with this as a debt.

This could possibly lead to us passing the debt to bailiffs.

We will only withdraw penalty charge notices in very rare circumstances. We will not withdraw them for the following reasons:

• I went to get some change for the machine
• I could not find anywhere else to park
• I couldn't see the point of having a yellow line there
• My permit application is in the post
• I thought I was legally parked, but I made a mistake
• I was only there for two minutes
