Bailiffs Turned Up Out Of The Blue About A Mystery PCN

In circumstances such as these, several scenarios may apply:

If you purchased a second-hand vehicle and a bailiff or enforcement agent is pursuing an unpaid PCN from the previous owner, you have the right to make a third-party claim for the controlled goods.

Understanding your rights is essential in such cases. For example, if the address on your V5 is outdated and the bailiff has tracked you down, you are entitled to appeal the PCN, arguing the Authority did not give you a Notice to Owner (NTO).

Even if you have recently moved or changed your address after the date of the traffic contravention, you can still appeal the PCN with confidence, on the grounds that the authority did not give you a Notice to Owner (NTO).

It's crucial to be well-informed about the implications and your rights when a bailiff with an ANPR camera finds your vehicle on the street. This knowledge will prepare you for any enforcement actions.
