Hounslow PCN Appeal Process
Check your options on what to do at each stage. For a detailed advice, please check your ticket here
If a parking warden from Hounslow puts a ticket on your windscreen, you have the option to appeal the ticket within 28 days. There are many ways to beat tickets at this stage. The Parking Mate UK app will help you check some common mistakes made by parking wardens. You have nothing to lose at this stage because if the appeal is rejected, Hounslow, will offer you the discount amount.
Hounslow may reject a perfectly written appeal because they know that most people will pay the discount amount rather than risk paying the full amount at London Tribunals. However, if you have a strong case based on our appeal letter, you should appeal to the London Tribunals and take the case all the way. If everyone appealed Hounslow parking fines, most people would win because Hounslow have to respond within 56 days.
If Hounslow have rejected your appeal but you have a strong case, you should send your appeal to the London Tribunals within 28 days of receiving the notice of rejection. Some appeals are successful simply because Hounslow don’t challenge the appeal. The success rate for London Tribunals is around 55%, so it’s worth a shot.
If you receive a Charge Certificate from Hounslow, you can still write an appeal or ask them to reduce it to the lower amount. To do this, go to the Hounslow website and send an appeal. Appeals at this stage may be rejected but there is hope.
If you don’t pay the Charge Certificate, it progresses to the Order for Recovery stage. This means Hounslow have applied for a warrant to be issued and bailiffs to recover the amount. You can appeal the Order for Recovery within 21 days of it being issued, if you appeal within this time, it will be cancelled.
We recommend contacting our team to support at this stage.
At this stage, you will receive a “Notice of Enforcement” and the bailiff will try to attend your property to recover the unpaid penalty charge.
