Hi
I currently lease a car. I received an email from the lease company to say that I have been charged a £10 admin fee. When I looked into why, there was a scan of a PCN they had received from Smartparking. The incident happened on 25/08/2023 and the PCN was issued on 21/09/2023. I received the email on 5 October 2023.
I am yet to actually receive the PCN in the post, so my concern is if I were to never check my emails, and to not look further into why I had been charged a £10 admin fee, I would not be aware of this PCN.
First of all, the PCN seems to be outside of the 14 day statutory time limit. Is this my first defence?
Secondly, do Smartparking need to actually send the PCN to me? Normally, lease companies make a representation that gets the fine sent to the correct place but I am yet to receive anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I believe this has been incorrectly handled.
Thanks
