Received a Penalty Charge Notice?

Simply search for your contravention code in the box above for instant help on why you have received a penalty charge notice and how to have it cancelled.

The contravention code is usually next to the decription of the contravention (offence).i.e.contravention code 01 "parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours" or contravention code 50 "failing to comply with a sign indicating a prohibited turn".

If your penalty charge notice does not have a code then go to our "choose contravention code descrption" box.

We have campaigned on behalf of motorists for over 12 years to have the current unfair and, in our opinion revenue orientated enforcement of parking and moving traffic offences by local councils and transport for London changed.

For around the cost of an hour's parking in central London the information on our web site may well result in your penalty charge notice being cancelled. Support us and join today!

We have evidence of unfair and sometimes illegal enforcement by local authorities. We have had some successes along the way. We are often on BBC news and in the local and national press highlighting arrears where enforcement is being carried out unfairly and sometimes illegally. The government know what is going on and “sympathise” but “we have no powers to intervene” says former transport minister Rosie Winterton. This was reiterated by her successor Geoff Hoon. The previous government was completely uninterested in the persecution of the motorist and as a result local councils can act with total impunity.Many councils ignore the statutory guidance issued by the government as well as the strict signage and lineage requirements.We are in touch with the new transport minister who has asked for some suggestions from us.We are keeping our fingers tightly crossed that the new government will hold councils to account. 

Many motorists believe that we are in a police state with hidden cameras or traffic wardens hiding around corners just waiting to catch a minor transgression of the rules by a motorist in the name of revenue.We welcome donations to help fund our continued campaign on behalf of the motorist.
