Clean Air Zone Wrong Keeper, Sold or Bought Challenge

For a Clean Air Zone PCN outside London sent to the wrong person: you never were the keeper, you sold the vehicle before that date, or you bought it after. Pleaded on regulation 8(3)(a). Builds the chronology the authority needs, captures the buyer or seller details, and answers the two responses authorities give most often, that the DVLA record showed you as keeper and that you notified the DVLA late.

CLEAN AIR ZONE PENALTY CHARGE NOTICES IN ENGLAND, OUTSIDE GREATER LONDON.

That means Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Sheffield, Bradford, Newcastle and Gateshead, Portsmouth, and any other charging Clean Air Zone made under the Transport Act 2000.

DO NOT USE FOR THE LONDON ULEZ, LEZ OR CONGESTION CHARGE. Those run on a different Act and different Regulations, they have six grounds rather than seven, they have NO procedural impropriety ground, and appeals go to the Road User Charging Adjudicators instead of the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. Sending this letter to Transport for London would cite the wrong law at the wrong tribunal.

DEADLINE: representations must reach the charging authority within 28 days of the date the Penalty Charge Notice was SERVED. Service is deemed, not the day you opened the envelope. See the note in the letter.

Only use a ground that is genuinely true for your case. Do not pay the discounted amount if you intend to challenge, because payment ends the dispute.
