I have had my informal appeal rejected
We will send you a notice to owner 28-days after the issue of the penalty charge notice.
You can then make a formal appeal. The notice to owner will tell you how and on what grounds. This allows for any reason you think is valid.
If we accept your appeal, the case will be closed. We will confirm this in writing.
If we do not accept your appeal, we will issue you a notice of rejection. This will tell you that you must either pay within 28-days or appeal to The Traffic Penalty Tribunal. The independent Traffic Penalty Tribunal is the final arbiter.
We will send you the forms for you to lodge an appeal at the traffic penalty tribunal with the notice of rejection. You cannot go to the traffic penalty tribunal without having had a notice of rejection.
