What happens if I don't pay a PCN?

If you do not pay an outstanding PCN, Newcastle City Council will pass the case to enforcement agents in order to recover the debt. This is in line with legislation.

If you are contacted in relation to an outstanding PCN, it is suggested that you contact the enforcement agent in order to arrange payment, so that further charges are avoided.

If you receive a letter or visit from an enforcement agent who is trying to recover a debt from a previous tenant of the property, you are advised to speak to the enforcement agent as soon as possible to inform them.

If you are unaware of having an outstanding penalty charge notice, you can contact Parking Services on 0191 278 7878 and quote “Parking”. They can check when and where the PCN was issued and provide advice on how to proceed.

Once a warrant of execution has been passed to the Enforcement Agent for recovery, it is no longer possible to appeal directly to the Council. However, if you did not receive the Notice to Owner or if you have challenged the Penalty PCN in writing previously to either the local authority or the Traffic Penalty Tribunal and have not received a response, you should contact the Traffic Enforcement Centre on 0300 123 1059 in order to obtain the forms to submit a Late Witness Statement. The lines are open between 8.30am until 4.00pm Monday to Friday.
