Notice of Acceptance

If the local authority accept your representation, they will send you a Notice of Acceptance.

If you receive a Notice of Acceptance, you will not have to pay the penalty and you need take no further action.

There are two types of  notice of acceptance.

1. For when a motorist is not liable

2. Where the penalty charge notice is cancelled.

They amount to the same thing in that you do not have to pay the penalty and the case is closed.
