Points to check before you pay
- Did you leave and come back? A new stay after leaving is not the same as extending.
If one of these applies, the usual statutory ground is that the contravention did not occur. Other grounds (not the owner, stolen vehicle, already paid, wrong amount, procedural impropriety) apply whatever the code. The checker shows which fit your case.
How much is a code 07 PCN?
Outside London, councils charge lower level contraventions at £40 or £50 depending on their band, halved if paid early (SI 2022/71, Sch 3). In London it is £110 (Band A) or £90 (Band B) from 7 April 2025 (London Councils). Wales sets its own levels: check your PCN.
Questions
What does PCN code 07 mean?
Parked with payment made to extend the stay beyond initial time. "Meter feeding": paying again to stay longer than the maximum stay allowed in that bay.
Is code 07 a higher or lower level contravention?
It is a lower level parking contravention, so it is charged at the council's lower rate.
