Declare them all. They will not affect your application though, I believe.
Yes, you can mention this in the cover letter if you wish. Best to declare to best of your knowledge or mention in cover letter you do not remember the exact dates. PCN’s are okay. FPN’s are the ones that may cause more damage.kgnot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:37 pmOk then but back to the second point. I do not have information of all only recall that there are some. I hope this is good enough ? Either way this is all I can do unless you guys have other idea.
I am a delivery driver if you are wondering so I am thinking if this is too many to attach a statement explaining that I do a lot of stopping in high traffic congested areas in London where these fines occur.
And correct me if I am wrong but that states - FIXED penalty notices (FPN)...which is not Parking Charge Notices (PCN as it is written on the letters I received)..but then again do they confuse Parking Tickets with FPNs?Criminality
You must give details of all criminal convictions both within and outside the UK.
These include road traffic offences.
Fixed penalty notices(they meant PCNs???) (such as speeding or parking tickets) must be disclosed,
although will not normally be taken into account unless:
....
• you received 3 or more fixed penalty notices at any level
Fixed penalty notices, penalty charge notices and penalty notices for disorder
Fixed penalty notices, penalty charge notices and penalty notices for disorder are imposed by the police or other authorised enforcement officers for traffic rule
violations, environmental and civil violations. It is a way of the criminal justice system disposing of fairly minor offences without the need for a person to attend court.
Receiving one does not form part of a person’s criminal record. A fixed penalty notice will not normally result in refusal unless the person has failed to pay or has unsuccessfully challenged the notice and there were subsequent criminal proceedings resulting in a conviction. In such instances, they should be treated in line with the sentence imposed by the court.
However, multiple fixed penalty notices over a short period of time could demonstrate a disregard for the law and therefore demonstrate that someone is not of good character.
FPN alone is not a criminal conviction.Criminality

FPN alone is also NOT a criminal conviction unless you fail to pay the FPN and challenge it in court and eventually the case is upheld against you. Only if you get fined by court, FPN becomes a criminal conviction.
So does this include multiple Parking/Penalty Charge notices?However, multiple fixed penalty notices over a short period of time could demonstrate a disregard for the law and therefore demonstrate that someone is not of good character.
PCN and FPN are different. PCN is issued to the vehicle and FPN is issued to the driver. FPN can lead to criminal proceedings but PCN can not. PCN ends up with civil debt only if chased when not paid.
You are overthinking and wasting your money. You could have simply googled if you want to know the difference.kgnot wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 11:46 amI called the Home Office for clarification and the woman do not know difference between FPN and a PCN and she does not understand page 26. She advice me to ask an immigration solicitor (who spend 5 years bla bla bla great people second only to Jesus). I asked a level 3 immigration solicitor and she thinks parking tickets are FPN...Another immigration solicitor had no comment despite i offered to pay him for one hour....Tragic
The call centre you are calling is not HO staff. It is a third party agency, often giving out incorrect information.
Yes so FPN was issued. Declare it.
