How to pay a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)

There are a number of ways in which you can pay your PCN. 
 
Please note we do not accept cash payments (see below for paying by cash at a Post Office), so do not send cash in the post. 
Your account number is the number of the PCN which begins SC.  The only letters are the first two, the rest are all numbers.
  • You can pay on-line with a Debit or Credit Card.  We do not accept American Express cards.
  • You can send a cheque or postal order, payable to South Lakeland District Council.  Please write the PCN number on the back of the cheque (beginning SC), the vehicle registration number, and your address.
  • You can pay using the automated telephone service number, on 0845 0501734 (local call 24 hours a day). 
  • You can pay by cash at the Post Office by Transcash.  Please quote the Transcash code 6171230.  You should also write the PCN number in the reference section on the slip otherwise we cannot match up the case to the payment.  Please note that the Post Office do levy a charge for this method of payment.
