Free Traffic Legal Advice

Luckily I took a screenshot of the complaint reference, 3rd of September this year, haven't heard back of course. I would happily pay the CC as intended. As much as I am a morning person, it is not fun to play wack a mole with my vehicle and CDER group trying to clamp it, to then add holding fees to it    I also asked the CDER group bailiff to kindly forward my letter considering they seem to have contact with their client TFL.

I wish I had posted months a go, unfortunately I had numerous other PCN's I was dealing with simultaneously, hilariously trying to deal with some outright negligent fines that drove me mad, at some point I thought I had started getting paranoid to even drive my car.

I didn't realise how helpful strangers on the internet could be and regardless, I am very grateful to all those who have replied/posted.

You've told us that your Statutory Declarations were witnessed on May 24th and then posted 1st class. When were the SDs actually posted?


Same day, all of them including my other PCN's, which dated before the TFL one's.

And how did you know to submit the SDs in the first place? Did you receive the Orders for Recovery?


I contacted TEC, got through to them eventually and they informed me not to fill in PE7/PE8(Honestly filled out enough forms and sent them to TEC for them to tell me to get them notarised ) i believe as that is long gone and not the correct form.

I never received the Orders for recovery, I just received a bailiff at my door as my first indicator that something is not ok.
I have submitted one SD for each TFL PCN, the other 2 council PCN'S I also submitted were same procedure, I did not receive a response from my appeals, difference being, my SD was adequate enough(same explanation used for my TFL SD) it reverted back to stage one and they actually had a look at my appeal and then realised they made a mistake.

Bear in mind this was during the winter last year with the whole Royal Mail postage issues

At the moment I don't believe you have any procedural means of resetting the enforcement process. You need to write to TFL and explain how this situation has come about, that there was no intent to circumvent or evade the charges and so on. Ask them to use their discretion to cancel the charges. But right now I for one am not sure what has actually happened

They have not gotten back to me in any of the emails I have sent them(yes it's sent and not outbox)
I have made a representation/complaint on 3rd September 2024 - Representation reference number: 48044857 - NO RESPONSE

TFL chat is customer services just receiving abuse so they are reluctant to help.

Not sure how else to get through to them

I did complain, they did ignore. I have had 0 response from the complaint.

I will try the plea for discretion route and try again through complaints but I have a feeling they won't care

Well done ! At least there seems to be a smidgeon of commonsense in TfL
