Barking & Dagenham - Code 62 - Parked on footpath - Greenside

+1

And check with your old address and the council i.e. when and to what address did they send the OfR.

TEC has said that the PCN has been registered on 30th July.

I have checked with my tenant and the OfR has been sent to the previous address!
Looking at the letter, it may have been posted on 4th August. There were other usual How to pay pages and TE9 form attached too.

You may be outside the period allowed for submission of the TE9, so may need the TE7 as well.

IMO,
You have to submit TE9 and TE7 because of the council's incompetence.

But you have to prove this, so:

TE9 - did not receive PCN

TE7 - At the date of the contravention (PCN *****) my registered address was ****. On 22 May 2026 during the enforcement process I instructed the council to use a different address because I had moved. This was acknowledged by the council's action in sending a letter dated 12 June to the new address. I therefore had no doubt that when the OfR was issued I would receive this in a timely fashion.

I did not.

The council addressed the OfR to my old address and this did not come to my attention until after 20 August, this being the latest date for submission of an in-time Statutory Declaration.

I therefore request that my declaration be accepted out-of-time.

Enclosed are:
My instruction regarding change of correspondence address dated 22 May;
Council's letter to new address dated 12 June
Copy of the OfR which I obtained yesterday. (..note I put yesterday because this would seem consistent with your account)

My thoughts

Thank you both.

I have submitted both TE7 & TE9 to tec@justice.gov.uk

Good morning.

I have recieved a letter from the county court today instructing LBBD to cancel the charge certificate.



It is bewildering that a letter takes 10 days to arrive! Wasn't 2nd class a 2-3 days service?

To be clear, which grounds did you select on the TE9?

The ball is now in the council's, as opposed to the county, court!

Your timetable is incredible.

You filed your WS on 1 Sept and they responded on the same day but posted on 3rd.

Unheard of.

But it's history.

The council must serve a further NTO if they want to proceed. I suspect they won't, because addressing the previous one to your old address was a procedural impropriety of enormous proportions.

But time will tell.

While you're waiting, what does their website say? As I understand it, the council is notified electronically and therefore has had ample time in which to reduce the PCN amount to the full penalty.

On the TE9 form, I chose "I did not receive the Notice to Owner / Penalty Charge Notice"
On the council's website, the fine has now been reduced to £140

The NTO from the council has arrived by post today. Would you like me to post the letter here?

Hi tincombe and Incandescent  , what should I do now?

Confirm to which address this was sent, the old or the new? Sorry if you've answered previously, but it's good to have info consolidated.

The new NTO has been sent to the new address.

Is there a reason why the 50% discount for making payment within 14 days not offered this time round?
