Have now, finally, many months later - received an OFR in relation to this, it has now been 'logged' at Northampton and the amount gone up to £205 from the £195.
@Secret_Squirrel1970 you must now follow the instructions in this guide to get the matter re-set.

Is there a copy of the original PCN with the Order for Recovery?

I note you don't want to challenge the whole thing, but if we can find good grounds for doing so then you might as well.

Not with the OFR, no....

I did not ever receive an original PCN....  (sad to say, post here is absolutely woeful).

First I knew of it some months later was the charge certificate/letter which was now £195 - iirc.  This was around when I started nosing around asking on here as I knew there was a way of getting it reset

I then received a follow up letter a short time later.

The general reply/collective wisdom in line with what I was asking was that once I had received the OFR - now here - it was relatively simple to get it reset via the traffic court to the original fine on the PCN which I never received.

I will have both the charge cert/letters I received.  Just couldn't place my hands right on them at the moment.

Have had time to dig through my piles of 'inbox'....

I never received any initial notice in the mail - not down to change of address, or V5 not updated - just simply abysmal postal service.

1. 10th Jan dated - (received 18th) first I knew of this was Charge Certificate when it had been raised to £195. (attached)

This is when I opened this thread on this forum. 
General thrust of advice was to await for OFR and then file regarding never received the original notification.

2. 1st Feb - further letter from B&D Council prompting payment or warning of further action.

Still not OFR/not registered at traffic court so waiting game continues.

3. Week ago finally receive the OFR with forms PE2 and PE3

I do not live anywhere near the area, am not local and taking umpteen pics of inadequate signage and getting caught up in fighting this - frankly I don't have the time.  I have recently spent enough 'free' time doing paperwork and admin to fight a PPC with their ANPR double-dip bullsh!t... [I won, but cant be arsed with all that again].

I am happy enough here, in this instance, to get it reduced to the original amount as am damned if I should get penalised for what is now an appalling postal service.

Is is the PE3 I fill in, any specific wording? Or is there some other arcane form I need to download too?


ATTACHMENTS - both the original Charge Cert and follow letter not allowed to attach as upload folder is full.

Nothing at all. You only need to tick the appropriate box.

You will need to get the form sworn/witnessed, free at your local county court (by appointment)
or circa £8 at a solicitor.

Don't take too long, TEC have processing delays at the moment.

Does it need to be my local court as going by my address... ?
I am working away next week and can get to the court there, but wont be able to have it done at my local court.

Failing that suppose a solicitors will do then.

Cheers all.....


I will attempt to speak to Magistrates Court near where I will be working and see if I can make appt to get this done...  failing that, worst case, I will use solicitors in the town there.

There are three tick boxes...  obviously my one is the first I DID NOT RECIEVE THE ENFORCEMENT NOTICE.

Then there is a box for handwritten input..

"My Reasons Are (give full reasons)"  -

is there any need to put anything in there. It seems self-explanatory, or are they really wanting a paragraph on the current sh1t state of the UK postal service and how if govt bodies want to be adding £140 onto penalty charges then they should be paying for Special Delivery   ;D

Not a Magistrate's Court. You need any convenient County Court, where an (appointed) Court Officer can witness FOC. A Magistrate will charge and you might have trouble getting an appointment.

Getting to a court with my work timings was proving problematic.

I did however manage to get it signed, witnessed and stamped at a solicitors.

PE3 then scanned and sent to TEC/Northampton via the email address supplied with the form.

I will also likely send the hard copy on via postal service.
