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.
