Charge certificate not registered with TEC 2.5 months later
« on: »
I never received the initial PCN from tower hamlets council, I did however receive a charge certificate on December 23rd. I am waiting for them to register the charge with TEC so that I can appeal it.

It’s been 2.5 months now, 2+ months of checking each week if it has been registered with the TEC and this is just wasting my time and drawn out stress.

What can I do now? Is there a time frame that they must register it by?

I appreciate any help, thank you.

Clearly the council are getting into the realm of "abuse of process", and unfairness with such an extended interval. You could try phoning them to see when they might be registering the debt. There may be a regulation somewhere that forbids them to register after a certain time has passed, but I'm not expert in that. You could try asking TEC if there is a time limit on councils because there certainly is a time limit on the poor old motorist ! Finally, you could raise a complaint with the council too. They must have a complaints process and must deal with complaints raised within it.

Saw this whilst checking the status of mine and having a look around. We are in pretty much the same situation with my CC issued one day before yours.

I don't know if you have had anything added to the status of yours recently but I have had the following logged in recent days on the portal but no change to the amount:

What makes you think you could submit a statutory declaration/witness statement anyway?

As you received a PCN/NTO, then if you made formal reps and received a response your only route was to appeal to the adjudicator, nothing to do with TEC. However, if you made formal reps to the authority but did not receive a response then you would have grounds to make a submission to TEC.

While we're waiting, pl fill in the background and post whatever docs you have.
