Aside from checking with TEC if the debt is registered, you really don't need to do anything else. Noting can happen until the debt has been registered.

Hi all, 
Quick update on my PCN: the council withdrew the Charge Certificate  (great news!). 

Now I need to submit a formal representation to the council while the case is back at the NTO stage.
Please could someone help me draft a strong,compelling representation 

- NTO date: 08 July 2025 

Thanks so much — your advice has been invaluable so far! 

You made a witness statement?

An NTO dated 8 July means you about out of time - you need to do something now.

A quick read back suggests:

The contravention did not occur. The permit I displayed was obscured but it wasn't invalid.

The informal rejection demands an amount that exceeds the amount lawfully due.

+1.

The latest date for making formal reps which must be considered is TODAY.

As per stamfordman, you don't have time to refine reps.

What does this even mean? Please show us the paperwork you have received.

Thanks for your prompt responses and advice. 

I will send it tonight.  I will go with what Stamfordman drafted. 

@stamfordman - Thanks for the draft. 

Note: Which witness statement are you asking about? 
I completed the TE9 form to get the charge certificate removed. Is that what you are asking about?

@cp8759
Is there anything else I can add to Stamfordman's draft representation as per your "post Reply #13 on: May 12, 2025, 04:14:46 pm"

With respect to the response that you received from Medway when you requested the TRO.

Really sorry, I honestly don't have time to look into that.

I hope you filed reps - if they reject make sure you let us know and we can get you set up for the tribunal.

Thanks.
I wasn't able to file the representation that night.
I had problems filling online using the appeal portal. Technical system error messages kept coming up halfway through the filing process. Tried the next day same error messages Called the next day but couldn't speak to someone.
Ended up sending it by email with the error message screen shots & my Resident Permit. I will keep the forum updated.

PCN – Charge Certificate Issued dated 11/08/25. Despite Timely Representation attempts (Advice Needed please)

06 & 07/08/25 – Tried submitting representation online, system error (screenshots taken).

07 & 08/08/25 – Called Medway Parking but couldn’t reach a person (only automated lines). Phone log available

08/08/25 – Emailed representation to both parking email addresses after failed submissions and calls. ( phone log / History available)

11/08/25 – Called again, initially told email not received. After resending, they confirmed both 08/08 and 11/08 emails were on file.


Despite this, I’ve now received a Charge Certificate (11/08/25).

Question: What should I do next?

If you tried to make reps on that last day but were prevented then you can go through the same process of waiting for debt recovery. Or contact them saying you tried and have proof and will they accept reps.

You need to act on things in good time to meet deadlines!

I tried to submit it in the last day but the system prevented me. I took screenshot evidence.


That’s the thing — I actually called them on Monday the 11th to make them aware, but the person I got through to seemed new and even struggled to find my original email.

The system’s changed as well. It used to be easier to speak to someone, but now it’s all automated and they just push you online. The person I spoke to on the 11th also told me the phone line times have changed — I wasn’t aware of that — and said it was all part of the new automated system.

I did include everything in my representation (even a screenshot), but I don’t think anyone actually looked at it before the charge certificate was issued automatically.

I’ll try calling again and hopefully get through to someone with a bit more experience this time.

Let's see these screenshots please.

@stamfordman there is no ground on form TE9 for "I tried to make representations within 28 days but the council website prevented me from doing so", so I'm not sure waiting for the OfR is the right approach.

Yes I meant made reps. Not OP's fault about the system.
