Not quite, you can only contact TEC once the debt has been registered with the Traffic Enforcement Centre.

Keep an eye out on the amount due on the council website, once it's been registered the PCN amount will go up to £204 and the council will send you an Order for Recovery in the post. You don't need to wait for any paperwork to come in the post though, once the debt has gone up to £204 you can download form PE3 from https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-pe3-challenge-an-unpaid-penalty-charge-notice

You'll need to tick the box to say you made a representation but did not receive a Notice of Rejection, but do not sign the form!

You'll have to make an appointment at your local county court to get it sworn in front of a court officer (it's free), once that's done you can scan or photograph it and email it to tec@justice.gov.uk (put the PCN number in the subject line).

Any questions, please let me know.

@cp8759

Just spoke with TEC and they explained that once The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has registered my case with them, a case number will be generated a letter sent to me.

Once I receive the letter it will be accompanied with a form to appeal and this is when/where I can inform them that I didn't receive the Notice of Rejection from the council as well as provide all the evidences of my original representation and attempts to reach out the council.

Thought I'd share in case anyone in my position faces something similar in future.

I'll keep you updated with outcome.
