Posting on behalf of my partner.
Yesterday (11/11/2025) he received a text from Bristow & Sutor regarding an unpaid TFL Silvertown Tunnel Crossing PCN fine of £355. The original contravention was on 28/05/2025.
TFL transferred the debt to court on 27/10/2025 and Bristow & Sutor have had the case since 29/10/2025.
He called the pre-enforcement agent who gave him until this Friday to pay, but he doesn’t get paid until 24/11/2025. He can’t afford the full amount right now and doesn’t have anyone who can lend him the full sum.
He asked about a payment plan, but he was told that the window for that has already passed.
The text he received said:
“Enforcement agents are visiting you & an ANPR marker has been applied to your [vehicle make]. You must make a payment of £355 to stop further action and fees of £235+.”
Is there any realistic way to negotiate with Bristow & Sutor at this stage, before it moves to full enforcement action?
Any advice on what options he has (if any) would be much appreciated.
Thank you
