Author Topic: Havering Council, code 83 parked without valid parking clock, Market Place Car Park Romford  (Read 373 times)

I created a post thread on Pepipoo back in March on behalf of my mum she had not put the right time on the blue badge parking clock which she thought she had. It seems like a moment of absent-mindedness as she was in Romford trying to resolve an issue at the bank that was worrying her.

The PCN Link

Since then a challenge was made online in early March and a reference was given W33454058. Then a month or two later a Notice to owners was sent and a challenge was made which we have no reference for. I then made an enquiry as a decision on the challenge was never received by my mother. To date, there has been no correspondence in relation to the challenge and the enquiry but my Mother has now received a TE3 - Order for recovery of unpaid penalty charge. What is the best course of action in this situation? It has been hard to contact the council via phone and online and the enquiry I made has been ignored.

Please post up both sides of the NtO and a copy of your response to it.

Do not ignore the Order for Recovery or lose time trying to talk to council.

If Mum hasn't received the NOR then fill in the form, ticking the appropriate box, Mum must sign it, email to TEC (details should be on it)
Don't trying to argue the case on the form or add any information bar the basics above.
Once TEC receive, they will cancel the OfR and Charge Certificate (which also seems to be MIA) and tell council..... authority will then refer to Adjudicators.... though likely to send a letter to Mum with a copy of the NOR and an invite to pay

Also she doesn't need to use the paper form, you can download form TE9 from here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1094491/Parking_TE9.pdf

Then she can fill it in, sign it (they will accept a typed signature), and email it to tec@justice.gov.uk with the PCN number in the subject line.

You don't want to send anything in the post because in the event of postal issues, it can be very difficult and expensive to get things back on track.

cp8759 is, indeed, a Wizard of the First Order

Update: after completing and filing the TE9 form and received a notification letter that the statutory declaration/witness statement was filed by the court. The letter then goes on to say that we should contact the local authority regarding the PCN. I have tried this in the past and they sent me an order for recovery and this point it seems the havering council doesn't want to speak to me. I have just tried to call the council up and I have tried various options to speak to a person on the automated system to no avail.

Does the Parking department in Havering Council have a direct line to speak to a member of staff? or an email address? It seems from the witness statement response from the court the onus is on me to contact the council but I have no means by which I can speak to a member of staff apart from the online form which hasn't worked and I am not sure what to do from here.

The onus is on the council to progress this, not you (Mum)
Though the standard TEC letter implies otherwise.

When you say council to progress this does this mean they need to reach out to us? And the council cannot start court preceding again.

Reach out to you is a funny way of putting it. The law says that when a SD is made for no notice of rejection they should refer the matter to the tribunal, but what is most likely to happen is that they will send you a copy of the NOR wait on that
