Free Traffic Legal Advice

Unfortunately, I misunderstood the Notice of Rejection process. I incorrectly assumed that a Notice to Owner would follow,  so I did not appeal to London Tribunals within the 28-day period.

I have now received a Charge Certificate increasing the penalty to £240.

I contacted London Tribunals, who advised that because a Charge Certificate has been issued they can no longer accept an appeal unless the process is reset. They suggested contacting the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC).

I have since spoken to TEC and understand there may be a route to have the process reset, which would potentially allow me to appeal to London Tribunals.

Given the circumstances, and the fact that the council cancelled the second PCN arising from the same journey, would you pursue the TEC route and seek to restore appeal rights, or would you simply pay the £240?

Hi Incandescent,

Thanks.

I've now uploaded:

As I mentioned earlier, I misunderstood the Notice of Rejection and incorrectly thought a Notice to Owner would follow, so I did not appeal to London Tribunals within the 28-day period.

Since receiving the Charge Certificate, I have spoken to London Tribunals and TEC.

I'd appreciate any advice on what my next step should be.
