Best if you post-up whatever documents you have. If the PCN number is on the CC, use it and your reg number to look at the PCN and evidence on the council website and post that as well.

Next stage of the process, if you don't pay the CC, is for them to register the debt at the Traffic Enforcement Centre, (the "court"), and send you an Order for Recovery. This adds £9 onto the CC amount. At this point you can submit your statutory declaration. Look here for the forms: -


Until you tell us what the PCN is for, we can't tell you what form to use. Provided you submit the declaration within the time period allowed after issue of the Order for Recovery, it will be accepted and the matter reverted to the PCN stage. You cannot submit any declaration to TEC until the PCN is registered there.

OK, so its a parking PCN under the Traffic Management Act 2004.  This means you need to use PE2 & PE3 forms



On the forms, the "Applicant" is the council, not you. You are the "Respondent"

Come on, you know better than that.

It's TE9 and I'll have to re-read to understand why TE7 is even mentioned?
So far I only see a Charge Certificate.

Well if I am thick and stupid as you imply, then TEC must be just as stupid: -
extract from their website

Form
Dart Charge, Mersey Gateway, clean air zones - Challenge a traffic enforcement order: Form TE9
Use this form to challenge a court order (‘order of recovery’) for Dart Charge, Mersey Gateway crossing or clean air zone charges.

Thanks for this, but surely it is totally unacceptable for a government body to put very misleading information on their website. It fooled me, (obviously).  I also do wonder why there have to be two forms for what is essentially the same thing.

Don't worry, we're not fighting, (except against the councils and TfL !).  I just wish government websites didn't have misleading info on them !
