Hi
I need some advice, I do not dispute the PCN, however I do dispute how Havering handled the PCN and I do not know whether to fight it or not. The reason why I am hesitating is because Havering have this habit of wanting to go all the way and I am not sure if the TMA 2004, is even on my side and I do not know if I can even cite procedural impropriety.
The order of how things went is like this...
- I received a PCN on 28/11/2023, for 624, wheels on footpath.
- Original PCN got lost.
- NTO not received but I did get a Charge Certificate on 08/02/2024.
- Order of Recovery was received in September 2024, where I completed a TE9 and emailed it on 05/09/2024.
- TEC wrote to me and cancelled the Order of Recovery, letter dated 13/09/2024.
- Another charge certificate was sent, dated 28/10/2024 and the order of recovery was received in June 2025, at my new address. Royal Mail redirection was in place.
- TE9 sent and emailed again, 14/06/2025, mistakenly under my married surname not my maiden one but correct address. No response from TEC received.
- Notice of enforcement was sent to my NEW address, dated 11/10/2025.
- TE7 and TE9 sent again, 13/10/2025, with a response dated 20/01/2026
- Notice to Owner, finally received on 04/02/2026
I have attached all correspondence received. This feels like such a breach of process. Plus both charge certificates have the date of the contravention and the date of NTO being sent as the same.
I was disputing another ticket with Havering at the same time as this one. The appeal was allowed at London Tribuanals because they replied so late to my formal appeal. I received every correspondence related to that ticket. So I do not understand how Havering messed up more than once.
Thank you
