There is absolutely no possibility of a CCJ; the legal process was carefully written to exclude this.

If you submitted reps, and got no reply and then a CC arrived, you need to wait until the council register the debt at the Traffic Enforcement Centre, (the "court" with no courtrooms or judges). You can then submit a Witnss Statement that you submitted reps but did not get a reply. TEC then revert the process back to that stage and the council must then pass the matter to the adjudicators.

Hi all,

I was about to post again to ask how long they had to file this with the TEC when I found the TE3 on the doormat yesterday.

The last comment suggested I submit a witness statement advising I’d not received a response to my appeal. The statement form predicates this on the fact that I did so within 28 days. As advised previously, I believe my appeal fell a few days late of that timeframe and the correspondence preceding that made no reference to how long I had to lodge my appeal (and scant details as to how I should).

Will this fall against my favour with the TEC?

The date of posting of your NTO was *** (NOT when received but when posted)?
By what means did you submit your formal reps?

NTO was posted 16/12/25. I sent my appeal on 29/01/26, eventually via their website (wasn’t very clear). There was no mention on the NTO I received that I had 28 days to appeal though.

You submitted reps well outside the 28-day period as you can see.

I suspect there was reference to this period, couched in terms such as 'representations made outside the 28-day payment period may be disregarded' along with 'where representations have been received within the 28-day period or received outside this period but not disregarded we will respond to you within 56 days'..

If you post the NTO we can check.

As you say, strictly speaking you don't fit within the WS grounds which is a shame because IMO unless the council have the SoS's authorisation for their non-regulatory sign with its purported restriction you have a strong case.

It might seem convenient (or inconvenient, depending on how you look at it), but having grabbed hold of the NtO, I notice I only have pages 1 and 3:

I don’t remember seeing a page 2 and I find it interesting that their other letters have all been printed double-sided, but not this.

The question is whether the original plan to refer back to the unanswered appeal carries any weight, and whether bending the rules on the WS would be permitted. I certainly had not received the charge certificate before I sent my appeal, though they can say with legitimacy that they posted it before I did (22/01/26).

Any further thoughts? I’m wary of taking this too far if the case is essentially dead in the water in the eyes of the TEC.
