Received Charge Certificate - Please Help!!!
« on: »
Hi ,

I could really use some advice. I was referred here from a Facebook group.

Here’s my situation: I received a bus lane PCN from Barking & Dagenham council, which I disputed and appealed through their website. A few weeks later, I got a letter titled "Notice of Rejection" (dated August 14, 2024) explaining why my appeal was denied and outlining my next steps if I disagreed with the decision.

The letter mentioned that if I didn't agree with the council's decision, I should not pay the fine and should wait for an enforcement notice, which I chose to do since I wanted to take my appeal to the tribunal. However, yesterday I received a Charge Certificate demanding full payment plus a £65 surcharge, totalling £195.

The problem is, I never received the Enforcement Notice from the council.

I've been given advise on FB that I should follow the procedures in this POST is this right course of action?

Thanks

London bus lanes are unusual in that there is a PCN then an enforcement notice (EN), rather like a windscreen parking PCN.

If you don't get the EN you have a definitive way to get the process reset by waiting for the order for recovery - the page linked below is a bit easier to follow.

So don't pay.

Is the name and address correct on the letters you've had.

These are the stages in the enforcement process. Clicking on each will take you a description of that stage.
