Submit the Statutory Declaration form which was included with the Order for Recovery. Tick the box that says you submitted representations against the PCN and did not receive a Notice of Rejection.

The PE3 SD will need to be witnessed. You can do this FOC at any convenient County Court. Phone first and check opening hours and make an appointment if told to do so.

Else a Solicitor can witness but will likely charge £8-10.

Scan the witness SD and scan it to a PDF. Attach the PDF to an email to the Traffic Enforcement Centre at Northampton County Court. The email address is on the SD form. Include the PCN number in the email subject line.

Should I fill in the Statutory Declaration form instead of the PE3 .

They are one and the same

Thanks.

On the PE3 form should I mention that I called TFL and they claimed to have sent the notice of rejection on 15 October - which is more than 5 months after I made the appeal.

And is this not grounds to have the PCN dismissed?

You do not need to enter anything in the 'Reasons' box.

For your information,  TEC have no role in whether a PCN is cancelled or not. All you are doing is telling them you did not receive one of the statutory enforcement documents. This means they will, on getting your SD, order the OfR and CC to be cancelled, and the matter reverts back to the NtO stage at which point you can submit reps against it, or pay it.

The 56 days does not apply to your PCN because it was served under a different Act of Parliament, but until you post the PCN we don't know the exact one, (there is more than one !)

OP, I don't want to hinder you doing what is the ONLY action open to you which is to complete(including getting your signature witnessed) the PE3 and then send to the Traffic Enforcement Centre.

We give this advice so often that occasionally we might forget an OP's level of knowledge.
Yours is practically zero, c'est la vie.
Therefore matters have to be particularised.

The 'they' in the previous post means the Traffic Enforcement Centre, nothing to do with TfL. So make sure you understand the difference.

The PCN won't be cancelled, it's the Charge Cert and OfR which are. TEC will instruct TfL in whose court the ball will land. If they want to continue then they must refer the matter to the Tribunal(adjudicator) for direction.

But for the moment just complete the PE3, DO NOT SIGN YET, arrange to get your signature witnessed at your local court(free but might be delay) or solicitor(a small fee) at which point you then sign, email to TEC and make sure it's in time.

Is this clear?

Thank you everyone.

I've filled out the PE3 form and sent it to the TEC.

Continue with this thread.

Have you received anything from TEC?

Was there a covering letter from TfL with the pack?
