And to clarify, they want 65 for each PCN (while the discount period is active)

For convenience

How long do we have to wait for the council to register the pcns? I have sent Te9 forms multiple times to be on the safe side but they have been rejected due to not being registered. It has been 2 months since receiving the last correspondance and 4 months since receiving the charge certificates.

I don't think this is consistent advice.

When I had the same issue with LBBD, it just showed as unable to pay rather than increase the fine by £10.

Additionally with the Wandsworth charge it says it will increase by £8.

I don't think it is reasonable that I should be checking every day/week for the foreseeable future until they decide to register the charge.

Is there no time limit for them to register it? I mean if not then fine I can't do anything.

Wandsworth is out-of-date, the charge used to be £8, but is now £10. You don't have to check with TEC every day, only every 10-14 days. The process is that when they register, they send you an Order for Recovery in the post, and also the form to submit a Statutory Declaration. OUr advice about contacting TEC and also looking on the council website is because we have had people on here who never got the OfR in the post, so had to submit Out-of-Time declarations. The problem with these is that the council can and do object to them, folowing which the declaration is rejected.

We're only trying to make sure you don't fall into any traps. You don't have to follow our advice, you can always just wait for the OfR to turn up. Councils can be dilatory in registering PCN debts, but they cannot get the money unless they do so, so normally one doesn't have to wait long.

Why these forms instead of the TE9? This is very time consuming and solicitors are asking for £15 per form.

It's the legislative mess we're in, (as usual for the UK !). The London-specific legislation for traffic and bus lane offences, demands submission of PE2 and PE3. But TEC aren't going to tell you that. Their website is truly awful, totally confusing to anybody that doesn't know what to submit.

Anyway, you know now, or as the Scots would say, "ye ken the noo" !

We messed up. After submitting the pe3 forms, we got this letter for 3 of them:

I write with reference to your Witness Statement which was filed with the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC) under ground 3 that you appealed against the Local authority's decision to reject my representaions within 28 days of service of the rejection notice but had no response to your appeal.
In light of the TEC revoking order I am writing to explain that we have no record of your appeal to the adjudicator. In order for us to consider this matter further, please provide your appeal that you have referred to in your witness statement to TEC, within 21 days of this Ietter. You can also email it to ParkingComplianceRec@richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk.

Once received we will refer your appeal to the adjudication service with an application payment of the PCN at £136:00 which may also include costs.

Should you fail to provide the appeal as requested above, we will refer your witness statement to the adijudication service with an application payment of the PCN at the charge certificate amount (£195.00).
Alternatively I will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 if payment is received within 14 days of the date of this letter.
You may pay by debit or credit card via our website at www.wandsworth.gov.uk/pcnonline or over the telephone, by ringing 0800 021 7763 at any time.
clearly identified wih the Notice number should be sent to the following address:

We were meant to tick boxes 2, not 3. Not sure what to do now? Desperately need some input.

Also find it super odd where they say "alternatively I will..." rather than "We"
