No point in paying now because the same £160 is in play at London Tribunals, with no extra costs payable, and if you win you pay nothing. A no-brainer, really.

. . .
In it they said something along the lines of they are deciding to pursue the PCN (which is fine). Except it's still at 160?
And they also mentioned having referred the case to the Tribunal.
Please post the letter (not the whole EP), only redacting yr name and address.
So the question is do I pay now or just wait on the adjudicator?
Ring LT in the morning, explain the situation and follow their advice.
The envelope had the evidence pack and a broken in half cd inside.
Ring TfL and ask them to replace the broken CF. Make sure they place the case on hold while sending out replacement.
What is the current status/history on TfL's site?

Hi everyone. Update on this.
We finally got the form from the TEC, filled in the statutory declaration, witnessed by a solicitor and sent back.
The TEC asked for the CC to be cancelled, on the 7th May TFL sent a fat envelope that was tracked and signed for.

To be honest, I cannot remember if I made it in my name or my wife's name.
I will see if there's a way to check my original appeal.

Is this the same vehicle as in your Islington thread?
I of course did a bit of reading. The CC is in my wife's name. So does this mean she will have to make a statutory declaration?
I recieved a camera PCN from TfL on the 23/11/2025. I appealed,
But you could not appeal, only your wife could. I've no idea what was in their correspondence of 24 Dec. or the NoR, but if you did not refer to having your wife's permission to make reps on her behalf then they could reject on this basis alone.

Update:
Spoke to the TEC.
They have said there is nothing registered against that PCN number.
Best course of action is to wait and contact the TEC regularly to check for an update, and no need to contact TfL. According the agent on the TEC webchat.

Your wife will have to submit a Statutory Delaration that you submitted reps, but received no letter of rejection. She can only do this once they register the debt at the Traffic Enforcement Centre. They'll send an Order for Recovery when they do this, but you need to keep checking the PCN status on their website, or phone TEC, to make sure, because you've already had one document go astray, (their letter of rejection). The form for the SD can be downloaded from the TEC website, (Form PE3).
I've checked the TfL site, the PCN remains in the same state it was last. Charge Certificate issued.
I will try calling TEC next. I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place, but I couldn't find anything on their site.
-
The thing is, I've received all my other post fine. These documents have not turned up at all, and even the charge certificate was 10 days late from the date shown. Not even the one where they supposedly asked for more evidence.
Is it worth calling up TfL? Or do I have to let it get to that stage?
I google it, and I found someone else had the exact same thing happen. Is this a normal occurrence with TfL?
What happens after an SD?
P.s. would it matter that my wife is going to submit the SD, but the original appeal was in my name?

Is the address on the CC correct and the same as on your V5C for the vehicle ?
Hi. Yes it is. It's the same. The original PCN came to the same address aher.s well.
I've also checked my emails. No response there either.

Hi, I recieved a camera PCN from TfL on the 23/11/2025. I appealed, saying it was a clone plate, as I've had this issue for a while now. Today (28/02) I recieved a charge certificate, dated 18/02. I've shown a picture below. I googled, and it prompted me to check the history of the PCN on the TfL website. I've screenshotted that and shown it below as well.
My issue is, after submitting my initial appeal, I did not hear back from TfL at all. Not via email or post, and this is the first correspendance I have actually recieved from them.
Where do I stand on this matter?
Thank you for your help as usual.
EDIT: I of course did a bit of reading. The CC is in my wife's name. So does this mean she will have to make a statutory declaration?
And apparantley you have 14 days, not 28, before they take it further. Which is wholly unfair considering I recieved it 10 days late!
