There's a statutory process to get it reset if you didn't get the original PCN:
https://www.ftla.uk/announcements/charge-certificates-london-local-authorities-and-tfl-act-2003-london-local-autho/
You need to he proactive and get the necessary forms sent off once the debt is registered - there's a limited no of days where the council must cancel the OFR - after that it is out of time and the council can reject it.
Thanks, that's the process I remember from before with a bus lane or some such in Dagenham.

There are no images of the contravention - just the charge cert' shown here.
The Westminster website https://appeals.westminster.gov.uk has photos and a video.
Cheers, found them.... although it seems moot at this point as I am waiting for the OFR to then get it knocked back to getting the original PCN.

I am used to fighting private parking companies so this council stuff is all a bit new to me, but I did find a previous post of mine regarding a missed/late bus lane charge from Barking/Dagenham...
I had to wait for OFR to register at TEC - and use PE3 form or something.. i dont know if the same sort of rules apply with this box junction. :-\

My issue with this is not so much the contravention on 11/11/2025 – but that this is the first I had heard of this. I received a letter (Charge Certificate) c. 16th/17th April (dated 13th April).
But have had no prior notice of this at all.
I did move house in November 2025 and I have already chased (DVLA) and had a letter from DVLA - back in January - that they messed up (lost) my address change on V5s. That aside, the first I hear about this should not be Charge Certificate where they have now upped things to £240.00
The location of the contravention is
Piccadilly - Dover/Arlington https://maps.app.goo.gl/9JiYFr561rsVzT2Z8
