"I was not able to reply to this in a timely manner, so I filed a TE7 & TE9 with the TEC."
Surely a London bus lane contravention would require a Statutory Declaration (PE3) and Out of Time application (PE2)? Not a Witness Statement & OOT?
Was it a properly witnessed PE3 & PE2 that you filed with the TEC? Or did you really file TE9 &TE3? I ask because it is not unheard of for the TEC to reverse their orders if a mistake comes to light. If so, they would have written to you?

With this council, I represented a member and the matter took over a year.

Thanks! Just the £514 that was paid to the bailiff.
Do these matters usually take this long to progress? I thought I'd be patient and wait, but it's been 5 months since the TEC response.

Welcome. I know this council. Once a Stat Dec has been signed they should refer the matter to the Tribunal. Rather they shall refer to the adjudicator for directions. How much spent?

Hi all,
I received a PCN back in August 2021 for driving in a bus lane during permitted hours 2021-08-18 13:29:43.487 (datetime from the CCTV photographs when appealing the case online). The bus lane’s active times were and still are 15:00-19:00.

I followed Barking & Dagenham’s appeal process online within a timely manner.
They had a process specifically for bus lane charges that were issued incorrectly, so I wasn’t required to type out a reason.
They rejected this. All communication stopped after then submitting a formal appeal.
Fast forward to February/March 2024, I received an Order for Recovery and in April ended up paying £514 after a bailiff showed up at my door.
I was not able to reply to this in a timely manner, so I filed a TE7 & TE9 with the TEC.
On 18-Jul-2024, I received the following response from the TEC by post:
The respondent filed a statutory declaration/witness statement on 29-APR-24.
It is ordered that the order for recovery of unpaid penalty charge be revoked.
It is further ordered that the charge certificate be cancelled.
Important note to respondent:
This order does NOT cancel the original Penalty Charge Notice. You should contact the Local Authority/Charging Authority as they may well take further action on it.
The Authority should inform you as soon as possible if it intends to do so.
Any advice on the next steps would be greatly appreciated, as i have not heard back from the council.
