By reset I was told it will revert to oricginal PCN so I will have option to pay £65 or appeal. (So once that shows up I was going to pay it)

Thanks.

Post by: H C Andersen on May 30, 2025, 02:19:04 pm: 'Reset', whatever this term means to them.

Their options are to consider reps made outside the 28-day period or cancel or register with the Traffic Enforcement Centre.

What do you have in writing?

It's a minor one on the surename, in the 14 letter surename instead of an "i" there is a "t" thanks all, all else is fine.

Thanks

Post by: H C Andersen on May 18, 2025, 10:46:38 am: OK.

Spelling mistake on V5 is your problem. If it's significant, then get DVLA to change it. If this has been carried through to the CC, then it strongly suggests that the council followed correct procedure in obtaining your keeper details from DVLA.

Post by: Enceladus on May 17, 2025, 04:03:44 pm: And please have a read of the READ THIS FIRST - **BEFORE POSTING YOUR CASE!** (https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/read-this-first-before-posting-your-case!-this-section-is-for-council-tfl-dartme/) sticky post at the top of the forum. You are explicitly asked to only redact/obscure your name & address from documents. Please leave everything else visible especially the PCN number and the vehicle reg (VRM).

Please correct and repost the Charge Certificate.

Post by: John U.K. on May 17, 2025, 03:59:03 pm: You should be able to get this automatically reset: for the process now see
https://www.ftla.uk/announcements/charge-certificates-london-local-authorities-and-tfl-act-2003-london-local-autho/msg20808/#msg20808

The most important thing is not to miss deadlines.
Does Merton's website have a page for the history/status of a PCN (often lurking under PayMy PCn or ViewEvidence or somesuch)?

Any problems with the post? Is the address on the V5C and on the Charge Cert. correct in every particular?
Title: Re: Charge Cert Recieved - Merton Code 53J
Post by: Enceladus on May 17, 2025, 03:55:51 pm: Wait for the next document in the chain which will be an Order for Recovery. You can get the enforcement process reset to the PCN stage by filing a Statutory Declaration to the Traffic Enforcement Centre of Northampton County Court. Please follow the guide here. (http://) When reset the Council will serve the PCN again and you can pay or challenge and appeal.

Post back when you get anything.
