Then I'm afraid you'll just have to keep calling TEC.
It's very strange because this suggests that anyone getting a Harrow charge certificate who simply wants to pay it would only be required to pay £90, so the council is missing out on the extra money, but it seems there are no limits to their incompetence.
-
When they register the debt at TEC, they add on £9, to the amount on the Charge Certificate. This is the TEC registration fee, so it's pretty obvious when registration has occurred.
Thanks, this would be very helpful, but the charge outstanding on the council website still says £60, which is what it would have been before the CC.
-
rather than calling TEC you can simply check the amount due on the council website.
Sorry, could you elaborate? How would it appear depending on each circumstance?
When the debt has been registered, the amount due on the council website will go up to £99.

Last time he called, the lady at the TEC told him that as more than 33 days had passed, it was too late for the council to register an OfR. Is this the case please?
No, in practice TEC would let them register the debt no matter what the delay is. That being said, rather than calling TEC you can simply check the amount due on the council website.
If the delay gets to six months, you can use the formal complaints process to force the council's hand.

Technically they have 6 years but the tribunal might well find over 3 months is an abuse of process

Hi
This relates to a thread that was begun on Pepipoo.
A family member was ticketed for not parking fully within the bay (it was a disabled bay and they were displaying a badge). As the lines are practically non-existent he will almost certainly win a genuine appeal. However he did not receive the NTO so never had an opportunity to appeal to NPAS.
Here is the charge certificate that was received:

He has been calling the TEC once a week since receiving the CC but they have told him the OfR has not yet been registered. Obviously he also has not received a OfR.
Last time he called, the lady at the TEC told him that as more than 33 days had passed, it was too late for the council to register an OfR. Is this the case please?
