Free Traffic Legal Advice

Email received from Tribunal. Appeal allowed. Finally, after 10 months!!
Thanks @Hippocrates  for getting this through successfully. 😄😄

UPDATE 1 FEB 2025

I sent in an email complaint to Havering Council on 30 January regarding Traffic & Parking Control department, outlining the representation lost by them and the Order for Recovery sent to me which was not registered.

A reply was received the same day which said:

“A copy of your challenge sent to Miss Green on the ***10th January has been added to the case as a formal challenge and will be reviewed tomorrow.  A decision will be sent to you by email and post.

The TEC fee and surcharges have been removed and there is no need for a further Statutory Declaration to be made to the Traffic Enforcement Centre.

Please accept my apologies for the Order for Recovery being issued before being registered.”

*** this was an email where I enlisted the help of a local councilllor to obtain info on when I should receive communication on the Order for Recovery, given that it was almsot six months since the PCN

Today, by post I received, a Notice of Rejection of Formal Representations, attaching a Notice of Appeal which I had added to my One Drive : https://1drv.ms/b/c/ff2efe087033259f/EV47H4w0IN1MoXAKQdczhf4BGoBg9bD4l0skGL3TNHInbA?e=S4zJsH

Now unsure what the next steps are as I appear to be starting over again!!

I'm also away at the end of the week so anything which needs dealing with in 14 days I don't have time

I phoned the TEC Office to find out if they were open at weekend if I sent in the OfR by signed and tracked.
When they checked the reference I was then told it had not been registered and not to send it in and to contact the council.

I was ready to send it so it had already been signed at the solicitors office.  This morning I received an email to say that there was an error in processing a batch.
A previous email from the parking manager stated that unfortunately my hand delivered letter had been lost in transit. (I have video evidence of handing it over)

I'm not sure I understand the last part of your message

Can't believe the council. My order of Recovery hadn't been registered with TEC so they told me not to send it. I had already been to the solicitor and paid for it to be signed.
I informed the council and there was a problem with their system so I have now received another Order of Recovery which again will need to be signed by the solicitor!!
Unbelievable.

I received the Order of Recovery on Saturday 18th and as I am going to be ticking the box that says that I made representations but didn't receive a rejection notice and the PE3 states underneath- My Reasons are (give full reasona)

Without a reason I am not sure why it would need to be signed off legally?

ORDER OF RECOVERY RECEIVED
Sorry - trying to keep as short as poss.

Outlining details in brief so far, as I’ve now received the Order of Recovery (after waiting six months!)
Date of PCN 7 June 2024

Up until now this is what has been advised (this may not apply at this stage as I believe I have to say that I made representation)

“The website ground along gives you an almost certain win as the grounds listed on the council website are all wrong: ground F, G and H on the council website are all inapplicable. Add this with the council's likely inability to supply a copy of your video to the tribunal, and you've got them on two grounds (if they can't supply a copy of the video you send with the representations, then that's a failure to supply a true copy of the representations and that alone will win the day)”.

Above done & sent 24hr tracked & signed on 3 July (Royal Mail didn’t deliver & was lost- taken up with RM).
9 July hand delivered letter & other sets of CD’s to council. 
Video evidence of arriving and handing over. 
Not received and now say it is lost!!

Received letter 22 July – no representation – increased charge of £195

Regularly contacted TEC on a weekly /10 days basis until I finally received a response from the council 10 January, that I should receive Order of Recovery by 17 January.

Advised: “TEC then order the CC and OfR to be cancelled and the matter reverts to the PCN stage. AS you submitted reps the council must pass the matter to the adjudicator for a decision”.

Received today so I am assuming I send the PE3 saying I made representation with all the details I stated about RM and hand delivery etc.
I then have to get it signed by a solicitor etc and send the signed form to TEC in Northampton.
 
Signed and tracked again?

Thanks again

I've had a quick look at the PE3 and I believe the box that I would tick  would be I made representation ............etc but did not receive a rejection notice.

I would still need to give a reason for appeal the PCN   
Is this also correct?  - get it signed before a commissioner of oaths, such as a solicitor, Justice of the Peace, or a County Court officer?

Another month on - still no Order for Recovery!.  It's becoming a joke.  I have been phoning TEC regularly each week.
Any idea if there is a cut off point when I have to have had the Order?
