Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi, I just signed for documents posted via Royal Mail, which turned out to be from Red Routes in Darlington. Traffic Enforcement Centre has notified TFL that I have filed a Statutory Declaration/Witness Statement. TFL have said they have reviewed my application and have decided to proceed with its enforcement.

They have included exact copies of evidence for this PCN which includes a “Notice of Rejection” issued on 11/09/2025. The pack includes it as a letter, yet the PCN history says they issued over email - I didnt receive this in letter OR email form?!
The Notice of Rejection says You may appeal to an independent adjudicator at London Tribunals, an independent adjudication service against this decision on specified grounds within 28 days… Does this mean I have to go to court or they will try add court fees etc to my original appeal?

Hi @stamfordman, the TFL site says this under the PCN status "On Hold: SUS40 - Statutory Declaration Receipt". I called the number on the link and London Tribunals say they havent received anything yet.

@H C Andersen, I don't have copies of the exact representation apart from the TEC. I have an approximation - is that ok?

Great, glad I double checked, thank you @Incandescent

Hi,

I would really appreciate some advice please.
At the end of July I had to call 111 who made an emergency out of hours doctors appointment for me at my nearest hospital. I was in alot of pain. It was late,, around 9:30pm. The doctor issued an emergency script at a select pharmacy which was due to close shortly. I made my way there and there was no parking. It was my only chance at getting the help and medication I needed. I had to park in a no stopping area for the duration of fetching emergency medication. I was careful not to block traffic.

TFL issued a fine for £80. I appealed and gave them evidence of doctors appointment, call history to 111 and the receipt from the pharmacy. I heard NOTHING from them at all and then today I received a Charge Certificate of £240!!!
When I lookup the PCN online it says they emailed me - but I didnt receive an email or letter from them until this point.

I have no idea what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated please.

Can I please check:
If SABA wants my full name and vehicle registration to verify that I am the registered keeper, do I supply this?

Hi @mickR @b789 @H C Andersen

I've received this response from SABA. It sounds like they are ignoring my response and still insisting on the original request.

"Good afternoon,
Thank you for your email, all comments have been noted accordingly.
To satisfy data protection and to ensure we are discussing with the correct party, please confirm your full name and vehicle registration.
If you are not the named party or the driver on the day, we will require authorisation to discuss this matter with you."

PALS looks to be a dead end and doesn't want to get involved with their rogue supplier. Is progressing with SABA the only available route?

Hi @b789 - I have just received this response from PALS
