Just posting an update. I have not received anything in the post so I have downloaded the PE3 form, filled it in (and signed it) and sent it off with signed delivery required.
Well you should have just emailed it to tec@justice.gov.uk but never mind. More importantly, did you sign it in front of a solicitor or court officer? If you just signed it by yourself at home, it will be rejected.

Thanks for this. I paid a solicitor.

What are my next steps? Just to wait?

Don't rely on the post, check the amount outstanding on the TFL website and as soon as it's gone up to £240, you can download form PE3 and make the statutory declaration (remember you are not the "applicant", the "applicant" is TFL). This mitigates the risk of the Order for Recovery being lost in the post.

In the meantime, have you got the video? If not, call TFL first as soon as possible and ask them, they will send you a DVD in the post.

Thank you very much for the response. I have download the PE3 form. Reading it, I have to get it signed by a solicitor. Is this an additional cost of will solicitors do this free of charge?

Suggest also ringing them again and asking for another copy of the video to be sent to you meanwhile.

Thank you. Do I just ring TFL General Enquiries and try to get through somewhere?

Assuming that I can get through somewhere, can't I just tell that person on the phone that if I stopped, I'll pay it and if I didn't stop, can they cancel the PCN? Seems logical to me, haha

No, you don't just have to pay it.

You submitted reps but seem to not have received their rejection. In these circumstances, you need to wait for the Order for Recovery, (adds £9 to the CC amount), and then submit a Statutory Declaration that you submitted reps but did not receive a Notice of Rejection of those reps.  The matter will then revert back to the PCN stage.

So, do not pay the CC, but wait for the OfR.  If you have mail difficulties, wait until the period to pay the CC has expired, then, after about a week to ten days, contact TEC to enquire whether the PCN debt has been registered. Once it has, you can submit a Statutory Declaration even if the OfR hasn't been receivecd.  We give this suggested procedure because one doesn't want to miss the OfR and lose the opportunity to submit an in-time SD.

Is the address on your V5 correct and identical to that on the CC ?

Thank you for your reply.

My address is 100% correct.

Is it not worth trying to make a Statutory Declaration immediately? I don't particularly want bayliffs at my door. How do I even make a Statutory Declaration? There is nowhere that I can see on the website to do this.

Finally, what is TEC?

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / TLF Box Junction

Hello everybody, I hope that you're all keeping well.

I rarely stop in box junctions and if I find myself having misjudged a car distance and entering one and I may have to stop, I typically drive at half a mile an hour or something which results in me never actually stopping (thus avoiding a contravention).

I received a PCN from TFL for allegedly stopping in a Box Junction in Streatham a few months ago, this was sent to my home address on 13/May/2023. I appealed it online on 16/May/2023 and I asked if I could see the Digital Media (not a photo, the actual video) as I don't believe that I would have actually stopped. I didn't hear anything back.

On 05/August/2023 I have received a letter stating that I now need to pay £240.00, which is considerably more than the original £60.00 (if I remember correctly). The reasons being:
"1. No representations were made in response to the penalty charge notice.
"2. We issued a Notice of Rejection of representations made against the penalty charge and have not been informed of an appeal having been made to the adjudicator within the period which an appeal could have been made.
3. There has been an unsuccesfful appeak against a notice of rejection."

I'm a bit confused. I would have though that if my appeal had been rejected, that I would have been sent another letter to say that it was rejected. Not just stay quiet and send me Charge Certificate for £240.00. Is this normal procedure? Is it down to the motorist to check rather than wait for a response?

Is there anyway of pushing back on this or do I just have to pay it?

To be clear, I don't have a problem with paying the initial charge if I did actually stop in the Box Junction. I just don't believe that I did and I have still not seen any video of this. I have attached a PDF of the PCN review online.

Thank you in advance for your help.
