Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thank you Enceladus I have been back to the court again today for the third time now and had form PE2 witnessed. The lady at the court did explain as you said I do not need TE7 and TE9 witnessed, just signed by myself. I sent all these with the original PE3 off to TEC. As I had some success with the first on I am hopeful but not confident but I will continue the fight. Once again tank you all for your contributions and I will keep you updated.

Further update this time on GX06778756.

I have just received this email from TEC.

Good afternoon,

Your Penalty Charge Number (PCN) is:  GX06778756

We can’t process your form as they haven’t been completed properly.

Why we couldn’t process your form:

● Your Statutory Declaration has been received outside the timescale allowed. Please complete the enclosed PE2 Application to file a Statutory Declaration ‘Out of Time’ form and return both forms together - this form should not be used to give reasons for contesting the original penalty charge.

Please read the guidance notes carefully, as your forms cannot be accepted unless they are valid.


Please note that if you add any further information to your form(s) after they have been returned to you, your form(s) must be re-witnessed. This is to swear that the new information you have written is true. Your form(s) will be returned to you if this is not complied with.

We do not keep invalid applications. Please return all appeal forms together, along with any supporting documents/evidence.

" On the 23rd Sep TFL issued a replacement PCN in respect of your missing ULEZ PCN and the SD you submitted to the TEC.

Has it arrived with you and when?"

You are absolutely correct in this as I did call TFL as well as TEC to request copies of all letters, at the same time I checked they had my correct address and they did. The copies from TFL have not arrived as yet and I have not received anything further from TEC except for the confirmation email.

Unfortunately I do not have anything to give you as I can ever prove that the letters did not arrive. I could scan and post the 50 or so PCN letters that I have had previously but that still would not prove anything. The sworn oaths that I have made are PE3 and not PE7. During the last few days I have been communication with my MP and I have just received a letter from him promising to take this up with the minister responsible in the government and I am going to shake a lot more trees in the next few weeks.

The letter said...

Thank you for following up regarding requirements for organisations to ensure individuals being pursued for Penalty Charge Notice or bailiff payments are correctly notified that such funds are being chased up.

What I will do is write to the Secretary of State for Justice, Rt Hon Alex Chalk MP, to highlight the experiences you have outlined, including your suggestion of the compulsory use of registered post for such written correspondence.

When my office receives a response I will of course share this with you.

I will of course keep you updated.

Just to recap as perhaps I have not made it clear enough.

My original message said.

Hi everyone I have a problem arising from TFL and the Northampton Count Court that I am sure someone has already experienced. With absolutely no prior notice or warning I had bailiff's turn up at my house yesterday. I was not at home but I spoke to the bailiff n the phone and he supplied me basic details of the "court order" this was the PCN ref, vehicle reg, location and date. When I checked these out sure enough it was for a PCN on a vehicle I own but issued from a CCTV image. This was on 18 April 2023 and I definitely did not receive a PCN nor did I receive any further reminders, charge notices etc. During this time I have received post from the Royal Mail. The vehicle was registered to me with the correct name and address and I checked this with TFL. Further to this I did not receive any letters from Northampton court not one. Also the bailiff claims to have sent me a letter dated 21 August 2023 that they charged me £75 for and that also never arrived. I am at a complete loss to explain this situation and none of the organizations involved are interested in helping. It is unfortunately too late to avoid paying this judgement but I wanted to understand how this can be legal. If I had a chance to pay the original fine it would have been £80 but through no fault of mine it rose to £560. Please let me know your thoughts.


I owned this vehicle at the time of the PCN.
I was not the driver of this vehicle at the time of the PCN.
The vehicle was registered to me at my current address and that address was on the V5
I sold the vehicle at the beginning of August and had a receipt from the DVLA to confirm.
I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTERS WHATSOEVER REGARDING THIS NO MATTER HOW UNLIKELY THIS MAY SEEM.
The bailiff quite clearly had my correct address.
Phoning the TEC is almost impossible unless you take a day off work.

I cant see where I can do this on the site.

Hi all, is it possible to change my username please.
