Do you have a timed email shot you can send and certain it was transmitted to the right address?

Yes i have a screenshot to send them.

So I checked last night and the fee went up by £10. Got home from work today and I have received the order of recovery. Just so I’m not mistaken, all I have to do now is fill out the PE3 form and send it off. And I believe I also have to do this in front of a solicitor is this true?

On 25/07/2025 the above penalty charge notice was sent to you as the owner of vehicle registration mark ********* for the alleged contravention of Failing to drive in the direction shown by the arrow on a blue sign (proceeding in the wrong direction) that is in CAMDEN ROAD EASTBOUND JW CAMDEN STREET NWI on 11/07/2025 at 17:58 hrs.
The alleged contravention was seen and recorded by a camera and has been recorded on digital storage media.
You had 28 days to pay the penalty charge or to make representation as to why you believed it was not payable.
This charge certificate has been served because the penalty charge has not been paid before the end of the relevant period of 28 days beginning with one of the following:
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 unsuccessful appeal against a notice of rejection.
As a result, the penalty charge has now increased by 50% to £240.00
If we do not receive the amount payable before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the charge certificate is served, we may register the debt at the county court and issue an order for recovery. If the charge remains unpaid a warrant may be issued to the Enforcement Agents to recover the debt. We advise you to deal with this matter now, as you may also become liable for any additional county court and Enforcement Agent fees that apply.

Hi all,

I’m looking for some advice regarding a TfL Penalty Charge Notice. I received a PCN from TfL a while back, I submitted an appeal through their website within the time limit.

When I log into the TfL portal, it clearly shows that my appeal was received. However, I never received a Notice of Rejection from them.

Instead, I’ve now been sent a Charge Certificate, increasing the penalty by 50%.

From my understanding (and talking to Chat GPT  ), once I get the Order for Recovery, I’ll be able to submit a statutory declaration (TE9 form) stating that I made representations but never got a Notice of Rejection.

I’ve kept evidence:

A screenshot from TfL’s site showing “appeal received.”


My questions are:

I received the Charge Certificate today, Chat GPT says to wait for the order of recovery, is this correct or should i make efforts to resolve this before then?

Will the statutory declaration definitely be accepted if I file it correctly and on time?

I've seen some info saying that i need a witness when filling out the TE9 form, is this true?

When it resets, will the penalty go back to the full amount (not the discounted amount I would’ve paid if I’d received the rejection)?

Has anyone had success in asking TfL to re-offer the discount in situations like this?



Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
