Please confirm that you had the Out of Time application and the Statutory Declaration witnessed?
Did you email them to the TEC? When?

The TEC should inform the Council of your application the same day if your forms were received before 4pm on a working day. Otherwise the next working day.
The Council has to immediately cease any enforcement action, that means call off the bailiffs until the TEC process your application.

That’s great news, thanks.  Yes I submitted them both by email today.  Had them witnessed by a neighbour who’s a solicitor.  So I guess they’ll inform the council tomorrow

Thank you all so much for the advice.  I've filed both forms now.
The email autoreply says out of time applications can take 8-10 weeks to be resolved.  How do I handle the enforcement agent in the meantime?  On the back of the Enforcement Notice, it mentions large fees if the Enforcement agent ends up visiting me...  Don't want to be stuck with that as well.  Is there a way to get them off my back till the application is looked into?

Thanks again

So the key question to you is - did you receive the Order for Recovery ? You haven't mention it at all, yet you did get the Charge Certificate. Is the name and address on the CC correct ?

Yes, the name and address are correct on the Charge Certificate, and haven't changed in years.  I do live in large apartment building though, and it has happened that we've received other people's mail occassionally and vice versa.

No, I didn't.  I only received the two letters attached.


Any advice on what to write on the Out-Of-Time declaration?  Is it worth doing, or do you think I have no chance?
Thanks for the help!

Hi, Hoping to get some advice on how to handle this please.
On 18/6 it seems I had a Penalty Charge Notice for a traffic contravention. I never received any letter about it so of course didn’t pay it.
I only received a Charge Certificate that I was late , requesting the full amount ( so I lost the chance to pay only half) plus another 50%.
I decided to let this go to court as I was planning to respond to the court letter that I had never received the original PCN.
But now the court didn’t contact me at all and immediately issued a warrant. I received a Notice of Enforcement now from a recovery agency for a much larger amount.
Is there anything I can do to appeal this ruling or is my only option to pay?
I don't dispute the actual offence, but I don't see why I should pay the inflated amount when I never got the chance to pay the discounted penalty.

The Charge Certificate is dated 14/08.  I was out of the country from 10/8 till 27/8 and can prove that.  That also contributed to the mess.

Thanks
