       And just to be sure just checked with TEC and still not
       registered with them as yet.

       Sorry to disagree with Incandescent, but the second-to-last
       para. contains far  more useful info on the procedure than the
       average Charge Cert and I'm not certain that an extra-procedural
       step equates to unlawful. Also, when was the last time we saw a
       council willing to take(albeit conditional) payments?

       And finally, it is now with TEC.
       The guy on the phone sent me text with the form I need - PE2
       apparently, I have until 16th July to get it completed and back
       to TEC (that seems rather generous on the timescale if you ask
       me, but I wont complain).
       Gives me time to sort someone at local court to witness it as I
       sign it  etc.  Previously I used a local solicitor but was
       charged £15 for the privilege.

       Form PE2 is for requesting permission to submit your Witness
       Statement (Form PE3) out-of-time. But surely you are not out of
       time because the debt has yet to be registered ?

       It is registered now, that is what prompted the post above.  I
       called TEC (cause obviously cant rely on the post for this -
       which is what started this mess)...  TEC now have it on their
       system. The guy sent me the PE2 form link directly, said have
       til 16th July to get it back to them.
       I have myself now also downloaded PE3 - I assume I will need
       both of them in due course, but PE2 was the one TEC directly
       sent me.

       If it is now registered, have you received the Order for
       Recovery ? Also you have a period after the OfR is dated, to
       submit a Witness Statement in time, and use of the Form PE2 is
       not needed.
       Submitting OOT is always fraught with difficulty, because the
       council can and will oppose it, whereupon TEC reject your WS.
       Yes, this decision can be reviewed by a judge, but it costs you
       a fair amount of money and success is no guaranteed, plus the
       sums are non-recoverable.

       It is now registered yes, I only know because I phoned TEC
       I have not received any notification in the post - but that is
       rather the whole problem.
       This all started cause our postal system is shocking these days
       but this systems seems propped up on saying "oh we posted it"
       ::)

       It is really important that you don't use a PE2 form. (did TEC
       really send one?)
       Use PE3 and include your correct current address.
       Where it asks 'applicant', that is Westminster, not you.
       Don't use post! e-mail the form to whatever the address
       currently is on the TEC website (I'm not up to speed)

       Yeah - I spoke to TEC again... the guy that I had spoken to
       previously had misunderstood me, hence sending the link for PE2.
       I now have PE3 and aiming to get it signed and emailed in.  I
       used one of these before so just going to check on the procedure
       again.

       Managed to get an appointment at local county court today - PE3
       signed, witnessed.  I will now scan and send it to TEC.
       IIRC as long as I receive an acknowledgement from their email
       system then it is all good.
       Things will percolate back through to the relevant council and
       they then 'restart' things as though I am just receiving the
       notification which I did not get the first time round.
       EDIT: to add, I have received acknowledgement of receipt of my
       email (PE3 scan attached).
