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).
