Re: Bristol CAZ - order for recovery appeal deadline incorrect
on letter OR on TEC system.

Spoken to TEC again today who have confirmed again that it was
registered by BCC on 31st July so deadline on their system is 5
September NOT 11 September as shown on Order for Recovery.
This also means the Order for Recovery which was pisted on 21
August - was sent outside the 15 days allowed for service.
Applied for a review and am then going to make an order to
recover costs against the council through small claims because
this is a ridiculous eff up on their part.

So far we don't know what's happened since Sept. 2025, 8 months
ago.
Why has this arisen so long after the events, I would have
expected the authority to have instructed bailiffs by now.
There's also the issue of the time limit for applying for a
review after TEC's decision. How have you cleared this hurdle?

They did appoint bailfs in Feb. Thats when I called TEC and they
told me my TE9 I'd filed with a TE7 (by email this time to make
sure it was received asap) was the wrong form and they'd used
the wrong email address to let me know. I refilled correct TE9
and TE7 and here we are.
N244 form for a review going in today

UPDATE
Filed an N244 outlining BCC's mistake. It arrived at TEC at the
deadline.
This morning at 7:30, baillifs arrived to take my car. No
notification letter or anything - although apparently, there was
a message in the app (there isn't, nothing except the original
enforcement notice from Feb 2026)
Have put a sticker on it but not a clamp. I've tried to explain
that there is a live appeal ongoing but not joy
I am in a panic and dont know what to do.
Can I move the car so they can't tow it? TEC nor BCC parking
services dont open till 8:30 and I think there is a 2 hour grace
period from 'clamp' to tow
MODIFIED
Just spoke to TEC. It takes up to 5 weeks from the form being
received by them for BCC to be notified. Which means that there
is no way I can prove to BCC that there is an appeal in to get
them to put a stay on the enforcement action.
In that time have no car and it could end up being sold
This is a nightmare

You can pay the bailiffs. Payment does not affect the processing
of your OOT WS at all. If it is accepted, you get the money back
except for the PCN amount which remains valid.

I dont have £500 to pay.
BCC have put a 2 week hold on the action after I sent them a
copy of my N244 form and a receipt showing that I had paid the
fees for a hearing.
Beung caught in this gap between paper (has to be) N244 form
being received and it getting onto the system is awful. Just
pleased BCC recognised this and put a hold on it

UPDATE: I WON!!!
Made a complaint to Bristol City Council and after successfully
arguing that it needed to be dealt with as such rather tan a
service complaint received an email today that says
- They messed up by not issuing the Order for Recovery within 15
days as required by the Civil Procedure Rules Part 75, Rule
75.3(5)
- As a result they are cancelling the PCN
- They are also reimbursing me my N244 application fee
