PCN - Transfer of Liability & TE9
DIR By: tribalboy

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi Guys,
I recently purchased a car from a small dealer and he had racked
up multiple PCNs before he sold it to me and they got
transferred over to my name. I replied back to the council by
email giving proof that I did not own the car when the PCN's
were issued but the council didn't respond and we had to go to
their community hubs to inform them of the situation.
However by the time we got 2 transfer of liability letters from
them indicating that they had transferred liability to the
seller it was too late as I had already got 2 TE3 & TE9 forms
indicating that an order for recovery of unpaid charge had been
made.
Now based on the above do I have to respond to the Traffic
Enforcement Centre, using the TE9 forms with a witness statement
or should I just write a letter or email informing them of my
situation. There is no appropriate option in TE9 that I can
select in it as I shouldn't have been sent the PCN in the first
place. Whats the best possible action that can be done.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi,
The car was purchased in February but the PCN's were issued
in January this year. I did not receive any posts till the end
of Feb. The TE9's came through just after we had been to the
community hub followed shortly by the transfer of liability
letters from the council. Based on this information can anyone
kindly advise what should be the course of action now on.
All I am asking is should I have to respond to the Traffic
Enforcement Centre now that I have received transfer of
liability from the council themselves or would that be
disregarding the order & a contempt which is not my intention.
Or do I need to reply to the TE9 form but in this case none of
the option provided there is the right one for the scenario.
My assumption was since they have transferred the liability they
would withdraw the order and get it re issued to the seller.
Thanks

As I said we need to SEE documents before we can fully
understand and advise.
