Bailiff stage, OOT rejected
DIR By: unknowndriver
Date: June 21, 2026, 5:02 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone,
I am absolutely aware of the position i am in, not a position i
would like to be in. To clarify, i have two PCN at the
enforcement stage, no one has showed up to the door yet but
would like to avoid this. I would really appreciate advice and
guidance here please.
One PCN is with Redbridge and the other is with Newham. Both PCN
contraventions occurred last year, due to various personal
reasons that are still ongoing, i have not been on top of my
stuff regarding acting on the PCN. I am uploading the
enforcement action letters. I have had a quick search on this
forum and it seems the best option is to pay up, before someone
comes knocking on my door. However, i would like to know, if
there is a way for me to be able to contact the councils
directly or if taking this down to the adjudicator route, if
thats stil an option.
Rough timeframe:
Both PCN occurred last year. I wanted to appeal for both of them
but couldnt due to family member in hospital (still ongoing)
I left it way too late towards end last year and i needed to
deal with this, with the help of a friend, i submitted the first
OOT statement just before christmas. Did not receive responses
from TEC and honestly, with everything going on, i forgot about
it. I asked family members if any letters had come for me
regarding the TEC, they said no.
I then received enforcement letters beginning of May, told
myself i would get around to it, didnt urge myself
unfortunately. I then called TEC few weeks ago asking for case
updates and they said they received the first OOT statement in
mid January, sent out responses but they didnt receive at my
address.
A potential reasons for this, since last year we have and new
postmen/women and since my family house is built on an existing
street, the door numbers are often mixed up, police have come
round also but for the other address. The other homeowner could
have simply binned them, we have given them their letters when
it came to us. We raised this up with the local post office last
year and this year and had an argument with them regarding it as
they deny never posting wrong letters. This has meant that i
have genuinely not received some letters of the stages and have
been waiting for it to go to the end.
I explained this to TEC and they advised me to do another OOT
and this time Redbridge responded first. Newham have still yet
to respond.
I would like to know what my options are and since i know i have
2 more PCN, with Redbridge that i have not received, how can i
group all of this and pay or work out a solution with Redbridge
themselves.
Would it be ridiculous of me to apply for anther OOT statement?
There reasoning has been that since none of the letters have
been posted back, that i have received them
I have noticed that CDER have only upped their fees to £254
without compliance stage but Newlyn have already added that, is
there a way to ask them about that and see if they remove it?

I have added all the files on that link
Whether it matters or not, vehicle in question was written off
due to an accident a month ago.
Again, understand what i have done, i would appreciate the
advice and guidance. Thank you to whomever reads and responds

Unless you can get an OOT accepted, the bailiffs will enforce.
The amounts they are claiming are statutory, by the wy, they
haven't made them up. The charges were recently increased
slightly.
If you have had an OOT rejected, then you can request a review,
but you have to spend non-recoverable fees to do so. Our advice
is to pay, which fixes your liability, and prevents the
possibility fo seizure of goods. If you have a car, it can be
seized too, if it's on the street.

Your post shows an Enforcement Notice Reminder from CDER in
respect of PCN **621 issued by Newham.
The others refer to PCN ****131 issued by Redbridge.
PCN ****131
You have submitted an OOT citing 'Did not receive the NTO'. This
has been processed by TEC and therefore enforcement action
ceases until you're notified of their decision. You have posted
Redbridge's objection dated 19 June, sent to TEC and copied to
you. This probably gives you a couple of days.
Where is your OOT submission?
PCN ***621
Their reminder (dated 16 June) suggests that enforcement has not
been stopped pending a TEC decision, therefore IMO enforcement
action is likely imminent.
Is there an OOT submission for this? Awaiting
registration/decision or determined?

If an Out of Time application is rejected, you simply cannot
then submit another OOT in the hope that the newer one would be
accepted.
The only route for you is to consider whether you have grounds
in which to seek a review of the rejection. That would require
an application being made on an N244. Depending on our financial
position, there is a court fee of £123 for such a 'review'. If
you receive qualifying benefits, you can claim an exemption from
paying the fee. Further details on an N244 application is here:
