       Charge certificate - The Road User Charging Schemes (Penalty Cha
       rges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (E - no original PCN

       These are the steps to be followed in a case where:
       1) You have not received either a postal PCN, but
       2) You have received a charge certificate issued under The Road
       User Charging Schemes (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and
       Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2013 (the name of the
       legislation will be on the charge certificate).
       In this scenario, wait for the 14 day period stated on the
       charge certificate to expire, wait another week (but not a day
       more) and check whether the debt has been registered with the
       Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC).
       For Birmingham City Council cases, you can rely on the
       information shown on
  HTML https://pcn.birmingham.gov.uk/userservices/<br
       />(once the debt has been registered with TEC, the PCN amount wi
       ll
       go up by £10 to £190)
       For all other cases, we cannot yet say how reliable the council
       websites are at showing the £10 increase, so the best approach
       is to simply call TEC on 0300 123 1059 (first thing in the
       morning if you want to avoid a long wait) and ask if your PCN
       has been registered (do not ask anything else, they cannot help
       you with any other query whatsoever).
       If the PCN has not been registered with TEC, put a reminder in
       your calendar to call again after 7 / 10 days (not longer),
       repeat the process until the debt has been registered.
       As soon as the debt has been registered, use form TE9 which you
       can download from here:
  HTML https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62e14db38fa8f5649f912647/TE9.pdf
       You need to tick the box next to "I did not receive the penalty
       charge notice."
       You can fill the form in on your computer, there is no need to
       print it as the court will accept a typed signature.
       Note: the "Applicant" is not you, it's the enforcement
       authority, you are the Respondent.
       You should then attach the completed form to an email and send
       it to tec@justice.gov.uk (do not print it off and send it in the
       post), put the PCN number in the subject line, you should get an
       immediate automated acknowledgment.
       If you get an Order for Recovery and form TE9 in the post
       shortly after you have emailed the PDF TE9 form to TEC, you can
       ignore the copy delivered in the post as long as you have the
       acknowledgment email from the tec mailbox.
       If you get an Order for Recovery and a printed TE9 form before
       you have emailed the PDF TE9 form to TEC, you should fill it in
       and email it immediately.
       If you have any questions, please ask on your thread.
