Received a TFL Charge Certificate but did not receive a Notice
of Rejection

Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice regarding a TfL Penalty Charge
Notice. I received a PCN from TfL a while back, I submitted an
appeal through their website within the time limit.
When I log into the TfL portal, it clearly shows that my appeal
was received. However, I never received a Notice of Rejection
from them.
Instead, I’ve now been sent a Charge Certificate, increasing the
penalty by 50%.
From my understanding (and talking to Chat GPT ;D ), once I get
the Order for Recovery, I’ll be able to submit a statutory
declaration (TE9 form) stating that I made representations but
never got a Notice of Rejection.
I’ve kept evidence:
A screenshot from TfL’s site showing “appeal received.”
My questions are:
I received the Charge Certificate today, Chat GPT says to wait
for the order of recovery, is this correct or should i make
efforts to resolve this before then?
Will the statutory declaration definitely be accepted if I file
it correctly and on time?
I've seen some info saying that i need a witness when filling
out the TE9 form, is this true?
When it resets, will the penalty go back to the full amount (not
the discounted amount I would’ve paid if I’d received the
rejection)?
Has anyone had success in asking TfL to re-offer the discount in
situations like this?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I received the Charge Certificate today, Chat GPT says to wait
for the order of recovery, is this correct or should i make
efforts to resolve this before then? It's correct in principle*.
Will the statutory declaration definitely be accepted if I file
it correctly and on time? Yes.
I've seen some info saying that i need a witness when filling
out the TE9 form, is this true? Who knows, we don't know the
contravention and therefore the relevant legislation e.g.
parking requires a Witness Statement which only you need to
complete whereas moving traffic requires a Statutory Declaration
which needs witnessing etc.
When it resets, will the penalty go back to the full amount (not
the discounted amount I would’ve paid if I’d received the
rejection)? It depends. TfL are required to refer the matter to
the adjudicator but should also notify you when they receive the
court's revocation order with which they should include a copy
of the NOR and might re-offer the discount.
Has anyone had success in asking TfL to re-offer the discount in
situations like this? See above.
*- if the NOR went astray then so could an Order for Recovery
and if you're totally passive in this matter the next stage
could be bailiffs! The solution is simple i.e. just keep
checking TfL's website every 7-10 days and when the anount owed
increases by £10, you know an OfR has been issued. Come back
here when this happens or you actually receive an OfR.

Sorry for the late reply, lots of great information. For
reference the contravention was “Failing to drive in the
direction shown by the arrow on a blue sign (proceeding in the
wrong direction)”
Hope this helps!

On 25/07/2025 the above penalty charge notice was sent to you as
the owner of vehicle registration mark ********* for the alleged
contravention of Failing to drive in the direction shown by the
arrow on a blue sign (proceeding in the wrong direction) that is
in CAMDEN ROAD EASTBOUND JW CAMDEN STREET NWI on 11/07/2025 at
17:58 hrs.
The alleged contravention was seen and recorded by a camera and
has been recorded on digital storage media.
You had 28 days to pay the penalty charge or to make
representation as to why you believed it was not payable.
This charge certificate has been served because the penalty
charge has not been paid before the end of the relevant period
of 28 days beginning with one of the following:
1. No Representations were made in response to the penalty
charge notice.
2. We issued a Notice of Rejection of representations made
against the penalty charge and have not been informed of an
appeal having been made to the adjudicator within the period
which an appeal could have been made.
3. There has been an unsuccessful appeal against a notice of
rejection.
As a result, the penalty charge has now increased by 50% to
£240.00
If we do not receive the amount payable before the end of the
period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the charge
certificate is served, we may register the debt at the county
court and issue an order for recovery. If the charge remains
unpaid a warrant may be issued to the Enforcement Agents to
recover the debt. We advise you to deal with this matter now, as
you may also become liable for any additional county court and
Enforcement Agent fees that apply.

OK, so the next stage is the Order for Recovery, which they can
only serve after the 14 days for payment of the CC has expired,
but it may not happen quickly, so you now need to be pro-active
and check regularly with the Traffic Enforcement Centre whether
the debt has been registered. I believe you can also check the
PCN status on the TfL website, so when the sum owed increases by
£10, (the TEC registration fee), you can submit a Statutory
Declaration that you submitted reps but did not receive a letter
of rejection. The form for the SD can be downloaded from the TEC
website - Form PE 3
HTML https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-pe3-challenge-an-unpaid-penalty-charge-notice
TfL will include this form when they send out the OfR
No doubt you have noticed the omission of the above process on
their CC and the implication that by going to the "county
court", there is the possibility of a CCJ.This is, needless to
say, completely wrong.The legislation was carefully and
deliberately written all those years ago (1991), to cut out
county courts, and to set up the Traffic Enforcement Centre who
essentially, are mere recorders of the debt, and by recording
it, authorise councils to start collecting it. Until an OfR is
served, the debt cannot be collected.
