DART Charge notice NH - Bristow&Sutor - Notice of
enforcement
DIR By: azuremumbai80
Date: September 26, 2025, 12:39 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
I received a letter from Bristow&Sutor today(26/09/2025) with a
payment deadline via my accountancy address on 23/09/2025 . It
states about National Highway DART payment due .However I
already have a direct Debit for my Car in the DART portal since
April .
It mentions warrant is issued dated 25th July and 1st Compliance
stage fee as 75£ adding to 117£ debt and total to 192.50£ .There
are no details on the day of the issue and appeal..Just a letter
to pay or DebtManagement will visit to confiscate the
belongings.
Can you please guide what needs to be done here ?

You've redacted the vehicle reg form the posted document. You
are explicitly told not to redact the PCN number and the vehicle
reg in the READ THIS FIRST - **BEFORE POSTING YOUR CASE!**

/>sticky post to be found at the top of this forum.
What is the vehicle reg?
Is the Notice of Enforcement addressed to you at your address?
Or might it be addressed to a company? Or perhaps a lease
company?
I ask because you seem to be missing most of the statutory
notices. The postal PCN, Charge Certificate and the the Order
for Recovery. So where did they go to?
The PCN and subsequent notices would have been sent (served) to
the person or entity at the address held by the DVLA as being
the Registered Keeper at the time of contravention. The RK is
presumed to be the owner of the vehicle and is liable for the
penalty. Are you the RK?
Do you know the date of the original PCN?
The DART people are normally pretty good at cancelling PCNs for
a first offence. They also had problems with collecting the
charges in the past. Might the failure to pay the charge have
happened before you set up the auto-pay?

To challenge the issue of an Order for Recovery you must file a
witness statement with the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC). To
do this, fully complete and submit a TE9 form for each
individual PCN.
Once you have completed the form, save the changes and send an
email with the completed form to

The TE9 form for appeal mentions a clause to appeal - I did not
receive the PCN .
Was wondering if I should use the option as I never received any
PCN from DART and was not even reported by my accountant who
maintains the communication and business address.

The Notice of Enforcement was addressed to the Company Secretary
as it is a company Lease vehicle and I am the registered keeper.

communication. Though the address was requested for update
earlier year to the vehicle finance company.
Yes I am the Registered keeper of the vehicle and I was not
informed of any PCN or notices at the company address or
Accountants address) ..I just received the letter yesterday .
I very much doubt that you are the 'registered keeper'. In fact,
I suspect you are well down the legal liability tree:
Vehicle finance company;
Your company/employer(vehicle lessee);
You(e.g. authorised driver, officer of the company etc).
Anyway, what happens next?
If the debt is not paid(by anyone, even you) then bailiffs may
attend the address of the legal entity named on the NoE and
SEIZE goods.
Not something you particularly want to happen, do you.
IMO, having regard to what appears to be the pass-the-parcel
approach of your company and that the payment deadline on the
NoE has passed I suggest you PAY the debt and argue* the toss
afterwards.
*- remember that if you are not named on the NoE then without
written authorisation of the person who is they MAY NOT deal
with you because you are a legal stranger to these proceedings.
NEITHER will the Traffic Enforcement Centre, so don't bother
with any submission unless you have the addressee's permission
in writing.

Thanks.
If the bailiffs attend the address of the legal entity named on
the NoE , there wont be the required goods to seize as the car
is not on the address of the NoE. It is with the registered
keepers address.
Any thoughts ?
