Streatham, Transport for London, Code 46 - Stopped where
prohibited (on a red route or clearway), Streatham High Road

Hi,
I would really appreciate some advice please.
At the end of July I had to call 111 who made an emergency out
of hours doctors appointment for me at my nearest hospital. I
was in alot of pain. It was late,, around 9:30pm. The doctor
issued an emergency script at a select pharmacy which was due to
close shortly. I made my way there and there was no parking. It
was my only chance at getting the help and medication I needed.
I had to park in a no stopping area for the duration of fetching
emergency medication. I was careful not to block traffic.
TFL issued a fine for £80. I appealed and gave them evidence of
doctors appointment, call history to 111 and the receipt from
the pharmacy. I heard NOTHING from them at all and then today I
received a Charge Certificate of £240!!!
When I lookup the PCN online it says they emailed me - but I
didnt receive an email or letter from them until this point.
I have no idea what to do. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated please.

First advice is not to pay the Charge Certificate. This is sent
out by their computer after the time period following their
apparent email rejecting your reps was sent. However, I'm
suspicious of what they say because I would have expected such
an important letter, and it has to be a letter, to be sent by
post.
Fortunately, there is a process which caters for things like
this which are unfortunately very common nowadays. You wait for
them to post you an Order for Recovery, (OfR). This raises the
amount by £10 being the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC),
registration fee for registering the PCN and debt. Until they do
this they can take no action to collect the money, as it has not
been authorised by a court. TEC is a form of county court, but
without judges or courtrooms. BTW there is absolutely NO CHANCE
of a CCJ being granted in the process.
Included with the OfR will be the form to submit a Witness
Statement (Form TE9) in which you can report one of three
things, one of which is that you submitted representations but
did not receive a rejection notice.
It is very important that you now be proactive and check with
TEC about every 10 days from the end of the payment period shown
on the Charge Certificatenow on whether the PCN has been
registered. Once it has, you can download the form from the TEC
wewbsite. Don't be mislead about references to Dart CHarge or
Mersey Gateway; your PCN is issued under the Transport
Management Act 2004, which means you must submit a WItness
Statement, the other London-specific Act under which other PCNs
are issued demand use of a Statutory Declaration, a whole
different process.
If you are able to view your PCN on the TfL website, and the
current penalty, it will be showing £240, and this will become
£250 when the debt is registered. You can, of course, wait for
OfR in the post, but we have seen too many people not receive
this and suddenly find bailiffs at their door. So best to keep
checking regularly. Never rely on TfL or, indeed, London
councils to do the right thing, they often don't.

Thank you so much [member=12]Incandescent[/member] and
[member=5]John U.K.[/member]
May I please ask if I select:
"I appealed against the local authority’s decision to reject my
representation, within 28 days of service of the rejection
notice, but have had no response to my appeal."
OR
"I made representations about the penalty charge to the
enforcing authority concerned within 28 days of the service of
the Notice to Owner, but did not receive a rejection notice."
I think it's the first one, but I wanted to please make sure as
I'm new to doing this and don't want to mess it up.

It's the second one. You submitted reps against the PCN, but the
next thing you received was the Charge Certificate. So you
haven't received their letter rejecting your representations
against the PCN.

Hi [member=12]Incandescent[/member] and [member=5]John
U.K.[/member] I followed the steps, and today I received a
County Court letter saying the order for recovery and penalty
charge is revoked, but the original PCN is NOT cancelled. I have
no idea what to do next - Do I appeal the whole thing online
again? I don't have the original appeal I made online as they
don't send you a digital copy of this on purpose I guess(hope
that isn't a bad thing?)

For a missing rejection, TFL must refer the case to London
Tribunals.
For what to do see here - the pics are missing but the
instructions aren't.

these online?

Hi [member=2249]stamfordman[/member], the TFL site says this
under the PCN status "On Hold: SUS40 - Statutory Declaration
Receipt". I called the number on the link and London Tribunals
say they havent received anything yet.
[member=428]H C Andersen[/member], I don't have copies of the
exact representation apart from the TEC. I have an approximation
- is that ok?
