it was PCN not received and letters were sent on wrong address.
Dealer made mistake in address when applying for V5C. Evidence
like letter from car dealer, some address proof and V5C were
attached.
After copies of court letters were sent to council via email, no
replies received back. So no PCN reissued or not delivered to
registered address so far. Nothing from bailiff too but from my
understanding of the past cases posted here in forum, i believe
it's the council who has to order to refund the enforcement
fees? TEC when called said to wait until 90 days from receipt of
court letters before contacting council again.

It's NOTHING to do with TEC now.
Your friend paid £*****.
This must NOW be refunded by the council pursuant to the
revocation of their power to demand this payment dated 25 Jan.
It is irrelevant what the council wish to do as regards pursuing
the PCN(which they may), they MUST refund the money, END OF.
You have not posted the emails. Do any of them demand repayment
and provide details of method e.g. direct to bank account,
cheque etc?
If not, pl say so. We can draft a very short AND SHARP email
reminding them of their legal duty and how the sum must be
remitted.

Still looking for email but if it's not in sent folder, I
suspect probably was using council's webportal. Definitely the
email was just about notifying of the court letter only and 100%
not demanding for the refund of enforcement fees. We thought
it's auto process once the order is made by court. Anyway thanks
for reminder and will appreciate a draft demand letter. Thanks.

Dear Sir,
PCN *********
On ***, I paid the authority £*** for the release of my car
which had been seized by **** pursuant to a warrant of
control(see enclosed receipt).
On 25 February 2026 the court granted ***** permission to submit
a Statutory Declaration Out of Time and by Order(copy enclosed)
revoked the Order for Recovery and directed the authority to
cancel the Charge Certificate. The authority was therefore
required to refund £*** in a timely manner.
My bank details are as follows and I expect payment within 14
days:
*********
Regards,
*******

Many Thanks.
Edit: I just noticed small mistake in court order on PCN number.
There is extra 0 in end (eg FR 65796438 vs FR 657964380) . Does
that make any difference?

To whom and for what? Certainly not the authority and definitely
not any excuse for not contacting the respondent.
Send the email pl

Edit: what a timing. I just received forwarded email and looks
like refund was issued on 15th June. Need to confirm on account
as the payment card was credit card.
Here's the part of reply from complaint department:

> My findings
> Thank you for your email. We identified that case FR65785438
was subject to a revocation order issued by the Traffic
Enforcement Centre (TEC), despite a Paid
> Statutory Out of Time (SOT) application having been submitted
within the required timeframe. Further correspondence was
received on 18 May 2026. To clarify the basis on which the
application had been granted, we contacted the Traffic
Enforcement Centre (TEC) on 3 June 2026. TEC subsequently
confirmed that the application had been approved in accordance
with the relevant regulations. Following receipt of this
confirmation, we contacted the Enforcement Authority (EA) on 15
June 2026 and requested that the refund be processed. The EA
confirmed on the same day that the refund had been actioned. The
remaining administrative steps were then completed, and Box 1
was finalised on 22 June 2026, bringing the matter to its
conclusion.
>
> Conclusion and decision
> For the reasons set out in my findings above, your complaint
is not upheld.
