Since the contravention was less than two weeks from our date of
move, surely we couldn't be expected to have updated the
logbook?
Also, now we are slightly paranoid - what if we accidentally
committed more contravention in the meantime and have more
tickets in our name coming up? How do we check even?

If it's 2 weeks you have a very good case because you don't have
to volunteer the tardy logbook status.
Needs careful wording - for professional help we recommend:

UPDATE
We wrote to TEC and the council and the council has agreed to
re-issue the ticket. Have not had any communication since then
but no letters from bailiff etc. so looks like they've been
asked to back off.
As usual, thanks for the help.

UPDATE
Unfortunately the TEC appeal was rejected and we received a
rejection letter two weeks ago. The grounds were that failing to
update the log book is not a valid reason. Very frustrating.
The worst part it, my partner tried contacting Islington council
for any follow up action with no avail but didn't tell me that
was the case.
And today we woke up with a bailiff from the CDER group knocking
on our door.
It was quite embarrassing of course and we decided to pay £575
(originally the claim was £325) to get them out of our doorstep.
I have no idea if there's any follow on action that we can take
apart from the hard lesson learned.
Thank you for all your help as usual.

I recommended you pay the bailiffs when the lower amount was
requested; any reason for not doing so ? Payment has no
influence on whether a Statutory Declaration is accepted or not
