       TfL tunnel charge PCNs – bailiff stage – TE7/TE9 submitted – non
       -receipt due to address change

       Hi all,
       I’m looking for advice on two TfL PCNs that escalated to bailiff
       enforcement without me receiving any statutory notices.
       Authority: Transport for London (Road User Charging – silvertown
       tunnel charges)
       PCNs:
       YJ76776465
       YJ7708848A
       Status: Bailiff stage (Bristow & Sutor) – warrants issued Dec
       2025
       TE7 / TE9: Out-of-time applications submitted to TEC (awaiting
       registration/decision)
       Background / Timeline
       Contraventions appear to be 26 July 2025 and 1 August 2025.
       I did not receive the PCNs, Charge Certificates, or Orders for
       Recovery.
       I had moved address and had not yet updated the V5C, so notices
       were sent to my old address.
       I only became aware of the matter when bailiff letters arrived
       mid-January 2026.
       I submitted TE7 and TE9 for both PCNs immediately on discovery.
       Bailiffs (Bristow & Sutor) are pressing for payment but have
       been informed that TE7/TE9 are pending.
       Auto Pay
       TfL Auto Pay was set up on 2 August 2025 (confirmation letter
       available).
       I now understand Auto Pay would not have covered the July / 1
       August contraventions, which I accept.
       However, I received no statutory notices at all, so had no
       opportunity to deal with the PCNs before enforcement.
       Current position
       TE7/TE9 submitted to TEC (email confirmation received).
       Bailiffs say they act only on TfL instruction and are continuing
       to demand payment.
       I live in a secure apartment with intercom, car is in an
       underground car park, and the vehicle registration has since
       changed.
       What I’m seeking advice on
       Whether my TE7/TE9 grounds (non-receipt due to address change)
       are sound given the timeline.
       Whether there is anything else I should be doing while TEC
       processing is pending.
       Assuming TE7/TE9 are accepted, the best way to handle matters
       with TfL once the PCNs are reissued.
       I haven’t contacted TfL substantively yet and have not paid
       anything.
       I’ll upload copies of:
       Bailiff letters
       TEC auto-reply
       Auto Pay confirmation letter
       Agent chat logs with the balliffs
       Anything else you need
       Thanks in advance for any guidance, much appreciated.

       You need to make statutory declarations not witness statements
       against these tunnel PCNs so TEC will reject.
       Maybe just as well as we can help you get it right.
       Did you update the logbook after moving though? If you didn't
       out of time efforts are often rejected.

       Hi, thanks for your reply.
       Ah, I mistakenly believed that sending a TE7 and TE9 for each
       PCN was a statutory declaration :/
       I updated the logbook many months after moving sadly.
       Is this still salvageable?

       To add, I'm less concerned with paying the original PCN amount,
       I can take responsibility here. I am more keen to stop the
       bailiff enforcement progressing and hopefully resetting the
       accrued fees.
