Hi All,
I received a PCN couple of days back (28/05/19) for a bus lane contravention turning from Whitworth Street onto Oxford Street in Manchester. I didn't notice the signage (which is poor) untill i turn left into oxford street. Also my sat nav took me via this road, i noticed in the cctv image and Google Street View that there is no Red highlighted Bus Lane marking but they marked as Bus gate also spotted one very poor, minimal sign on Whitworth Street approach to junction detection date: 23/05/19 PCN posting: 28/05/19 Contravention: Bus Lane - Oxford Street (Whitworth Street West to Chepstow Street) The Penalty charge of £60.00 must be paid before the end of the period 28 days begining with the date of service of this notice and will be reduced by one half £30.00 if paid before the end of the period 14 days begining with the date of serice of this notice. Can someone please help me where do i start with an appeal? Can anybody point me towards a good letter to help with this? I really have no idea what to do at all. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. https://imgur.com/a/lM09gzm - Copy of the PCN uploaded here. https://imgur.com/a/lM09gzm This post has been edited by Manc1: Fri, 31 May 2019 - 21:56 |

There's no such thing as a "debt county letter".

Hi PASTMYBEST & cp8759,
I have received Order for Recovery of unpaid penalty charge letter asking me to pay £90 charge & £9 court charge total £98 at Traffic Enforcement Center at Northampton County Court. They have given me an option to file a statutory declaration with an enclosed form and send it to Traffic Enforcement Center. "The declaration must be signed before a commissioner for Oaths (eg. a solicitor), or an officer of any county court appointed by a judge to take affidavits or a justice of the peace. You may have to pay a fee" - Where can i find commissioner for Oaths or solicitor in Manchester and how much fee they charge? What happens if i send letter without declaration of commissioner of oaths? They will reject my appplication? I will tick the option - " I made representations about the penalty charge to the council concerned before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of the notice to Owner or Bus Lane Penalty Charge Notice, but did not receive a rejection notice" with additional information and sign it send to Traffic Enforecement. Please advise me where to approach for commissioner for Oaths. Order for recovery letter - https://imgur.com/a/wMfNaJN Thanks. |

What happens if i send letter without declaration of commissioner of oaths? They will reject my appplication? You can't send the declaration without it being witnessed, it would just get rejected. But you don't need to pay anyone, if you go to your local magistrates or county court you can make the declaration in front of a magistrate or county court officer, links below: Manchester Magistrates' Court: https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/...gistrates-court Manchester County and Family Court: https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/...nd-family-court Just call up and explain you need to make an appointment to make a statutory declaration. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Can i just send the form to "The Traffic Enforcement Center"? Do i need to include the email proof from Manchester city council that they acknowledged my appeal and will respond that in 21 days? or just send signed letter? Thanks. |

No the court will just cancel the Order for Recovery and the Charge Certificate. The council should then refer the case to the tribunal.

No the court will just cancel the Order for Recovery and the Charge Certificate. The council should then refer the case to the tribunal. Hi Both, I have received letter from both County court and City council. County court - It is ordered that the order for recovery of unpaid penalty charge be revoked. It is further ordered that the charge certificate be cancelled. City Council - The county court has sent us a copy of your recent statutory declaration.The order for recovery & charge certificate have been cancelled but the county court order did not cancel the Penalty Charge Notice. This means that the penalty charge of £60.00 is outstanding. "We note what you have said in the statutory declaration but: We did receive your representations and sent a Notice of Rejection to you on 12 July 2019". But this is after 21 days (grace period), i made my appeal on Jun 2 and they sent a Notice of Rejection after sendng charge certificate on 12th July which passed my grace period. https://imgur.com/a/aDye5eK Please see both letters above. Now do i need to wait for Adjudicator directions? The Adjucator will contact me if they need further clarification or the council will refer to Traffic Penalty Tribunal? Thanks. |

Now we wait for the adjudicator's directions, but in the meantime ask the council for a copy of the Notice of Rejection which they claim they sent on 12 July.

Hi cp8759, I have asked them before when they sent me charge certificate saying why there is no response to my appeal before they send me charge certificate. They get back to me on 12 July saying "I noticed the comments you mentioned in the letter and i can confirm that we have not received any previous enquiry i have reintroduced the discounted charge of £30.00 provided you pay this within 14 days of the date of this letter". But i got acknowlegement email from them saying they received my appeal and they never replied to me saying whether my appeak is rejected or not. |

There's not much to do aside from waiting for the adjudicator's directions.
