On 15-Nov-2019 we received an Order for Recovery of Unpaid PCN from London Borough of Harrow that relates to an offence that took place on 30-Jan-2017 (based on CCTV evidence so no PCN manually served) - this is almost 3 years ago.
We received none of the PCN correspondance that was alegedly sent to us by the local authority concerned - so this is the first notification we have had with regard to the offence. Please can you advise me whether this summonse via TEC in Northampton County Court has any legal standing since the event was almost 3 years ago - i.e. the Local Authority is out of time. Many thanks for your advice. |

Are you the registered keeper. If so go check the address on the V5C and if correct check when it was changed to that address. In any case if you didn't get the PCN you can make a declaration that will cancel the debt recovery process and the letter you have should tell you how.

The V5C has the correct address - and we didn’t get the correspondence that should have been sent – and I know we can file a defence based upon this very fact.
However, my question was "is there a time limit on the length time that London Borough of Harrow has allowed to elapse between the alleged offence and serving the order for recovery"? In other words – does the TEC summons have any legal basis as London Borough of Harrow are out of time. |

an offence Of what? my question was "is there a time limit on the length time that London Borough of Harrow has allowed to elapse between the alleged offence and serving the order for recovery"? In other words – does the TEC summons have any legal basis as London Borough of Harrow are out of time. Which isn't immediately relevant but we'll address later. For now we concentrate on maintaining your safety. What do you propose anyway --- ignoring it? -------------------- |

So make the statutory Declaration on the enclosed form and come back when you hear from TEC.
DO NOT complicate it by writing anything in the 'reasons' box. Note to members Here is the copy of the Penalty Charge Notice they sent with the Order for Recovery of Unpaid Penalty Charges. Sch1 7(9) applies. This is the new PCN -------------------- |

What do you mean by "Sch1 7(9) applies - This is the new PCN"?
I am not a solicitor hence I dont undertand the terminology used. |

What do you mean by "Sch1 7(9) applies - This is the new PCN"? When TEC revoke the OfR Harrow normally have the option of cancelling everything or issuing a new PCN. Here, unusually, they've pre-empted that by enclosing a copy, which counts as a new PCN and is deemed served on the day your Stat Dec reaches TEC. I doubt they even know this themselves and, potentially, they are likely to cock something up. -------------------- |

So when the TEC revoke the charge certificate and the order for recovery they do note revoke the PCN. As the council sent a copy with the OfR that copy is then deemed served on you on the date of service of the statutory declaration.
The date I am interested in is the date of the CC, your best bet is that there is an unfair time between that and the OfR This post has been edited by PASTMYBEST: Mon, 18 Nov 2019 - 19:37 -------------------- All advice is given freely.

deemed served on you on the date of revocation of the OfR. I would have thought so, makes sense but no, date SD is served. Lots of opportunity for Harrow to fall over their own feet here. -------------------- |

The draughtsman of the 2003 regs must have been on something weird I will edit the post to reflect Maybe there's been an amendment. It's terribly unfair on anyone filing SD towards the end of 21 days. Here is the copy of the Penalty Charge Notice they sent with the Order for Recovery of Unpaid Penalty Charges. Just that single side or were there more pages? -------------------- |

All TEC do is register the debt, advise the enforcement authority who can then issue the Order for Recovery.
If your V5C has had the same address since the original PCN, then something is seriously wrong, and one has to suspect, (assuming it is a postal PCN), they incorrectly transcribed the address passed to them by DVLA. What other reason can there be for two documents going missing, (PCN and Charge Certificate) ? OP, do not miss the deadline for submitting your Statutory Declaration or things will get mega-difficult. Your reason for the declaration is non-receipt of the original PCN. |

OP your timescale is set for you
you must file your statutory declaration this triggers the date of PCN and you then have 14 days to pay the discount or 28 days to pay the full amount, or make representations We can make a representation that will get this to adjudication, there you will have a good chance of winning your appeal due to the delay This post has been edited by PASTMYBEST: Mon, 18 Nov 2019 - 20:52 -------------------- All advice is given freely.
