Some advice before I get in touch with the council would be appreciated.
I had a PCN which I appealed and lost. Here's a timeline of what happened next:
29th July - Adjudication
13th August - Letter of adjudication recieved.
4th Sep - Application For Review sent
7th Sep - Date of Charge Certificate
7th Sep - Emails with EA about early issue of certificate (relative to decision received date)
"London Tribunals (or PATAS as they were previously known) have always sent decisions to the local authority and appellant on the same date. We assumed this was still the case. However I have now spoken to London Tribunals and they have advised that there is a backlog of decisions and some are being sent to appellants late. This is the first we have heard of this.
In the circumstances it does not seem reasonable to demand £195 at this stage. I have reset the case and we will accept £130 as full settlement if the payment is made on or before 22nd September."
22nd Sep - Email from EA:
"I can confirm London Tribunals have recorded that an application has been made to review this decision. The PCN has been placed on hold. If the application for review is unsuccessful you will still be able to pay £130."
9th Oct - Date of letter rejected review
15th Oct - EA response to my email saying I tried to pay via their online system but it would not accept the original amount of £130 as a payment figure.
"I have contacted our appeals team and to date they have not received a decision from London Tribunals. Once this information has been received an officer will contact you in writing with regards to payment."
6th Nov - Order of Recovery received
Question: Do I need to do anything with the court regarding the TE3 or just get in touch with the council to see if they will accept the £130 as final settlement?
Thanks.
