I am having issues with the Wandsworth Borough Council with regards to parking permit and ownership of a vehicle. I dispose of a vehicle in April 2006 and had a DVLA confirmation in writing.
I received a pcn from Wandsworth council in September 2006 for a contravention in July 2006 for the same vehicle. After a lengthy verbal ad written dispute, the council sent me a notice of acceptance letter for the charge agreeing that I do not owe the vehicle at the time.
On the 28th of December 2006, I received a court order of recovery initiated by the council for the same PCN stated above. I have written several letters of explanation to everybody involved including DVLA. Now TEC (Traffic Enforcement Centre) in Northampton one of the groups I wrote to insists I have to make payment as requested by Wandsworth Council. What do I do??? help
Thanks for your kind advice regarding this issue. TEC had written to me earlier regarding my explanation and response to the pcn from WANDSWORTH claiming that the contents of my letter had been duly noted... but are unable to comment on the validity of the original PCN or any representations that i may have already made against the charge.
According to TEC, WANDSWORTH has registered a PCN charge in my name and they intend to issue a warrant of execution against me. My only options to prevent further action is to either pay the PCN or Appeal by filing a Statutory Declaration (PE3), but for this form to be accepted, it must be signed in front of a Commissioner of Oaths or an Officer of the Courtetc for which a charge must be paid. GOD!!! all this for a car that i had disposed off fully and legally five months before the first PCN. The current owner may not even be aware of anything. am really confused by this whole thing.
Completing the statutory declaration is necessary to get the judgement set aside.
Once you have done that, you can get the ticket thrown out by the adjudicator and clain costs. If the adjudicator will not allow costs (and they only do if the council is unreasonable), then sue the council in the small claims court for all your expenses in dealing with this.
