Appeal declined and offered only 2 options - pay or lodge appeal against the CCJ

[tedd4]

I received a penalty charge notice in the post on 16 Oct 2021 from Waltham Forest council for allegedly failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone on 2 Oct 2021.

 

When I reviewed the CCTV footage there was no sign just the polls that will hold it which demonstrated the absence of this sign yet the council responded to my appeal that I sent in 18 Oct 2021 pointing this fact out by stating that I should have been aware of what the restrictions were regardless of what my reasons.  I have a rejection letter attached.

 

They’ve given me only two options available to me in light of the fact that they have already issued a charge certificate.  My options are:- 1. pay within 14 days of 20 Oct 2021 or 2. to not to pay within the 14 days and be served with a CCJ to which I can lodge a stat declaration closing one of the standard 4 reasons why the court should cancel it.   Are these really the only two options I have?

Something not right here. According to the council's pcn and charge certificate the contravention occurred in Oct 2020

You cant get a ccj for a pcn.

 

Lodge a sd.

 

The right form to use is in the sticky in the bailiff forum sticky
