Notice of Enforcement - Did not receive PCN nor court summons/information

ekoforshow

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I received a Notice of Enforcement from Equita. Important to note that with only getting post once a week now, I received this AFTER the date of payment indicated on the reverse of the letter.

The bigger issue is that I do not know the details of original contravention. I did not receive a PCN prior from the L.B Harrow nor did I get any information that it had been taken to court and a judgement given. Now this notice of enforcement just has in the description of offence "A warrant of control was issued by the court for non payment of a penalty Charge Notice due to L.B Harrow on 12/08/2022 regarding FAILING TO COMPLY WITH A SIGN INDICATING"

Nothing else.

I have emailed both the L.B Harrow and Equita to request further information so that I may contest or accept the contravention and noted that as I did not receive the original PCN it be returned to L.B Harrow so I can review the alleged offence. I also informed that I have not changed my address nor changed the registered address of my vehicle nor the vehicle itself.

I am at a loss at how to proceed and my initial thought when I opened the envelope that it was a scam, however, doing a little digging it is evident that a few boroughs do contract out/pass on fines to this company. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated

Probably because your car V5C still has the car registered to your old address?  Changing your address on your driving licence isn't enough.

For the very best advice on what to do about this, register and post on pepipoo's Council PCNs forum.

Not at all. The car has always been registered at my current address.

But thanks, I'll go register at the Pepipoo forum

That's odd.  I wonder where the PCN, Charge Cert and Order for Recovery were sent?
