Before you pay
A Charge Certificate means the penalty has increased
A Charge Certificate usually increases the penalty charge by 50% and means the council says the earlier appeal or payment deadline has passed. If you ignore it, the case can move to Order for Recovery and then enforcement.
How it works

Why appealing works
Charge Certificate Assessment Criteria
A Cotswold District Charge Certificate Response needs the right response for the stage you are at. Parking Mate UK prepares your challenge using the exact notice, contravention, evidence, statutory deadline, council procedure, and tribunal route that applies.
1
You did not receive the earlier PCN or Notice to Owner
If the earlier Cotswold District notice was not received, you may have been denied the chance to make representations before the Charge Certificate was issued.
2
The Charge Certificate was sent to the wrong address
Cotswold District must use the correct keeper or correspondence address. Wrong-address service can support a reset route if you lost the chance to respond.
3
The Charge Certificate was issued too early
Cotswold District must wait until the required statutory period has expired. A premature Charge Certificate is a procedural defect.

FAQs
Cotswold District Charge Certificate FAQ
Quick answers before you start.
What is a Cotswold District charge certificate?
A Cotswold District charge certificate is issued by Cotswold District after a penalty charge notice has gone through the notice to owner stage without being paid or successfully challenged. It increases the original penalty by 50% and starts a 14-day countdown before the council can register the debt for court enforcement.
How do I challenge a Cotswold District charge certificate?
A Cotswold District charge certificate is not normally challenged by sending a normal appeal. You should check whether earlier notices were served correctly, whether the charge certificate was issued too early, and whether you may have a statutory declaration route when the Order for Recovery arrives.
What is the deadline for responding to a Cotswold District charge certificate?
You have 14 days from the date of a Cotswold District charge certificate to pay the increased amount before Cotswold District can apply to register the debt at the Traffic Enforcement Centre. If you believe you have grounds for a statutory declaration, you should act within this window.
Can I still appeal after receiving a Cotswold District charge certificate?
Your standard Cotswold District appeal options are limited at charge certificate stage. However, if earlier notices were not received, the address was wrong, or representations were not answered, the case may be capable of being reset at the Order for Recovery stage.
How much more do I owe after a Cotswold District charge certificate?
A Cotswold District charge certificate increases the original penalty by 50%. For a higher-band contravention, this means the charge rises from £130 to £195. For a lower-band contravention, it rises from £65 to £97.50. The increased amount must be paid within 14 days unless you have grounds to challenge.
What is a statutory declaration for a Cotswold District charge certificate?
A statutory declaration is a sworn statement filed at the Traffic Enforcement Centre after the debt is registered and an Order for Recovery is issued. If you did not receive earlier notices or made representations that were not answered, it may reset the case to an earlier stage.
