You can still challenge the underlying Rhondda Cynon Taf County PCN by applying for a TE9 statutory declaration or TE7 witness statement at the Traffic Enforcement Centre.

What is a Rhondda Cynon Taf County notice of enforcement?

A notice of enforcement is a formal letter from a bailiff company (also called enforcement agents) instructed by Rhondda Cynon Taf County to collect an unpaid parking debt. It gives you at least 7 clear days' notice before a bailiff can attend your address.

This stage follows the order for recovery. It means Rhondda Cynon Taf County has progressed the debt through the charge certificate, Traffic Enforcement Centre registration, and order for recovery stages without receiving a response.

However, you can still challenge. If you did not receive earlier notices, or if there are defects in the original Rhondda Cynon Taf County PCN, you can apply for a TE9 or TE7 at the Traffic Enforcement Centre. If accepted, the enforcement is halted entirely and the case reopens at an earlier stage.

Parking Mate AI analyses the original Rhondda Cynon Taf County PCN and enforcement history to identify defects and determine whether you qualify for a TE9 or TE7. Bailiffs cannot force entry to your home for a parking debt under any circumstances.
