Refusal Order
A Refusal Order is a formal letter from the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC). It confirms that your late witness statement has been rejected.
What you can do
You have 2 options:
- pay the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)
- appeal the decision by submitting Form N244 within 14 days
Download Form N244: Make an application to a court (application notice).
There is usually a fee for submitting Form N244.
If you appeal using this form, your PCN case will remain on hold until the TEC makes a decision.
Learn more about appeals against a PCN.
If you do nothing
If you do not take any action, you may be contacted by an Enforcement Agency (bailiffs).
