Ceredigion County Notice of Enforcement: Know Your Rights

A notice of enforcement is a letter from a bailiff firm instructed by Ceredigion County. It gives you at least 7 clear days' notice before a bailiff can visit your address. It relates to a parking debt that has progressed through the charge certificate and order for recovery stages.

You can still challenge the underlying Ceredigion County PCN by applying for a TE9 statutory declaration or TE7 witness statement at the Traffic Enforcement Centre. If accepted, the enforcement is halted and the case reopens. Parking Mate AI checks whether you have grounds for either route.
