Sorry to not be clear.
I have written a short guide to the process which you can find
hereWhat I mean is that you have 3 grounds of appeal
1 PCN not affixed
2 Lines faded and the wrong length
3 Notice to owner incorrectly worded.
Now you have reached the Notice to Owner you are at the second stage appeal of 3 stages. It is not worth appealing point 3 to Barnet Council as they rarely admit error.
If Barnet Council accept your appeal on point 1 or 2 the game is over and you are in the clear. If they don't, as is more likely, then you go to the third stage appeal, PATAS
At that stage you add in the 3rd appeal point as the adjudicator is impartial and should follow the previous case 213008458A (they are not precedents but the decision should be persuasive). You only need the adjudicator to accept one of your points as valid for the ticket to be cancelled.
If Barnet reject your appeal please put the letter up (personal data crossed out) as any error in that letter, which will be a Notice of Rejection of Representations, can be added as a further appeal point to PATAS.
OK?
Thanks for your help the guide helped alot, just a few questions that if you could clear up for me would be great.
1. I have emailed barnet council using the email address you provided, quoting the first two points, i assume as the NTO has arrived im at stage 2 but i am a bit confused about the time scales that are involved-
-So do i now have to wait upto 56 days?
-Or do i have to appeal through the website?
-Will i get some sort of confirmation that the email has been received
2. I am also a bit worried that i am out of the 28day window to appeal??? If i wait out the 56days will this cause my fine to increase or other action to be taken???
Thanks Stuart
