I disagree with the Adjudicators Decision.
Does anyone think I have a point?
My response to Patas:
QUOTE
To Whom It May Concern,
Reference : PNXXXXXXX
Date : 28 April 2015
• I received the above PCN on 1-Oct 2014 @ 16:18 for parking on a Single Yellow Line.
• Date of Notice posted was 7-Oct 2014
• I appealed on 13th October 2014 via Fax (See attached letter and invoice)
• No notice of acceptance or rejection was received until Charge certificate was sent to me on 21-Nov 2014.
• Total of 39 days had elapsed
• Looking through the evidence that LBN sent to PATAS, I see that LBN had sent me a notice of rejection on 20-October 2014 but I never received this letter in my post. The first time I saw the Notice of rejection was when I was looking through the evidence pack they sent me on 7-April 2015
• I would like LBN to provide evidence by way of proof of postage and recorded delivery signature that they did indeed post there letter of rejection and that I received the same.
• I find it strange that I originally received all correspondences from LBN but not the notice of Rejection.
I would like to take this opportunity to address points raised in the Notice of Rejection dated 20 October 2014 since this is the first time I have had the opportunity to do so.
The only reason for not accepting my representation according to the letter from Notice of Rejection because the writing on the invoice is feint and cannot be read.
I have provided a copy of original letter I sent and a more legible copy of the invoice. If I had received a copy of the Notice of Rejection I would have provided a clearer invoice as requested and maybe all this effort could have been saved. The photocopy clearly states the customer’s name, address, date of the invoice, item being delivered, and the delivery date scheduled.
I was loading a wardrobe & I also load for other deliveries and as you can imagine this can be quite a difficult task given the nature of my business.
I load items into the van and then close the shutter because we take security very seriously, especially after the riots where our van was vandalised from the inside. During delivery, the shutter is opened, goods are loaded\unloaded and then the shutters are closed straight after for security reasons. In addition, by law, I am allowed 20minutes to load \unload on a single Yellow Line.
The CD provided does not show footage for the full 20 minutes therefore LBN cannot prove there was no activity within the 20minute time allowed to park on a single yellow line to load.
I hope you find my responses to the Parking and Traffic Enforcement satisfactory and you find in my favour.
If you do not find in my favour, I humbly request you order I pay the original PCN charge of £65 as I responded within the allotted time to take of advantage of the discounted rate
Kind Regards

And PATAS's Response:
I'd really appreciate some feedback and next steps if I should appeal?
Thanks
