Blue badge displayed, No PCN notice on the car but expected to
pay fine

I parked in a residents permit only bay in camden, London using
a blue badge. I was surprised to then find weeks later i got a
PCN. The letter from westminister council stated I did not
display a blue badge and that a PCN was attached to the car.
However the photos the council took of my car do not show any
PCN attached to the windscreen. I did not find any notice on the
car when i returned to it either on the day otherwise i would
have dealt with it much sooner. In fact they actually show what
i think is the blue badge on display in the front on the
dashboard just behind the windscreen. See attached photos. These
were taken by the PCN officer supposedly. I also included the
sign showing the parking restrictions for that bay. My mothers
blue badge is issued by barnet council. The bay is a shared bay
between camden and westminister. They have differing rules on
blue badge usage for residents permit bays. Westminister does
not allow but camden does. So I took that as being ok to park in
as camden allow blue badge for those bays. Anyway what i want
information on is what should i do. I have been offered the
lesser fine of £80 to pay if i pay early. I appealed the notice
once but was rejected as the letter stated i had no blue badge
displayed. In the councils photos nothing is clear. Normally
they take photos of the PCN notice attached clearly to the car
before they leave. They just took some long distance shots with
unclear photos of the windscreen and no clear photo of the PCN
attached to the windscreen. Should i appeal using the tribunal
option they have? What is the best option in this case. I 100%
believe i did place the blue badge on the dash before leaving
the car and there 100% was no PCN attached to my car on
returning.
