       Just by way of update, still no NtO.
       Any thoughts on how long is reasonable to keep waiting until I
       can consider that one won't be coming at all?

       Case reference
       Decision Date
       Ms Ebanks credibly submitted that her car overheated, requiring
       her to stop. She provided a garage receipt. The Council did not
       accept that the receipt corroborated a breakdown and commented
       that it was handwritten and did not contain a VAT number. The
       absence of a typed receipt with a VAT number does not render the
       document worthless.
       I find that the car could not be moved due to circumstances
       beyond the control of the driver.

       Each case turns on its own facts and in this case we know s*d
       all.
       OP, as you're not the RK it's not your direct concern.
       You've already lost one of the forum's most experienced posters
       because you won't post what's been outstanding for 2 months and
       I suggest you do so otherwise you, or more specifically the
       'family member', will likely lose more.
       Time to stop asking questions and answer those already asked.

       I appreciate you're frustrated with the lack of documents on the
       original question, but several users were able to provide
       helpful input without documentation.
       In any case the question is no longer a specific one, the
       question now relates to moving from PCN appeal to NtOs in
       general.
       That is, has anyone got any experience - any at all, from any
       council, anywhere in the country, at any time in their lives,
       regardless of circumstances - of councils simply not sending a
       NtO after initially rejecting an appeal?

       They have 6 months from the contravention date to serve an NTO
       to the registered keeper at the address on the V5C logbook.

       Perfect, thanks very much. That would be February 18, so there's
       still a couple of months for them to send it out if they fancy
       it, then.

       Thanks also for this - shameful that this exact attempt at a
       sham fine has been attempted verbatim already. If the NtO does
       come through and I have to take it up again, I would be very
       surprised if I didn't get a response like this almost
       word-for-word. I can't believe councils even bother trying to go
       to tribunal on such pathetic grounds in the first place.
       Are you able to let me know which council this was from, please?
       Or any other details on the case - just so I can have it on hand
       to refer to, if useful down the line.
