       Please post up the letter, redacting yr name & address.
       I cannot see why they need further evidence as your opening post
       seems convincing.
       However, can you get a photo with a 3/4 image of your own car
       similar to the angle (if not from the same height!) as the 4th
       photo in yr opening post.

       indicate
       the  distictive size window shape of the Merc in the video.
       Also you could edit the number plate photos with arrows to
       highlight the differences.
       That you car was x miles away is irrelevant - the point is that
       it is clearly not the vehicle captured by the TfL camera.
       It ;looks as if they are trying to tick boxes to justify
       accepting your reps.
       See what others say and post your draft submission here before
       sending in.

       is point about Y/V.

       If it's of any benefit, a Volvo SUV's rear lights are vertically
       mounted on the D-pillar, and not horizontal along the
       rear-quarter corner and tailgate/hatch (as depicted in the
       council's pic).

       It doesn't seem to be a clone but a plate misread although we
       have seen plates altered by a bit of tape to make them
       different.

       Looks to me they have only read the first line of your rep and
       pressed the 'cloned' car button reply button (or maybe they
       didn't even get that far, and it was an auto response to the 'it
       wasn't my car' reason for representation).  Surely you can just
       reply with words to the effect of Please review your own photos
       - there is no clone - the car in the photo is not mine, it has a
       different number plate and it is not the same make/model as
       mine.

       attaching a pic of the rear of your car with the lights onto
       highlight the difference might also help to wake them up.
       they won't bother researching photos of the difference so put it
       in front of them

       Hi All, Could you please review my representation letter
       Dear Sir/madam,
       Re: PCN: GX19893768
       I am writing to add more information for my representation to
       challenge the issuance of the above PCN, which I believe is due
       to a misreading of my vehicle's license plate.
       On 01/11/2024 at 18:00, I was working from home and have
       provided proof of an office meeting that occurred during this
       time. Therefore, I could not have been at London Westhorne
       Avenue.
       Upon reviewing the DVD evidence provided, I have identified a
       significant error. The vehicle captured in the video/image is
       clearly a Mercedes Benz GLC 300, which can be easily
       distinguished from my Volvo XC90.
       Key Differences:
       1. Rear Lights: The vehicle in the image has horizontally
       mounted rear lights, typical of a Mercedes Benz GLC 300. In
       contrast, the Volvo XC90 has vertically mounted rear lights on
       the D-pillar.
       !image: PCN_Challenge4.jpg
       Where as a Volvo’s rear light looks like the below
       !image: pcn_challenge7.jpeg
       2. Rear Quarter Window: The rear quarter window in the image
       matches that of a Mercedes Benz GLC 300, not a Volvo XC90. I
       have included images for comparison:
       • Volvo XC90: Volvo XC90 Rear Quarter Window
       !image: pcn_challenge8.jpeg
       • Mercedes Benz GLC 300: Mercedes Benz GLC 300 Rear Quarter
       Window
       !image: PCN_challenge5.jpeg
       The rear quarter window glass in the below image doesn’t looks
       like a Volvo.
       Sample picture of Merc GLC rear quarter window glass
       3. Wheel Disc: The wheel disc design in the image differs
       significantly from that of my Volvo XC90. Below is an image of
       my car's wheel disc for comparison: !My Car's Wheel Disc
       Volvo wheel disc:
       !image:
       Merc Wheel disc:
       4. License Plate: My car's license plate has the dealer’s name
       "Riverside" printed on it, which is not visible in the image of
       the car that entered the yellow junction box.
       License plate of the car in that incident:
       Given these distinct differences, it appears that there has been
       a misreading of the license plate, leading to the incorrect
       issuance of this PCN. The car involved in this incident is not
       mine and clearly looks like a license plate misread.
       There is no clone; the car in the photo is not mine, it has a
       different number plate, and it is not the same make/model as
       mine.
       I kindly request that you review the photographic evidence
       closely and consider the clear distinctions between a Mercedes
       Benz GLC 300 and a Volvo XC90, and cancel this PCN.
       Thank you for your attention to this matter.
       Sincerely,
       [attachment deleted by admin]

       You need to spell this out at the start.
       I am writing to add more information for my representation to
       challenge the issuance of the above PCN, which I believe is due
       to a misread of the offending vehicle's license plate - it
       appears the offending vehicle has the VRM GV22JDX, which is a
       black Mercedes, whereas my car has the VRM GY22JDX. The V may
       have been read as a Y.

       also if you're sending pics of your car make sure the reg plate
       is clearly visible in the photo. otherwise it's just a random
       pic of any volvo

       Hi All, I have posted on 18/12/2024 my responses to the Red
       Routes ,PO Box 335 Darlington DL1 9PU as they requested more
       information on my representation, However I have received the
       letter back and can see the update in the TFL PCN history as `23
       December 2024On Hold: SUS26 - Representation Received
       N/A`. It looks like the explanation letter I sent was not even
       opened. Im totally stressed as I'm not very clear as why the
       letter was returned unopened.
       Thanks in advance for all your help.
