I've just now checked the online status and was highly surprised
to learn that the council allegedly replied on the 14th of
November:

I obviously haven't received anything in the post and I haven't
received an email either in that time.
How should I proceed as the online portal is also warning me
that the fee is about to increase to £195.00

Worry not ! Letters from councils are going astray more and more
often.
ALl you do is now wait for the Charge Certificate to arrive,
(the £195), but do not pay it, and at the end of the period
given in it to make payment, after about a week, you phone the
Traffic Enforcement Centre, and ask whether the PCN has been
registered. When the council register the debt, they will send
out an Order for Recovery. However, as you have had one document
fail to arrive, you mustn't miss this final OfR stage, so by
contacting TEC at weekly intervals, until the PCN is registered,
you can then, even if the OfR has not arrived, submit a
Statutory Declaration (Form PE3) and the matter will be reset to
the Notice to Owner stage, (reps submitted). On the PE3 you tick
the box for "submitted reps but got no reply".

I can hear you saying, "but what if I don't get the Charge
Certificate ?". Answer to that is you'll have to contact the
council, but if the amount is now showing £195 it would seem
they are about to send it out, or have already done so.
It is now plainly obvious that the process relying on Royal Mail
1st Class post is no longer viable with the chaos in Royal Mail.
The law needs to be changed urgently to mandate tracked
delivery. This would cost the councils slightly more money, but
they're making millions already so could afford it.

What a nuisance that is. The council provides an online portal
and are able to parrot back to me, by email, the representation
I've submitted, but somehow can't email out the NoR as well.
[member=1]cp8759[/member] Did we at least catch them with the
tracked link in the representation?

[member=453]neverpaying[/member] yes, they've not opened the
link so we've got them on that.
Honestly I wouldn't faff about with the whole Traffic
Enforcement Centre thingy, if you want to send me a letter of
authority I can just file an out of time appeal with the
tribunal and I can't imagine it would be refused.
I've sent you a PM.
