       Hi again
       Thanks for all the assistance so far.
       Unsurprisingly, a letter has arrived from Waltham Forest
       rejecting my representation - with the option to appeal.
       I'm assuming I submit what my representations were to LBWF in
       exactly the same way to the adjudicator
       [member=43]MrChips[/member]?
       You can see why people just pay it off
       With many thanks
       Paul

       When registering an appeal, opt for a personal hearing (will be
       video oor telephone) - never choose decision on papers.
       Please post the letter of rejection (only redact yr name &
       address).

       Yes, please share the notice of rejection so we can see to what
       extent they've considered your representations.

       you have carefully considered (and understood!) my point above
       by explaining the basis for your belief that there was not space
       for my vehicle to move forwards sufficiently to clear the box.
       In particular I kindly request that a templated statement of the
       sort that "the CCTV evidence confirms the vehicle entered and
       stopped in the box junction without ensuring that the exit was
       clear" is backed up with some sort of explanation as to how
       precisely this has been "confirmed" by Waltham Forest given, as
       per my argument above, a cursory review of the video images
       alone does not confirm the length of clear space ahead in any
       way. I emphasise again that merely stopping within a box
       junction is not in itself a contravention, there has to be
       insufficient space to a stationary vehicle ahead to allow the
       vehicle to exit the box junction.

       the circumstances outlined in your correspondence they are not
       sufficient grounds for cancellation of the PCN in question. The
       footage shows that the contravention occurred, the vehicle
       should not have entered the Box Junction unless it could clear
       the exit.

       By the way, the opportunity to settle at discount ends
       today/tomorrow (depending on whether the 14 day period commences
       on or from the assumed date of service of the notice of
       rejection - the letter doesn't make it clear).
       My view is that you have more than a 50% chance of success, but
       we can never guarantee 100%.  The fact the notice of rejection
       completely fails to address your main appeal point ups the odds
       of a win a bit.  The letter also shows a complete
       misunderstanding of the rules, and suggests that any stop in the
       box will result in service of a PCN which shouldn't be the case.

       Your mention of the 14 days has also alerted me to the fact that
       the letter took almost 2 weeks to arrive - so when does the
       'served' kick in.
       Another reason to not just give into them.
       Thanks for all your advice!

       I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is it is served when it
       is received at your address.  However, there is a presumption of
       service (when posted 1st class which they are obliged to do) two
       working days after posting unless you can sufficiently
       demonstrate otherwise. So, if you can show somehow it arrived
       yesterday (or whenever) then that's the service date, otherwise
       it's 28 May.
