They're definitely behind some kind of backlog. They've only
just responded asking for Authorisation again (for the formal
rep). Silly buggers.
I've given it again, along with a reference to the original
authorisation given back in June.
So now they'll formally respond to me in the next week.
What I find interesting is on the latest authorisation request,
they haven't blanked out the person working in PCN Processing's
name / Job Title / direct line. It actually looks like the
person responding has slapped on their email signature to the
bottom of the letter, so now I know exactly who's dealing with
this.

As per the other forum. You may disclose their name but a PM
will do. Please keep us up to date with the correspondence.

I don't really have a preference on this one - although if it
were to make any difference then I'd be open to it. I'd hazard a
guess that the name of the person shouldn't make much of a
difference whatsoever. I just found it particularly unusual that
their email sig ended up at the bottom of the letter as I've
always found any such comms of this nature to generally be as
obscure, generic and templated as possible.

I've had a reply from them today. They've decided to not cancel
the notice. I've been sent a Notice of Rejection, along with a
London Tribunals form ("Your right to appeal against a Bus Lane
Penalty Charge") appended to the letter.
What would you like me to upload?
I've noticed that the form has the vehicle owner details
pre-filled, rather than the driver (me). They've addressed the
Notice of Rejection letter to me though.

Well, they have messed up the 28 days time period. The law:
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/1996/9/...edule/1/enacted
Rejection of representations against enforcement notice
5Where any representations are made under paragraph 2 above but
the council concerned do not accept that a ground has been
established, the notice served under sub-paragraph (10) of the
said paragraph 2 (in this Schedule referred to as “the notice of
rejection”) must—
(a)state that a charge certificate may be served under paragraph
8 below unless before the end of the period of 28 days beginning
with the date of service of the notice of rejection—
(i)the penalty charge is paid; or
(ii)the person on whom the notice is served appeals to a traffic
adjudicator against the penalty charge; and
(b)describe in general terms the form and manner in which such
an appeal must be made;and may contain such other information as
the council consider appropriate.

NOR date is today. How did you receive it? By e mail? If by
post, this is impossible.
As it is now Tribunal time, I am happy to take this one on and
represent you if you wish.

I received it by email today.
I've read what you've said about 3 times and it's not going in.
I'll re-read it after lunch. Legal wording clearly isn't a forte
(hence why I'm here!!).
I'll be back in an hour or so! Thank you for taking the time to
do the due diligence (even though I haven't 10)% followed
exactly what you've explained yet).
I'd appreciate it if you could take this on either way - in case
you were wondering where I stood on that one. Just let me know
what you'd like me to do and I'll get it done.

I suggest an immediate FOIR to ask when the signage had/has been
repainted etc. I will PM you. I think the strongest ground
here is the signage and where you entered the lane.

I haven't driven down that way in a few weeks now, but last time
I did the lines for the bus lane hadn't been repainted. The only
Bus Lane sign that exists at the junction is still damaged/bent,
and there was no bus lane sign showing to anyone who happen to
be sitting at the lights (as I was), so only the slightly
damaged one exists on the lead up to the sign (2-3 car lengths
behind the traffic light where I was stationed).
The lines I referred to in my earlier posts are the yellow
double lines (which were arguably less faded than the bus lane
lines, but repainted nonetheless).

I will take a look sometime this weekend. Sorry, I have been a
bit busy of late and without a vehicle; but, I will fulfil my
promise and have a good look and take pictures.
I will then draft a FOIR and send it myself to them which will
give us time to formulate decent submissions.
