NOTICES OF ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION/APPEAL.

Notice of acceptance.
This is a formal notice issued by the local authority to let you know that they have accepted what you have written and that the matter is closed. You do not need to take any further action.

Notice of rejection.
This is a formal notice issued by the local authority when they do not accept the formal representations that you made concerning the Penalty Charge Notice.

You now have the choice to either pay the penalty charge at the issue rate or appeal to the Adjudicator within 28 days.

An appeal form should accompany the ‘Notice of Rejection’. If this form is not enclosed, you should request one from the relevant local authority as soon as possible.

Notice of appeal.
This is the name given to the Form that will be sent to you with your ‘Notice of Rejection’. Without this, you are unable to take the matter to the Independent Adjudicator. You have a further 28 days to complete the Notice of Appeal which will then need to be sent to the adjudicators.

In order to avoid a Charge Certificate being issued, you should ensure that you deal with this within the strict time limit imposed.
