recorded delivery, Royal Mail says they delivered it Westminster Council replied saying I never appealed and have now lost the right to, pay up or we'll send the bailliffs round. I've written back telling them the situation. What happens next? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
The fact that they say they didn't get it means nothing, as long as you can get someone to confirm you posted it.
If you have told them that you sent it etc, but they say tough, then just write again to them telling them you are going to appeal, and for them to hold on with the bailiffs until the appeals process is finished.
If you are a member of the AA or RAC they will give you free legal advice.
