    Copy/photo the pcn and the nto, both sides and remove personal bits, leave dates. Pepipoo.com have a great track record of overturning tickets and were not too shabby on here. About 75% of all formal appeals succeed even if they have to go to adjudicator.
    Host pics on tinypic and copy/paste the url into a post.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Follow PTP's good advice, post pics of all small print on the PCN here and on a new thread on pepipoo forums. Also a pic of the rejection letter (minus your ID details and PCN number/ref). Pepipoo link to the right board:

    Councils almost always decline informal reps (after getting the PCN). Almost always, it doesn't mean you don't have a case, they just like to play a game of bluff at first. They want people to just pay up (I wouldn't). Don't let it put you off!

    So post up that PCN and the rejection letter, and let us know more.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    The complete possible steps are:-

    Informal appeal to the Council.
    Formal representation to the NTO.
    Representations to the adjudicator.
    You can appeal the adjudicator's decision to the Chief Adjudicator.
    Judicial Review

    You are only at the first step it seems.

    The process is described on both the PATAS and the TPT websites, see whichever is the applicable site.
    From memory both of those sites do not list ALL the possible steps for reasons that are either hard to fathom or all too easy to fathom.

    You are most welcome.

    You can in fact submit multiple informal appeals to the (TMA based) PCN which is something many councils trip themselves up over. Such tripping by them can be useful to you later in the process so I recommend it as a standard practice.
