PCN appeal: didn't receive reply!

Hello everyone,
I received a PCN on 25/09/18. I rang the council and was told that if I wanted to appeal then I had to send an email. I did this by email as requested on 13/10/18, within the limit for the reduced fine. The paperwork says that if I were to appeal then the time to pay the reduced fee would be frozen, and so if I lost the appeal, I would still be able to pay the reduced amount of £65.
I heard nothing but have since received a letter dated 03/01/2019 that I failed to make a representation and now the charge is £195.
I immediately rang the council and asked them what had happened as I had not received a reply to my appeal. The operator said that they had sent me a letter on 6th November rejecting my appeal and that I hadn't responded. I never received this letter!
I don't really know what to do now. Any advice? If I had received the rejection letter I would have just accepted the charge and paid up. But I never had that chance. I feel that this is very unfair.
Any advice? Thanks very much.

Since we tend to specialise in private parking charges here on MSE, you would be better taking this over to our friends on pepipoo.com who are the council and police motoring experts.
You will need to register on pepipoo with a non-Hotmail email address before reading the FAQs, then posting both sides of your redacted PCB with your query. Good lukI married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.
