    They have 35 days to respond to an initial appeal.

    Ok, but same question I guess - what happens after 35 days ?
    When I appealed their website said to contact them if we hadn’t heard after 28 days.  I take it that’s a ruse to get us on the phone and catch us out.

    I knew that would be your next question

    The answer is , nothing , it isn't enforced by anyone , not even the BPA

    You may have cause for complaint to the BPA based on their tardiness of failure to cancel or issue a Popla code

    But for now it's like waiting for a covid19 vaccine , sit on your hands and wait

    If you want to chase it up and remind them of your appeal and when it was done , then do so , but try logging into their website and see if there is still an outstanding balance or not , plus check your spam folder too

    Only a fool would phone them !

    I would follow it up or complain to the BPA on day 35, as we have seen PPCs pretend they posted a rejection letter with POPLA code, and by the time the person follows it up, lo and behold, the POPLA code has expired.

    Thanks both, much appreciated.
    I shall wait till day 35 then, and make contact.
    If I put the PCN ref into their website it
    saya “ Unfortunately you are unable to appeal this charge at this time.”

    Possibly because they already have your appeal under consideration?  But I'd be inclined to fire an email off to them and ask 'Why?'.
