UKPC Appeal Decision

Sorry to bother you all with something you've heard before.
I looked at the guides at the top of the forum and couldn't find the answer.

I had a PCN from UKPC about staying longer than I should have by 13 minutes.  Then I got a Final reminder letter with increase to £100 2 weeks later.

Since receiving the final remainder, I have appealed the PCN (within the 28 days) via online form and got an "appeal confirmation email back" to say that they would reply within 28 days and they haven't.

I never got an email or letter response to say whether the appeal was rejected or not.

The dept then increased to £170 whilst I still waited for the appeal decision, first a letter from ZZPS then GCTT recently.

If this goes to the solicitors next what do I do?  Will the fact that they didn't respond to my appeal and increased the dept to £170 with the dept collectors stop them from following through with a court claim against me?  Would they still win? I've complained to UKPC twice now about not having had a decision on the appeal.

Thanks

    UKPC tend to use bulk litigators DCB Legal and discontinue their claims once defended.

    As you've complained to UKPC you can now escalate the complaint to the BPA AOS team.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
