Well done to Manchester City Council for at least looking at the evidence. Expect a rejection any day.
I practice law in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, London Tribunals, the First-tier tribunal for Scotland, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for Northern Ireland, but I am not a solicitor or a barrister. Notwithstanding this, I voluntarily apply the cab rank rule. I am a member of the Society of Professional McKenzie Friends, my membership number is FM193 and I abide by the SPMF service standards.

So they've looked at it - why rejection thought case was strong ?
Because the amount due on the council website is £35, if they'd cancelled it it would be zero.

That being said, councils reject 99% of informal representations because they know that most people will give up and pay at that point.

OK do I still fight ? ( today last day of it being £35)

I've won two privates before, one cancelled straight away, one didn't then I sent a follow up letter and won

Have you received the rejection letter?

In any case Manchester normally reoffers the discount if you challenge the notice to owner within 14 days, so on that basis you might as well carry on as it involved very limited risk.
