We received your representation on Mon, 14 Oct 2024 and we will reply in due course. You do not need to make representations again.

I made my representations yesterday evening, using both points advised by @mrmustard.
When I submitted it, a message was displayed saying "Unfortunately, we have been unable to send a copy of your challenge by email. Your challenge has been logged and will be processed by one of our officers promptly".

Not sure why they were unable to send an email but I assume I'll receive a response by post. I shall update this thread here when I do.

Thanks both to @mrmustard and @Hippocrates for your help so far!

Whose name is on the PCN.

Is the same name on the representations?

Yes, only the Limited company can make a representation so do it as  Director on behalf of the company. Start by stating ' this a representation by ....Ltd' and the same as before.

Apologies for not being clear in my last post.

It's scenario 1; the PCN was addressed to my LLC and yes, I made the representation without specifying my position and authority at the company.

So should I resubmit the same representation as before but stating I am representing the LLC in my capacity as director?

Is it still worth submitting the 'signage not clear' grounds, given they have already rejected that?
Or should I just go with the "council did not have the right to transfer liability" grounds?

I've now received the latest response from Lambeth Council.
As they did last time, they have rejected the grounds of the signage not being clear, which was to be expected.
However, they make no reference at all to the grounds of their not having the right to transfer liability.

Do I submit a third appeal and draw their attention specifically to those grounds?

Happy New Year all!
I have an update on this PCN for you.

I took the decision at the end of November to give in and pay the reduced amount of £65 while it was still available. However, I attempted to do this on November 28, within 14 days of the date of the previous letter, but the amount I was being prompted to pay was £130.

The only suitable way I could find to contact Lambeth Council about this was to submit their letter to them as 'additional evidence', explain that I was not seeing the option to pay £65, as the letter stated I would be able to, and requested that I be informed how to pay the reduced amount.

I was away over December for a few weeks but kept checking the Lambeth PCN payment link to see if they prompted amount would drop to £65. It did not.

I returned at the end of December to find the response letter below waiting for me. Instead of addressing my question about the PCN amount, it seems to be a canned response, virtually identical to the original one they sent, rejecting my appeal.

I continued to check the PCN payment link but it has now gone up to £195.

As soon as I saw this, I re-tried the 'additional evidence' approach, again submitting their letter of November 14 which stated I had 14 days to pay the reduced amount of £65, pointing out that the amount had now been increased to £195 and asking for someone to get in contact with me to explain how to pay the reduced amount.

I do not have much faith in receiving a useful response so wanted to ask here what you suggest my next step should be?

As always, thank you for your sagely advice in advance!
