please, is there anything else I can do?

Yes there is. Do not pay the Charge Certificate (CC). Wait until the period for its payment has expired, then check the PCN status every week until you see that an Order for Recovery has been sent to you. Alternatively you can phone the Traffic Enforcement Centre, (TEC) about every 7-10 days to ask if the PCN has been registered. Once it has, you can submit a Witness Statement that you submitted representations, but did not receive a letter of rejection. The form can be downloaded from TEC, annd is Form TE9.  TEC will then cancel the CC, advise TfL and the matter must then be passed to the adjudicator at London Tribunals for a decision.
