So, postal PCN received but ignored, then CC arrived adding 50% onto the PCN penalty.
Frankly, there is not a great deal you can do about this. If you wait until the PCN is registered at the Traffic Enforcement Centre, adding another £10 onto the amount, you can submit a Statutory Declaration, but none of the three circumstances you can select from on the form match yours. Your only option is pay-up. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but if a recipient of a postal PCN ignores it, then any appeal options are lost.
See here, Form PE3

Edit
I suggest that you contact the council to explain the situation; they may cancel the CC as a courtesy. Your mother can then pay it, or submit representations.

Not too much to explain?
Why do you have a charge certificate - did you make representations against the PCN?
The car is in my mums name and I do not live with her.
She is not great with looking at her letters so by the time it has come to my attention i have been given a charge certificate.
No I haven't made any representations.
Apologies if I said something wrong I am new to this.

Situation
Not too much to explain but I was driving in an unfamiliar area that I hadn't driven in before, and got hit with a 52M PCN: Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle.
Currently the ticket is at the Charge Certificate stage, is there any hope of me appealing?
