Hello again. I received an Order for Recovery and a Witness Statement. I just wanted to confirm something though before I respond. I am down as the respondent but it was my wife that was driving, has the Blue Badge registered in her name and the one who lodged the initial appeal against the PCN on the LBBD website. However, on the Order for Recovery it states that the the application must be completed by the respondent. So is that me (who the letter is addressed to) or my wife?

Thanks everyone for your time and help. It's much appreciated. I'll keep you informed of any developments.

 Here's the 3 letters we've received so far - the last pic is the latest correspondence:

Hi
My wife is disabled and we parked in a dedicated disabled bay in Barking on 26/04/2024. We displayed my wife's valid Blue Badge but the timer fell onto the floor, I'm presuming when the door closed, and so we were issued a PCN for "Parking in a designated disabled person's parking place without displaying a valid disabled person's badge in the prescribed manner". However, when we returned to the the car there was no PCN on it so the first we knew that a PCN had been issued was when we received a letter (Notice to Owner) from Barking and Dagenham council advising that we had a PCN and that we now owed £130.
If we had received the PCN I would have paid it sooner at the reduced rate but at this point we decided to appeal.

We appealed via their online portal, submitting copies of my wife's Blue Badge and advising that a PCN was not attached to the car but didn't receive a letter or any notification advising the verdict of the appeal's decision. We then received another letter (Charge Certificate) advising the fine was now set to £195.

I spoke to someone at Barking Council in their parking dept advising that we didn't receive any notification from our appeal. She has advised that the only thing we can do is to challenge this PCN in court. We've now received an Outstanding Payment Reminder and advised that the PCN has been registered as a debt in Northampton County Court. 
I've never had a PCN from Barking and Dagenham Council, neither have I had to go to court to challenge a PCN so I'm not really sure of the process from this point.
Can anyone give me some advice about what I should do or what the likely outcome is at this point?
Honestly, I would have paid it at £70 but the way they've dealt with us has been really shoddy.. I don't want this costing me any more because I'm completely green in this area.
