Is this worth challenging for on the ground of not adequate and non compliance? Thanks.

My findings
Thank you for your email. We identified that case FR65785438 was subject to a revocation order issued by the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC), despite a Paid
Statutory Out of Time (SOT) application having been submitted within the required timeframe. Further correspondence was received on 18 May 2026. To clarify the basis on which the application had been granted, we contacted the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC) on 3 June 2026. TEC subsequently confirmed that the application had been approved in accordance with the relevant regulations. Following receipt of this confirmation, we contacted the Enforcement Authority (EA) on 15 June 2026 and requested that the refund be processed. The EA confirmed on the same day that the refund had been actioned. The remaining administrative steps were then completed, and Box 1 was finalised on 22 June 2026, bringing the matter to its conclusion.
Conclusion and decision
For the reasons set out in my findings above, your complaint is not upheld.
In line with the Interpretation Act 1978 regarding notice, we are required to post the letter, and this is sufficient for us to presume that notice has been given. For us to consider that notice hasn’t been received, you would need to provide evidence in support of this.

Where an Act authorises or requires any document to be served by post (whether the expression “serve” or the expression “give” or “send” or any other expression is used) then, unless the contrary intention appears, the service is deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the document and, unless the contrary is proved, to have been effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.
