Why bother if your going to pay the fine, tell them you intend to take legal advice
on this and you await their response to this letter ...If you tell them you intend to pay the fine
they will put in the "tare up and laugh file"..!!
Let them respond, you have not said you wont pay the fine you just want a response to your letter
this will go to the Constabulary Local Inspector for a comment, before they reply to you. God Luck mate.
Problem is I've what 28 days to pay... what do I do if it takes more than 28 days for them to respond to me?
I don't really want a £100 fine to double or worse. I've kinda accepted that I've no chance of beating them on this, and all I can do is voice my displeasure.
Surely you have now put it into dispute by querying their decision.
Please check this out as I'm not saying this will work, best to check it our legally.
It does stop some offences if you query them and they have to reply.
I think you have grounds to ask questions, and it will be interesting how the answer them.
If they don't reply I would then ask "why", keep's adding fuel to your case.
