I have been having trouble with electoral documentation being issues to me correctly, this has resulted in a fine being escalated, I was notified that your records indicate that notices for 24 Oct 2020 were issues correctly, I would like to see those records to confirm that the information is correctly.
Happy to provide further details if required.
