    I'll have to look into this further but I'm guessing they will try and argue that technically they have sent payment by the deadline, albeit to the wrong address (assuming that is what they have done, I can't know for sure). Would be nice to sting them for their incompetence though considering the whole issue was caused because they never checked the address, I will definitely think about this because it would be hilarious.

    Overall - apart from the experience in and of itself it felt a bit like a waste of an hour, and as it was a small claims case I was told I could only really claim back costs to cover my expenses.
    As I'd only driven a mile or so to the court I said I wasn't looking for travelling costs but I would like them to reimburse me the £1.60 I paid in the CAR PARK to which the Judge smirkingly agreed, I think just for the sake of the irony!!

    Brilliant! Well done and thanks for the update and court report.

    It would be serious revenge to do as suggested by lamilad!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
