But it could also be seen as an admission of guilt.My friend was offering to pay to show the court that we have tried to settle this matter fairly and reasonably. As they could can use that as evidence if it goes further. £20 to end this...
Understandable, but have they seen this video?......they are scarred by the thought of going to court.

Your proposed letter is out of date because it refers to the Practice Direction - Pre-Action Conduct which was replaced on 1 October 2017 with the Protocol for Debt Claims.
the new Protocol contains similar provisions, and then incorporates the sanctions under paras 13-16 of the original Practice Direction.
You need to look again for a precedent letter that refers to the PROTOCOL, not the PD. Alternatively, if you google CPR (Civil Procedure Rules) and look at the pre-action protocols, read the old PD (which still exists and applies to other types of claims) and the new Protocol and amend the middle part of your letter where you refer to specific paras of the PD (just change them so they refer to para numbers in the Protocol).

I think my friend is in way over their head. I'm trying so hard to understand the wordings into all of this but there's a reason I'm not a lawyer. The new PROTOCOL seems to be more in favour of the debt collectors not having to have to provide as much information.0

I think you've got that wrong.
The new protocol insists the creditor gives much more information and has many more hoops to jump through.0 -
Let's cut to the chase on this ....
Does the reference number on the Gladstones letter commence 1xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx or 5xxx?
To whom does the letter tell you to pay?Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
