But that driver has never had a PCN or a chance to appeal to POPLA themselves?

Well during POPLA the PPC renamed the PCN from the RK to the driver. When POPLA only allowed 2 out of the 4 appeals, it was argued that the driver had never been given chance to appeal. But POPLA have refused to accept that and enabled the PPC to now pursue the driver under the same PCN ref.

The other driver concern is over having to attend court if it came to that.

Why is that a concern?

I think in terms of putting their case forward both accurately and confidently, the prospect of court is somewhat daunting.

Debt Recovery Plus letters ceased for weeks - now a new one from CST Law acting on DRP behalf, chasing a debt of £320 for one or more PCNs, not specificed in the letter. I'll upload redacted copy. I have been working on this for driver, but they are now extremely concerned by the prospect of going to court if LBC letter comes next. Thought I read somewhere recently from Martin Lewis that rejected POPLA can be used during claim process and potential court costs over £400. Can't find the details now - relates to the whole process being put on hold during lockdown.

That's just another debt crawler letter and can be filed and ignored like the rest.

Do search for other CST threads, especially the joint thread for everyone who gets such a letter.
The next one might call itself a LBC, but if it says CST are acting for DRP, then it's still a debt crawler letter. In that case complaints to the SRA and FCA should be made as it is a debt collection letter masquerading as a letter before claim. In other words it is a false instrument.

As for costs if the scammers win, it will be around £175 - £200. If the defendant wins they could get up to £95 in ordinary costs.
If there is more than one PCN then they must (should) be consolidated so would be an extra £100 on top, not double the amount.

This forum has an exceptionally high win rate as long as the advice here is followed.
Someone more savvy than the defendant can act as a lay representative in court and speak as if they were an untrained lawyer, but the defendant must attend.

So potentially £300?
