Overstaying - What is the Legal Defense?

If you offer them £25 they will accept that you are accepting liability.  Offer them nothing.

Personally I wouldn't offer them anything as they are unlikely to accept a lower offer.
Whatever you decide please try emailing Roadchef first - 10 minutes work could save you a whole lot of hassle.

Yep, they are cancelling these scam PCNs left, right and centre when a robust complaint is made to the right Head Office or CEO email.

Update - I've just had a letter through stating that the claim has been transferred to Wakefield.

This is a little confusing as I was told over the phone the claim had been discontinued and that I didn't need to do anything else.

Here's timeline from MCOL....

A claim was issued against you on 31/12/2020

Your acknowledgment of service was submitted on 04/01/2021 at xx:xx:xx

Your acknowledgment of service was received on 05/01/2021 at xx:xx:xx

Your defence was received on 18/01/2021

DQ sent to you on 17/02/2021

DQ filed by claimant on 17/02/2021

Notification that the claim against you was discontinued was received on 17/02/2021

Your claim was transferred to WAKEFIELD on 22/04/2021

Can anyone advise?

Why not ring the CCBC - their number is on your Claim Form - and ask them what's going on.

Just got this back from CCBC....

Good Afternoon

Thank you for your email

After looking at the Case i can see that the Claimant Sols only wanted some of the claim discontinued, so an application has been made and it has to be sent out to a Court for a DJ to make a Decision, it was transferred on 22 April 2021, if you require further information you could contact DCB Sols on tel No 0203 434 0433.

I was under the assumption it was the whole claim, or none of the claim. The CCBC previously told me I didn't need to do anything after it had been discontinued.

Maybe they discontinued on spurious charges but left the rest of the claim intact , clearly mcol history should have had more information

You are now awaiting paperwork from Wakefield county court because the CCBC has no more involvement

I think the person you spoke to at CCBC was probably reading from a script and didn't know what they were talking about.
It's definitely not all of the claim or none of the claim. They can and do discontinue part of the claim if it suits.
As per my previous post here I had two MSA PCNs' from CP Plus/DCBL on one court claim which were cancelled seperately, two weeks apart. It seems that CP Plus have only discontinued part of your claim i.e. one PCN only - did you not get a notice of discontinuance from DCBL? that should tell you. 
Did you email Roadchef as suggested?  that is your quickest and easiest solution otherwise it's Wakefield Court which even if you lose will be cheaper than paying what they are asking now as the extra fake charges and interest are unlikely to be awarded.

I've had a letter from the Civil Justice Centre stating that the court had incorrectly discontinued the whole claim, and that it's been ordered that the claim to be reinstated and the directions questionnaires to be reissued.

Where are you with contacting RoadChef?  They're issuing cancellations like confetti. This shouldn't get anywhere near a court hearing!
