    Thanks @Coupon-mad, but I've been unable to make the changes you've advised as I had to submit the WS yesterday.

    Why not send a revised version?  They  can either accept or reject it.

    Just as an update to outcome:
    • Hearing was set for 7th April 21
    • Gladstones offered save as to costs offer of £120 on 16th March
    • Rejected this and we offered drop-hands settlement 26th March
    • They accepted 31st March and withdrew
    Thanks to everyone on here who helped me. If it was my own claim I would have gone all the way and recovered costs, however my partner wanted the issue 'gone'. We're very pleased with the outcome!

    And as if by magic, on Friday, we've received a fresh PCN, this time it's euro car parks. (Their pay and display machine wasn't working, the car was moved to an adjacent car park and ticket purchased there, but they picked up plates on ANPR and have sent PCN)

    But thanks to this forum now know what to do from the start. Thanks again and much appreciate the support you guys give here!!
