Have we messed it up by contacting them, or can I proceed with the bog-standard approval process?

Doesn't sound like you have. 

Simply use the blue text template initial appeal from the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, first post, with an extra sentence stating they've failed to meet the strict requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (Schedule 4) for them to be able to hold the registered keeper liable. 

A further sentence to the effect, if they're going to reject your appeal, they must provide you with a POPLA code, where you will get this cancelled, and you want a full refund of the drop-off fee payment you've made to them, or you will be reporting their retention of the fee to Trading Standards, and you will be taking advice as to whether this action is tantamount to fraud, with reports being made to the BPA and DVLA. 

I'd anticipate them dropping this like a hot potato.

Can someone please share the link to the "NEWBIES FAQ" where I can find the blue text template? 

Thanks

The sticky Announcement for NEWBIES is one of the threads "stuck" to the top of the page and looks like this.



Please read it thoroughly, but do not post on it.
