Thanks for your help with the above. I emailed in a complaint letter as suggested, noting that payment had been made in full before leaving, and per the new codes of practice a PCN shouldn't have been issued.
NPC have replied to say that following review the PCN has been cancelled 'as a gesture of goodwill'(!!). Thanks all for your assistance.

LOL!

I seized the chance to raise your case directly with the IPC last month when I had their attention in 'another place' where they had no choice but to listen to me and could not fob me off. I suspect that may have helped but who knows. I thought you'd like to know that I did some serious leaning on the IPC when the opportunity arose and your case was raised & linked specifically.

Anyway, you must take the credit for being persistent. Result!
