Can DVLA charge both Late Licensing Fee (LLP) and Out of Court settlement (OCS)?

Somehow forgot to pay road tax and got clamped a few weeks ago. Paid fine, paid tax, paid outstanding tax, paid fees to unclamp vehicle. All in one go. 
Then couple of weeks later got a letter from DVLA stating I owe £104 for out of court settlement. 
When I called about it and stated I paid all fines and sorted it all out that same day the lady was super vague and said that I could appeal. 
I’m reading contradictory info online where some say you cannot be charged both LLP and OCS for the same offence.
Can anyone confirm or deny this please?
TIA
