They do sometimes use discretion and here you can give evidence of paying the toll the other way an it was an honest error.

I don't like the paragraph in bold type starting "If you do not respond...." It refers to "the County Court", but no PCNs for any contravention can be dealt with at a County Court. The law mandates that TfL, like all other enforcement bodies in England and Wales, must register the PCN at the Traffic Enforcement Centre based in Northampton. This is a form of county court, but has no courtrooms or judges, just court officers who register PCNs so councils can start to collect the money, and who also assess submissions of Witness Statements and Statutory Declarations related to PCNs. There is therefore no possibility of a CCJ. We see this quite often and it is a means of intimidation to imply a CCJ may result, which most people are terrifed of, so cough-up.
Maybe Hippocrates will comment as well. Apart from that the rest of the PCN seems OK to me.

My wife received this over Christmas (We haven't had a PCN for over a year and now three in a week!)
Once again this appears to be bang to rights but every time I think that an expert here has saved me (though they have been different kinds of PCN).
My wife paid for only one journey through and forgot to pay for the return.
Before I pay it is the paperwork all as it should be? Is there anything incorrect as there often is with these? Hope so and thank you for your consideration.
