GMP saying they never received s172 but did receive payment

Hi all,
On 05/04/25 I was convinced of doing 56 in a 40. Letter asked
for driver details and stateded £100 fine and 3 points for said
offence. I sent the letter back admitting to the offence and
sent payment along with it. I then received a letter saying in
hadn't sent the letter off but they have recived payment which
is weird as I sent them in the same letter. The fine then was on
4 points £232 fine because of court costs. They then refunded
the original £100 I sent and now want me in court on 04/11/25
along with a letter of a timeline of their understanding of
events. Not sure what more to include on here but I hope this
summarises my situation enough to get the ball rolling.
Any more info needed ask away I'll try my best to help.
Thanks for reading through!

What form did your reply take?
Did they tell you to send £100 with your response?

Opening post make no sense, you have to reply to the S172
request first, and then get the offer of the fixed penalty next.
It sounds like the £100 was sent at the time of the nomination.
Clarification on the timeline needed.

I don't know why we bother when the OP's can't be bothered to
tell us what actually happened.
To save a lot of hassle for regulars on here who don't know any
better than to pander to such entitled morons, the OP similarly
couldn't be bothered to read the instructions for accepting the
COFP or following the part about sending off his identification
details (generally referred to by the police as "licence
details" to the Fixed Penalty Clerk - which has nothing to do
with the separate s. 172 requirement.
No more pandering. Thread closed.
