PCN for part payment of Blackwall Tunnel charge - any comeback?

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.

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.

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