S.172 from a speeding fine that I never received (Uk, England)

So about a year ago i got caught speeding doing 42 in a 30, they
sent the letters for this to an old address. My V5C address was
out of date but the court sent letters to 3 other addresses, non
of which matched the address on the V5C anyway. I first heard
about this when a bailiff contacted me a few weeks ago, since
then I have submitted a statutory declaration which has been
accepted but now I have a court hearing via video coming up and
I'm unsure what to expect. Sources I've read online indicate i
should plead not guilty to both the speeding and the S.172 to
prompt the prosecutor to withdraw the S.172 charge (as i
genuinely did not receive the speeding notice)
Has anyone else gone through this, what should I do? Unsure on
how to speak to the prosecutor about a plea deal when it's a
video link hearing?

Did you read the “READ THIS FIRST” sticky?

I have read it, there is information about s.172 there but it
doesn't answer my question
