Only accountants could come up with this one
Pay your fine, but, NO POINTS DEDUCTED!
Read on:
This is how the points get added to your licence:
If you get a fixed penalty notice through the post which also carries
Penalty points the computer system first sends you a demand for the cash.
When you have paid, it then sends a demand to return your licence for Endorsement.
It cannot handle the licence endorsement and the payment at the same time,
And it cannot process the points part of the system until the financial
Section is complete.
If you overpay the fixed penalty, it must issue and send a refund cheque
For the overpayment.
Therefore, overpay the fixed penalty by sending a cheque for the full amount — Plus £1.
The computer will then automatically generate a refund cheque for the
Over-payment and send it to you.

This was mentioned on the limo forum the other day. I thought that you sent your license in at the same time as you paid the fine. Also surely the system would still show the points but they would just not be recorded on your paper license.
