NUMERICAL VOUCHER CODE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER IN VOUCHER FIELD AT CHECKOUT

I have a valid voucher offer from a vendor and have confirmed with them that the voucher is correct and valid but when i try to apply the voucher at checkout the voucher field auto disables the apply button (greyed out) any text string entered in the field that starts with a numerical value of which this code does (see attached pic)

 

Someone must've had this issue before 

 

Please could someone advise what to do
