UKPC Parking Charge - Incorrect Vehicle Registration

Good evening all (and happy new year!),

I am lucky enough to be on the receiving end of a UKPC Parking Charge. I have read the Newbies sticky and am aware of the process that needs to be followed, however on closer inspection of the Parking Charge, they have got my vehicle registration incorrect.

I have tried a forum search but this does not seem to be a common topic. A quick google shows that the vehicle registration detailed on the Parking Charge is a registered vehicle.

What is the best course of action here?
(PS. I do feel slightly bad for the other vehicle owner for the pain they might now endure).

    Might be worth a "wait and see" if the keeper gets a NTK.

    How much is wrong one letter or number?

    If so there are thoughts this is done on purpose to get victims to appeal on that point thinking it will void the charge, where in fact the motorist often saves them the DVLA fee and admits to being the driver.

    does the vrn quoted appear on the DVLA website , can you view photos on UKPCs website of the vehicle with that number?

    There is one number wrong (i.e a difference between a 3 and 5).

    The VRN on the Parking Charge is a registered vehicle on the DVLA site, the photos on UKPC site show my vehicle with the different VRN.

    Apologies tried to edit above but was unable to.

    Should I also complain to the retailer's still? It is a gym / cinema complex I use multiple times a week...
