Parked in a parking place or area not designated for that class of vehicle

"Parked in a parking place or area not designated for that class of vehicle."
I am not sure whether I have contravened but in place I parked, a friend and I checked the signs and they clearly showed, at the time, it was outside any controlling hours and there was no mention of designated class of vehicle. So question?
If I did park in the alleged space, would I still be liable for payment whether I have parked outside the designated time or not?
In addition, no PCN was attached to my windscreen, and I was posted a letter highlighting the incident. I presume therefore any PCN was not served correctly?
Finally, if I parked in the space, PCN was served, although I dispute, and I am liable for payment, should I not be entitled to a discount? This was not offered and I have demanded to pay the full £120. Legally am I entitled to a discount?

Who gave you the ticket?
Private Parking Company
Or Council/PoliceI all have learnt is from others on many sites.
Seek legal help if unsure.
Dont pay Private Parking tickets - they are mere invoices.
PRESS THANKS

Photos of the sign and an exact location for us to google would be useful too.0
