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/Police
    I 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.
