Ticket issued but with wrong road name

Hello all, this is my first time using this section of the site as it is the 1st time I have been issued a ticket for motoring.
I was working last night and parked my car in the city of london in the same usual spot that I always do it. What I did not realise is that on the bay times, there was a sign saying parking not allowed as bay/space is suspended.
I arrived to my car at 06.30 this morning and realised that I had been issued with a PCN at 05:50. all details on the notice were right however, the road name was missing one 'O'. it said 'blom' instead of 'bloom'. Is there any way of challenging this?
As christmas is coming up,I cannot afford to cash out another £120 or £60(if paid within 14days) .
Where should I go from here?should I pay it?

I would post this on https://www.pepipoo.com for advice, scan both sides of the ticket, take photos of the bay and signs, host them on tinypic remove all personal details that identify you, and post the links there.
After seeing quite a few similar posts on there and here, it would suggest the ticket is fatally flawed, they can't right their mistake now.Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -
Personally I don't think this is enough to swing it so I think the OP should do as you suggest to see what else there is.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

No don't pay as you are then admitting the offence and game then over.
So people can follow the progress of this:
