You have an invoice, don't pay it.

that was quick but what do i do t=with the invoice? Just keep it?

Does your council give you one of these?

yh but is it breaking the "rules" to wait in the car park before buying a ticket cuz it says that i exceeded the "time for drivers to enter and exit the car park"
and im kind of worried

It's a private company that has issued the ticket. It has as much legal strength as a piece of toilet paper.

Do not under any circumstances pay the ticket, write back to them tellin them to stop harrassing you and inform them you will not be paying the invoice.

Simply ignore them, they will not take any further action.

Bit of a contradiction there isnt there ???

Advice with private tickets / invoices is to COMPLETELY ignore them, do not get into any correspondance with them full stop.

Don't write it just encourages them. Simply ignore it and any subsequent letters you receive.
