Any help greatly appreciated!

I have just moved into an apartment block, and there was a parking permit in an envelope for my use left by the previous occupant. I have an allocated parking spot, but had so much on with organising my move in, that I forgot to put the pass in my windscreen.

Subsequently, I have received a PCN for not displaying the permit. £80 if I pay up in the next 7 days or £120 thereafter.

Should I speak to the apartment management company or just ignore this?

Just ignore.

In the long term, you might want to obtain a copy of the flat's lease from your landlord or another owner/occupier in the same development. This will tell you if the lease grants you the rights to the space anyway and whether VCS have any authority over the land whatsoever. In this case you would be entitled to tell the management company/VCS to get stuffed and reject any permit scheme you are not legally obliged to participate in.
