Thanks, there are plenty of forums out there where people will give general advice based on multiple scenarios. My apologies for assuming this was one of them. I'll try elsewhere.

Sorry, this tickled me...
OP: I'm not the best person for advice on PCN and the companies, but I do know that there are a huge numbers of scammers and companies which act in awfully underhand ways to illegally extract money from people who parked perfectly legally; or which try to apply fines & charges to people when they have no legal right to make those charges.

My advice would be to pay any fine\charge that comes your way.

This is one of the best of them and you will get much shorter shrift if you pull this kind of stunt elsewhere.
However, a little very basic info is needed - particularly who issued the ticket. Without that, we don't know if you are dealing with a legit council ticket or a private ticket from a BPA AOS member or a non member - all of which will have different advice and proceed along different lines.0 -
If you throw the teddy, you could end up with Bailiffs seizing your car whilst you sleep if the council have issued the ticket, I would advise you to put the toys back in the pram, answer the questions asked, seek help if you fail to understand those questions after multiple requests and let the people on here try to help you.
Multiple people are pointing out the information required, please, calm down, we will help if you do as we ask.
We have no crystal ball and the answers to the questions, which are all the same question will determine if we advise you to screw it up and put it in the bin or start filing forms to a court to reset clocks to avoid bailiffs taking the car and items from your home.
It really is that specific, trust us.
Calm down, come back with the paper work in your hand type post bumped, with a brew and sit down and watch the thread.
We do want to help, we can help, we do help.
But we need you to help us a bit.Be happy...;)0 -

See, look - what I said.
But with more details & better put as they actually know what they're talking about :rotfl::DNever argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0 -

Look we can't give general advice if you are not giving us a few details, if we give the wrong advice on assumptions what does that make us look like if you come back in a few months with a CCJ?
1) Is this a council or private parking company?
2) Is this in England or Wales?
3) Did you get a ticket on the car or was it mailed to you?
4) If ticket on the car did you get the NtK within 56 days?
5) If mailed to you did you get it before 14 days of the ticket on the car?
6) which companies gave you this?
7) Are there any debt collectors writing to you now?
Number 6 is needed because it depends on which company for the advice, if it was Parking Eye/Civil Enforcement Ltd/UKCPS , they issue claims in the courts on a small number of cases. If its anyone there is a a much smaller chance of a claim
If you are not prepared to answer then go elsewhere where probably the advice will be wrong, and then don't blame us if you are sat in the small claims with no helpWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

I'm at work and don't have the details to hand, I will get them tonight.
In the meantime, if we work on the assumption that both are legitimate...
Chances are they are not legitimate, but made to look like they are.
Chances are this 'bailiff' was no such thing, just a hyped up debt collector0 -
Oh well he's gone, hope the general advice in the plenty of other forums doesn't land him up with CCJ when they say ignore everything.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
