EXCEL PARKING FINE- what to do.

I have read sooo many threads on here and I'm still unsure as what to do.
Yesterday I returned to my car to find a parking ticket had being slapped onto my window. It was in an Excel parking lot in Middlesbrough. Its free to park there if you're using the leisure park. I was filmed leaving the car park and they slapped me with this £60 fine (£100 if not paid in 14 days) I did leave this car park but only to go to a cash point, I came back and used the facilities on the park and was back well in the time allowed (4 hours)
I don't know what to do, a lot of people have said ignore any letters as they can't do a lot. I've appealed tickets before and they've come back and said pay a reduced amount but I'm sick to death of these companies demanding ridiculous amounts!! Wish I'd kept my receipt from Nandos as proof I was actually there.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated:)

- no need for a new thread really when the Newbies sticky thread covers how to appeal and win.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD0 -
Do not pay, do NOT ignore, do not reveal who was driving, do not contact the parking company yet.
Everything you need to know is contained in the Sticky thread for NEWBIES at the top of the forum. Read this whilst you wait for the NTK to arrived. (Acronyms are all explained in the NEWBIES thread as well.
