Ukpc january 2014 camera help!!

Hi everyone,
I have looked at the sticky thread and drafted the first stage letter to UKPC but have not sent it out yet.
Here is my topic --
I got a new job so I was awaiting a permit for the car park. I parked in Matalan car park (New Malden) As I can remember there were no car park signs but I will confirm this when I go into work during the weekend. So I assumed I could park there...
Ive parked there for nearly 5days now and only today I recieved a letter from UKPC with my cars picture and number plate caught by camera. I do understand this letter is in regards to the first time I parked there so im assuming ill recieve 5 more charges. Just so its clear i've parked there for about 5-7 hours and out of all honesty I did not know it was regulated at all.
- 5 days = 5 charges, £60 each
- no signs that I could see but will confirm
- caught by camera not a window parking charge
- new job was for a different company not anything to do with matalan
1) What should I do? wait for the rest of the tickets and appeal them at once?
2) Simply ignore?
3) Should I contact the Matalan store? if so what should I say to them?
4) UKPC - The template letter in this forum. After I send it what will be the outcome assuming people have done it before?
Any help is much appreciated! PLEASE:doh:

Was there really any need for two identical threads?
Also with respect it seems like you've not read the Newbies thread at all as all your questions are answered in there. Might be an idea to go back and read/re-read it as what you want to know is all covered.0 -

Im not sure how forums work, so this is my first time.
And also in respect I have read it, but it does not state anything about camera fines aswell as numerous tickets and how I should challenge them (either seperate or altogther) however, my question has been answered.0
