Incorrect registration number on ticket...do I need to pay?

Whilst on holiday recently we received a penalty charge notice for accidentally parking on a clearway (there were many cars parked along a verge beside stretch of road but all the cars whose wheels were slightly on the road, not fully on the verge, got a ticket.)
However our registration number is printed incorrectly on the ticket - one digit wrong.
I was wondering if there was any way to track me down if I just didn't pay.

    Sit tight for now and see if you get an NTK - The chances are slim because an incorrect reg is normally fatal to a legit/council windscreen ticket. They cannot legitimately go-back and correct their mistake by getting your reg off notes/photos/other media.

    If, on the very slim chance you do, then take this over to the Pepipoo Forum, who are the acknowledged experts on fighting legit tickets - but do read the info/guides first and be ready to supply all the info they ask for. :)

    Please confirm who issued the parking charge notice.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Yes. Council or private firm? Which company name/Council?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
