Fine from UK Car Park Management CPM

So i parked today with a disabled blind occupant in a disabled parking bay. After 5-6 minutes according the timestamp, I recieved a Parking Charge Notice for Not Displaying a Valid permit. I had my blue badge clock and card on the dashboard clearly displayed, i assumed parked was free as I was carrying a blue badge but I missed the sign which said that i needed a pay and display ALSO, attatched pic to this: upload.ee/image/6207768/20160929_172123.jpg
On the notice it says "The vehicle was parked on private property in contravention of the site parking restrictions as displayed on the signage or permit". I have to add that the 'and' they added in on the sign was purposely made small for getting people fined. i've read on the citizens bureau that i Should appeal this as I was carrying a disabled (blind) person. What can I do about this guys? :mad:

Also, I have to add that the ONLY way to appeal this is by sending a ***** letter! C'mon it's 2016 and you have to send a letter to appeal something. they've purposely made it hard to appeal so people wouldn't bother. No online or telephone option

    WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF PRIVATE PARKING EX-CLAMPERS, TRYING TO SEPARATE YOU FROM YOUR MONEY. STOP READING CAB ADVICE ABOUT PRIVATE PARKING RIP-OFFS; THEY HAVE NO CLUE!

    Well with any parking 'ticket' there is never a 'telephone option' anyway...never ever try to phone about a PCN (not even a Council one). You need a paper trail. And yes, UKCPS make it difficult to appeal but they'll turn it down anyway so don't bust a gut over it.

    Please read 'NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST'* because UKCPM are an IPC firm who will reject your appeal anyway, no matter what you say. That is NOT telling you to pay the scam - the NEWBIES thread explains in posts #1, #3 and #4.

    Read the NEWBIES* sticky thread and complain to the landowner. One way to get an IPC ticket quashed.

    What sort of car park site is it, does it have retailers or businesses? Hospital?
