UKPC / Debt Recovery Plus Ltd.. HELP

Hi
I have recently moved onto a UKPC controlled housing estate. Most bays are numbered but there a very few that are allocated for visitors.
When I first moved onto the estate we didnt receive permits for our vehicles as we only have a 1 bed flat. We have tried to be smart and avoid parking there in peak times, but when we occasionally need to, we have used the 24hr visitors permits given to us by UKPC.
Me and my partner probably now have around 9 tickets, between us, from them, requesting payments of £120.00 a go (what a rip off). The first few I appealed as we were displaying VALID PERMITS?? that were clearly shown in the images they took of both vehicles too - confused? After receiving a few, I gave up and came on here.
I also recently received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd demanding £160.00 or else? I have read lots of threads but no one seems to have received more than 1 ticket..
My question is... will they take us to court seen as we have more than 1 ticket? If so... What my argument? Are they even allowed to demand money from me?

What does your lease/tenancy agreement say about parking? The exact wording please.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.All my screwdrivers are cordless."You're Safety Is My Primary Concern Dear" - Laks0 -
What does your lease say? even if it days nothing they can be an advantage to you.
What were you told about parking?From the Plain Language Commission:
"The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"0 -
My lease doesn't include anything to do with parking.
When viewing the property I was told that all 1 bedroom flats on my estate are not provided with parking due to them not having enough space?
I questioned this many times with UKPC and stressed how inconvenient it is as we have 2 cars.. Hence why I have been using the visitors passes in peak times.0
