Misspelt licence plate PCN

Hi
I parked in a private car pack which took photos of my car on the way in and on the way out. I stayed for approx 6 hours but had bought a ticket for 10hours so there's no way i overstayed. I didn't keep the ticket as i didn't think i would need it.
The PCN was received by post saying there's no payment received for my reg. I presume i must have entered my license plate incorrectly. I appealed already asking if they could check at that time as there must be a reg that has not been matched to any other car and that is similar to mine.
They have responded now saying that no payment was made to my reg so the PCN is valid. I have been given a POPLA number to dispute with, but if i do the fine will go up to £100.
Do you think i should just pay it? or should i contest it with POPLA and risk it going up to £100? Bearing in mind i have admitted i am the driver already and i don't have proff of a ticket.
Thanks for your help.
