ANPR error NCP Market way , Portsmouth

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any experience of ANPR being faulty? I received a 100 pound penalty charge from NCP Market Way in Portsmouth for "non-payment" of ticket (didn't receive initial pcn but that's my word against theirs). However, I did buy a ticket but my bank statement only shows that I bought a ticket on the day in question, from an NCP but they say that is not enough evidence! Have now received letter from debt collector. I'm not disputing that I was there because I was; just don't know what to do next- I now have a letter from my bank manager which details the time I bought the ticket (it was 2 minutes before I left the carpark) but it doesn't say which car park. After doing some googling i discovered that earlier in the year the same car park had sent out several pcns in error. Any thoughts/ advice from anyone please?

    NCP never sue anyone, so ignore them if you have missed the appeal time, you should have killed this at POPLA you know. Never mind!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
