MCOL received for 11 PCNs, 9 of which were a shock

Hi all! The NEWBIES thread has already proven really helpful and I have already submitted AOS, now I'm looking for advice on building my defense!
Having mooched on the forum for a bit, I haven't seen a case like mine and I'm stuck on how to proceed. Here are the details:
My original appeal letter included a photo of my valid car parking permit, which had fallen off the inside of the windscreen. Since its rejection, I've buried my head in the sand. I hadn't done enough homework and I thought the "Letter Before Claim" was so preposterous that it was just a scare tactic to elicit a response.
I don't really know how to proceed for a couple of reasons:
Thank you for reading this far!! Is anybody able to advise?
Having mooched on the forum for a bit, I haven't seen a case like mine and I'm stuck on how to proceed. Here are the details:
- Two PCNs received in March for displaying an expired ticket in a car park operated by UK Parking Management and Enforcement (UKPE).
- Naive appeal to to UKPE rejected.
- Letter Before Claim received for two known PCNs and nine additional PCNs, which I had no prior correspondence about or knowledge of.
- MCOL Claim Form received 23/06/2017 for eleven PCNs, plus indemnity and fees.

I don't really know how to proceed for a couple of reasons:
- The nine bogus PCNs (the first of which is dated 25/01!).
- The Claim Form has a typo, with the reference # of one of the two "real" PCNs omitted, and one of the bogus PCN references listed twice.
Thank you for reading this far!! Is anybody able to advise?
