Parking in a special enforcement area adjacent to a dropped footway

Options
Hi there,

I was served with a PCN for being 'parked in a special enforcement area adjacent to a dropped footway'. This was in Colchester and after reading some things online I'm under the impression there should be signs to let people know the area outside of London? And if it's on the road outside residential premises, no yellow lines or anything then I can challenge it?

Furthermore, they noted down the registration of the car wrong and it was a hire car, does this mean if I don't respond they wouldn't find the car? But they must take pictures of it themselves right?

Sorry for all the question marks, I'm quite confused about it all!

Thanks!

    The most important bit of your post is the wrong reg number, how wrong? don't quote the whole vrn, just the wrong bits.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
