UKPC parking charge

Hi,

I received a 'UKPC' parking charge yesterday in Liverpool. There were signs on the meter saying you had to 'Phone and Pay' to pay for parking, which I did and I was well within my limit - In hindsight it wasn't clear if the 'Phone and Pay' was intended for on street parking or the parking in the retail parking directly adjacent. I came back to a UKPC ticket asking for £100 (£60 within 14 days) as "Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket". I obviously have proof that I paid via a mobile app, but reading through the threads have shown they immediately reject any attempt to argue.

It's a company car (my own company) so I am down as a named driver. Can anyone offer any advice on best way to move forward?
Thanks in advance.

    Appeal in the name of the registered keeper (company) on day 26, online, just as the NEWBIES thread says.

    Then win at POPLA, as shown in post #3 of the NEWBIES thread. No naming the driver if they write to ask!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
