Barrier open, bagged up, no where to purchase ticket - Still received parking fine

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could advise please, last week I had entered a Britannia car park (private company) at 7pm in Newcastle and both barriers were left open with the ticket machine at the barrier, bagged up. I had looked about to see if there was anywhere to retrieve a ticket so that I could pay for parking but there was nothing. I was there for 30 mins and thought nothing of it until I had received a letter today with a photo of my reg and the time I entered and exited. Conveniently there was no photo of the bagged up machine. The letter had stated a £100 fine to be lowered to £60 when paid within a certain time frame. Can someone please advise? Unfortunately, I didn't take any photographic evidence at the time but will they have records that the barrier, I assume, was faulty?

The NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #1 will guide you through this. Also complain to the landowner/retailer/Hotel (or whatever type of car park it was).Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

This is easy and you are barking up the wrong tree. Do appeal, as keeper - HINT- Britannia can't hold a keeper liable. This is why the NEWBIES thread exists, to stop people appealing with the story of what happened and blabbing about who parked!PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
