Parking Charge Notice

I received a parking charge notice on my car whilst parked at a university staff car park by APCOA. I'm debating whether to pay this within the 28 day period to get the 50% discount. Interestingly the parking charge notice didn't specicy the amount with a £ it said #80.00. This alone makes me dubious.

Any thoughts on how I should proceed.

    What, pay APCOA, who we always (100% wins, for years) beat, as they fold at POPLA stage?!

    You'd be a mug, and I hope you are not. This is one of the easiest to see off at POPLA, no stress, did you miss the sticky thread telling you exactly how to appeal this and win?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Do you have a good reason why you want to give away your hard earned money to a company that makes money for old rope?
