ANPR Appeal

First off i have read through the newbies section and very well documented. just making sure the experts think i have a case.
I have recently been an "Invoice" from NCP car park, it says i was 27 minutes late from when i entered until when i left, i paid for the up to 4 hours, however if you factor in the grace periods of minimum of 10 minutes it should technically work out at 7 minutes. i have the choice to pay £60 now or in 14 days will rise to £100. being a sunday finding a parking space was busy so a tad unfair. i bought the ticket 5 minutes after i entered the car park.

Should i pay the £60 or do you think i have a chance, wanna make sure before i appeal.

    We never encourage paying. The whole Newbies thread is how not to pay.

    I know, just never done something like this before, and worry about my credit rating being effected in anyway. I saw this while researching and got rejected with 17 minutes and mines 27?

    Your credit rating will not be affected win or lose, pay or not. You don't have a credit agreement with the parking company.

    Okay thank you, i guess the worst that could happen if i dont appeal is the £100? i don't understand why they rip you off so much!! i understand charges for being late but £100 for 5 minutes is extensive! i will copy the template for the first appeal, reading the newbie thread and NEVER say the drivers name, is that correct? i shouldn't also send it right away, is that correct?
