    You need to answer all the questions that regulars are asking - FULLY. Try having a go at those asked by Fruitcake, especially the one aboutthe 'infringement' Smart are accusing you of.

    Are you a gym member?

    Is there a requirement in the gym to enter your car registration number on an iPad?

    It says 'Smart Parking ltd have the right to seek payment of the parking charge for unauthorised parking of the vehicle on the land on the relevant date as owner of the land, on the basis of a contractual right to occupy or to have possession of the land, or acting as agent of the landowner'. i.e PRIVATE LAND!

    the parking charge for unauthorised parking of the vehicle on the land on the relevant date
    Subject to more detail, this doesn't look like an overstay ticket (and a Grace Period 'Defence' may not be relevant), more a VRM input issue.

    This is rather like pulling teeth. We now know it's next to a gym. Sadly my crystal ball doesn't tell me if the gym asks for a reg number or answer any of the other multiple questions asked.

    Can I suggest reading the thread and answering the questions as fully and openly as possible. We can only give advice on the information we have and if the information is scant so is the advice.

    I've not asked you to reply. If more details were known about the gym - it would have been included.

    What details does the NTK give of the alleged infringment? You still have not answered that.

    OK, but my questions were:

    1) Who owns the car park?

    2) What was the ANPR entry time?

    You have told us that Smart Parking are acting on behalf of the landowner.

    Perhaps I should re-phrase 1) to be "who is the landowner?"
