has anyone used parkingfines.org.uk and had success

So I got two tickets from NPM. I paid one but ignored the other. now I've become a little worried the fine is now £160. I stumbled upon a website parkingfines.org.uk and it says for £18 it can get rid of my ticket. I emailed them and they said none of their clients that have got a ticket from NPM has gone to court. Is this too good to be true? I already stated i was the driver by accident as i only looked online afterwards

    Do their TripAdvisor reviews help you?

    For the princely sum of £0.00 you can beat these tickets using a combination of the sticky thread on here, further advice from this forum, and a smattering of common sense

    You do not need a company to beat NPM.

    Some of them - not that one - are shockingly aggressive and IMHO, worse than PPCs.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    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.

    Seems the poster doesn't want to believe what he'll be told - he's posted the same 2 questions on Pepipoo as well
