I’ve been issued with a parking charge notice via an ANPR system.

I purchased a ticket within 5-minutes of my recorded time of entry to the car park, and I’m recorded exiting the car park 10-minutes before the ticket expired.

Luckily I have the ticket.

Having had to deal with the same company before, I am looking for advice as to how in this situation, I can cause the maximum amount of work and expense to the company.

Initially I am thinking ignore them, wait for them to issue court proceeding and just turn up to court with the ticket.

Would it be possible to claim expenses from them for what is clearly their mistake?

Is there a legal requirement to appeal, or even let them know I have a valid ticket before letting them start court proceedings?

Bad idea.

I am guessing you have checked the VRN, and what has happened is, they have added the 5 mins to the 10 mins and are going to pretend you've exceeded the 'total stay' allowed time that they will allege was x hours (paid for) plus 10 mins only?

Assuming this is a BPA firm like ParkingEye, send online the usual template from the NEWBIES thread and then search the forum for split grace period POPLA to win that way (costs them money).
