Think I am a curve-ball... (CCJ, Own Spot, Weak Position??)

Hi all,
First of all - really appreciate this community. The detail on here is astonishing.
To summarise succinctly:
- Earlier this month received a letter from Newlyn on behalf of Gladstones on behalf of UKCPM chasing a CCJ handed down to me in March 2019 for a contravention in July 2017.
- No prior knowledge of the contravention and no correspondence (this was an 'own space' scenario but I moved out of this property in Jan/Feb 2018).
- I'm looking to get the case set aside but have concerns as:
1. I lived at the address in question for 2 years but I was sub-letting so no access to tenancy agreement.
2. When I moved out of the address I didn't update V5/driving license as the move was motivated by a job in London and I stopped driving shortly afterwards.
- In my favour is potentially:
1. The V5 registration was my mum's address and she hasn't received any correspondence either (and my understanding is that the DVLA would have handed these details over).
2. When I first moved in in 2016 I got a ticket, which I appealed and lost (without your help, of course) and ultimately paid. Circs there were our parking permit came from the estate agent and we didn't have on the move in date as it was a weekend. Thought maybe useful to evidence that I'm not averse to paying??
3. As above - we definitely did have a permit which worked as this was my permanent parking spot for 2 years (but as I didn't have/never seen the tenancy agreement I don't know what was said about it or if it was informal).
I'm looking to get this set aside but feel like my argument could be perceived as weak. The CCJ is for £277, debt collector currently pursuing £367 and I'm wondering whether on balance I should just pay up and eat the nuked credit?
I've drafted a setting aside response and want to send by Friday as the debt collector letter is dated 3rd Feb (didn't pick up until 8th Feb as who uses snail mail these days?)
Appreciate any advice!
