Do I have to pay

Suzanne1001

I parked in a disibility bay at crystal peaks shopping centre and forgot to put my blue badge out. I got a parking ticket from UKPC so I have to pay it or can I ignore it.  Some people say ignore and some say have to pay I am confused
Thank you x

Do not pay. Do not ignore.

Instead follow the guidance freely given in the NEWBIES thread:

You need to WAIT TILL DAY 26 then appeal as registered keeper, and show the Blue Badge. 
And complain to the retail park, to cancel it.

DO NOT IMPLY WHO WAS DRIVING IN EITHER. 
The newbies thread already tells you all this.

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and has been known to get the charge cancelled.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.
