...it is scary going to court - not that I've ever done it!

As you've never done it, have a look at this short video...

Thanks for all your advice. Thanks especially for the video - that's not at all what I imagined! I've gone completely through the process now, my MP has been in touch with Premier Park who won't lift the PCN and also POPLA who are not interested at all, depsite getting most of the facts of the case wrong. I've written a final letter in reply to their red bordered letter giving me 14 days to pay saying I consider it an unfair imposition, and it is now £115. Especially in these times I think they are a disgrace.

SCC has no similarity to that drama queen on telly whatsever.  The rejection of your MPs intervention should be mentioned to the judge if this gets to court. 

Ask them what the extra £15 is for and where the law allows it.  Keep chipping away, it costs them money.

I've received a letter from Data Recovery Plus with a demand that I pay the parking charge balance which is now £170. They say that their client has previously written to me about my parking charge, and as this still remains unpaid they want to collect the outstanding balance. The balance was then £115. The letter states the reason for the issue of the fine was "whole period of parking not paid for". This was because I put the wrong reg no into the ticket machine, but proved beyond a doubt that I had paid the fee, and that the car was mine. There is a whole paragraph of guff about the difficulties I may be facing due to Covid-19, and that they can be contacted by phone to make an "affordable" payment plan where they will offer a sympathetic ear!! I have written to them via Resolver asking yet again for this matter to be dropped, and have posted the letter by Royal Mail. What will happen next? Am I really going to have to pay this iniquitous fine for a simple mistake? It is such a worry, I hadn't heard from anyone since 30th March and thought my letter to Premier Park, which I sent off immediately on receipt of their demand for £115, together with the new agreement for all of the agents not to harass registration number infringements had finally made them see sense. Any advice would be most gratefully received. Thanks,
