    I'm just wondering if I should pay off the money or should let them take me to court.

    They suggested I pay the £85 then and today they just called saying I need to pay the remaining amount 
    Was that in writing?  If so, were there any conditions attached - like 'full and final settlement', 'instalment', 'part-payment'?

    Which parking company are involved?  It won't be TNC, they are just debt collectors.

    add in a few more questions:
    Did you pay by credit card?
    also a quick search of arsenal car park pulls up a few places, whose car park was this? location? retail park? railway station? football club?

    No.  You should NEVER have paid the £85 so don't make it worse!

    or should let them take me to court. 
    certainly!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Send TNC a SAR (subject access request) requiring they furnish you explicitly with recordings of the call made on X date (when you agreed to the full and final settlement of £85) and any notes made on their case handling system about you. 
    WHen they offerd £85 EXACTLY WHAT did they say - was this final settlement? anything else?

    I'm wondering why you paid a powerless debt collector in the first place.

    You certainly should not be paying them another penny, and I agree with BT. You should be trying to get your money back from your card provider because you were obviously misled into believing you had to pay a scammer's scammer.

    Please go back through this thread and answer all the questions already asked.
